Military and civil authorities in Changchun City, Jilin Province, have launched a joint initiative to promote awareness of national defense regulations, emphasizing the principle of "report issues immediately upon discovery." In recent times, the Changchun Military Sub-Command, in collaboration with relevant city departments, has been visiting villages to conduct educational sessions on national defense laws. In one suburban village, personnel from the Sub-Command used real cases to illustrate legal points: "In September of last year, Feng某某 piloted a drone, modified with self-altered battery cells, across a restricted military airspace and live-streamed the footage on a social media platform. The investigation revealed that the直播 captured the internal environment of a military airfield. Feng某某 was subsequently placed under criminal compulsory measures by public security authorities on suspicion of negligently disclosing state secrets." After hearing this, villagers expressed newfound understanding, stating, "Drones must be flown clear of prohibited areas like military restricted zones and classified units!" The staff then presented several other cases where individuals faced criminal liability for damaging military installations. Villagers raised numerous questions, such as, "Is it illegal to graze sheep near military facilities?" and "Should we report strangers loitering nearby?" Each query was addressed in detail by the personnel. One villager, Wang Shuqin, recalled an incident from early April when she saw a drone flying near a military facility for over ten minutes while working in the fields. At the time, she found it merely curious and did not report it. "If I encounter something like that again, I will definitely report it immediately," Wang Shuqin stated. At the event, every villager received a copy of "Safety Personnel Guidelines," which included contact numbers for reporting and key points for identifying suspicious activities. "Villagers are our eyes and ears," explained a staff member from the Sub-Command. Moving forward, military and local authorities will continue to conduct these legal awareness activities in villages and communities, aiming to cultivate a cohort of informed and law-abiding "first-line safety personnel." The village's public security director mentioned that a WeChat group has been established, including personnel from the armed forces department, township government, and public security bureau, enabling villagers to report unusual situations promptly. "I used to think protecting military facilities was solely the military's responsibility, but now I understand it's everyone's duty. We farm here every day and can spot anything unusual right away. If we see a problem, we'll report it immediately," villager Zhao Defa affirmed.
