A Study on the Latest Population Status and Typology of China's Border Areas from the Perspective of National Security——the Examination of Population Samples based on 140 Border Counties
Border areas are crucial defensive lines for national security,and their security is in-tegral to the nation's overall safety.Within the context of borderland security,the population security in border areas is of utmost importance.Surveys and research of population samples from 140 counties in 9 provinces and regions along China's land border areas show that the current population on land borders in China presents new development trends.From a typological perspective,the population in the Northeast border area is the largest in number and shows a continuous downward trend,followed by the total population in southwest border area.The Western border area has the smallest total popu-lation but demonstrates an upward trend,with a smaller increase in the total population on the Western border area than on the Southwest border area.In terms of different provinces and regions,there is an uneven dynamic trend in the increase and decrease of border population.For the population security issues in China's border areas,concepts such as"border garrison population","economic popula-tion",and"cultural population"are needed to explore new ideas and practical paths for the modern governance of China's border areas.
