Scientific and technological security includes eight aspects: scientific and technological security, scientific and technological support and security, scientific and technological talents, scientific and technological products, facilities and equipment, scientific and technological activities, scientific and technological achievements and application security of achievements. The relevant contents are as follows:
First, narrow sense
This situation reflects that in the international environment, the state has made the national science and technology system open to both the international environment and the interior through political, military, diplomatic, economic, scientific and technological means.
Coordinate operation to realize function optimization, ensure that the system does not incur internal and external threats and safeguard national interests. This definition regards science and technology as a concrete system, and the connotation of science and technology security is determined by the security state of the system itself.
In this sense, we should mainly focus on four points when investigating the security situation of science and technology: first, the strength of the country's scientific and technological strength; Second, the perfection of national science and technology regulations and policies; Third, whether the operation mechanism of scientific and technological work is effective; The fourth is the protection of science and technology system by the state.
Second, in a broad sense
Broadly speaking, scientific and technological security is a dynamic description of the national security situation determined by the interaction between scientific and technological systems and related systems under certain social environment conditions, especially in the international environment, based on the national value criterion.
The state of a country's scientific and technological security reflects four aspects of its national capabilities: first, the ability of national interests to avoid the threat of foreign scientific and technological advantages, hostile forces and destructive forces by scientific and technological means;
Second, the ability of national interests to avoid the negative impact of scientific and technological development itself; Third, the country's ability to use scientific and technological means to safeguard national security; Fourth, the country relies on science and technology to ensure the healthy development of science and technology and improve its comprehensive national strength in the international and domestic environment it faces.
The rapid development of science and technology poses a new challenge to the safety of science and technology. A new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation has accelerated the evolution, and the cross-integration of multi-disciplines and fields has deepened. Emerging technologies such as information technology and biotechnology have developed rapidly and been widely used. The permeability, diffusion and subversive characteristics of scientific and technological innovation are profoundly changing the production and lifestyle of human society and reshaping the mode of economic development.
Artificial intelligence, synthetic biology, gene editing and other technologies have had a great impact on social ethics, and the COVID-19 epidemic has put forward more urgent requirements for biological safety.
