The issue of national security has become an issue that all ordinary people must pay attention to, and it has become an issue that all ordinary people must pay attention to. Around this year's National Security Education Day, the People's Daily, Xinhua News Agency and other official media have successively exposed and criticized a number of typical cases, in order to raise the security awareness of the Chinese people.
In the past, as a member of developing countries, the Chinese people's "sense of secrecy" was indeed very limited. Because to put it bluntly, China's advantageous industries are limited, and the value of the attack is also limited, so everyone does not pay enough attention to this issue. When the Internet set off a scolding war, many people would use the words "catch 500,000" and "catch spies" to ridicule Chinese for being too sensitive.
But in recent years, things have changed as China has come to the center of the international stage. Several espionage cases at home, as well as frequent terrorist attacks abroad, point to one thing: our adversaries are becoming more and more unscrupulous, and ordinary people have become their targets. The so-called "500,000" may really be active around us.
Recently, several major cases that have been highlighted by state media include the theft of information on China's rare earth storage and directive plans, the theft of the original Chinese hybrid rice "Daomu", and the instigation of students by overseas anti-China organizations. From these cases, it can be seen that the direction of the opponent's attack can be said to be an "all-round attack", involving all aspects related to people's livelihood, such as food and critical minerals, and not only social people, but also students who are still on campus, and the situation of the national security struggle is very grim.
As part of the "overall war," the intelligence war organized by China and its foreign adversaries has long been waged. Moreover, judging from the current development trend, it is clear that there is room for further intensification.
Judging from the recent case of Russia, the focus of the national security war with the United States and the West is not only information warfare, but also counter-terrorism. In recent years, as the United States has fewer and fewer bargaining chips at hand to contain the development of its opponents, and the quality of American politicians has become more and more inferior, the means of maintaining hegemony have shifted from exporting local wars to exporting terrorist activities to foreign countries.
In the era of great power competition, the United States has neither the capital nor the guts to replicate a "quick solution" conflict similar to the Iraq War. For this hegemon, planning a terrorist attack has become a means of "reducing costs and increasing efficiency" in foreign interference, and only a few dozen or even a few people need to be trained to cause chaos in the opponent's country to the greatest extent, and even successfully strike at the opponent's critical infrastructure. From the bombing of Nord Stream 2 to the recent terrorist attack at the Moscow Concert Hall, the shadow of the CIA is indispensable behind it.
What's more, using the hegemony in its hands, the cost of planning a terrorist attack by the United States and its proxies can be said to be almost zero. A year and a half have passed since the bombing of Nord Stream 2, but the results of the joint investigation between the United States and the West have not been disclosed, and many countries have even withdrawn from the investigation altogether. Behind the terrorist attack in Moscow, it is clear that Ukraine and the United States are playing tricks, but in this matter, almost all the international mainstream media have invariably been "blind".
The United States and its proxies have succeeded time and time again, and they have already tasted the sweetness. In the future, attacks against China cannot be ruled out as well. Now, many overseas Chinese, especially Chinese engineers involved in infrastructure construction, have become targets of terrorist attacks. What we have to do is to strictly guard against it, be vigilant against the security loopholes around us, and build a moat of security awareness in the face of these ill-intentioned black hands. China's development has not come easily, and how to maintain the fruits of development and maintain a stable and peaceful life is a topic that everyone needs to think about.
