Ministry of National Security: Foreign Spies Steal Secrets in China's Rare Earth, Photovoltaic and Other Fields

In order to gain a competitive advantage over China, foreign espionage and intelligence agencies have carried out espionage and theft in strategic emerging areas such as rare earth, photovoltaic, semiconductor, high-end chips and artificial intelligence, and tried every means to steal our core technology and sensitive data in an attempt to grasp our strategic cards. We must have a new understanding of this.

On May 17, the public number of the WeChat of the "Ministry of State Security" published an article entitled "Stealing Secrets" One Foot Higher than Devil "and Keeping Secrets Must Be" One Foot Higher than Road ", which said that in order to gain a competitive advantage over China, foreign espionage and intelligence agencies had to go abroad. It has carried out espionage and theft in strategic emerging areas such as rare earth, photovoltaic , semiconductor, high-end chips and artificial intelligence, and tried every means to steal our core technology and sensitive data in an attempt to grasp our strategic bottom card. We must have a new understanding of this.

The original text is as follows:

In recent years, foreign espionage and intelligence agencies have adopted new methods, launched fierce offensives, intensified infiltration and instigation, and intensified activities of stealing secrets. Judging from the cases uncovered by the state security organs, it is alarming that individual secret-related units and personnel are paralyzed in their thinking and inadequate in the implementation of their responsibilities, resulting in the idling of the system and the absence of supervision. Safety is no small matter, the slightest mistake, a thousand miles; the responsibility is as heavy as a mountain, a careless move, the whole game is lost. Only by weaving a network with the system, casting the soul with the thought, and strengthening the shield with science and technology, can we build an indestructible national security defense line and protect the national interests in the storm. Look at

the new features

of stealing secrets-the target of stealing secrets is more critical. Foreign espionage and intelligence agencies regard the key parts and personnel of our Party, government and army as the key targets of infiltration and theft, and adopt the methods of technical eavesdropping and personnel rebellion to spy on and steal our state secrets. The intensity of attack is increasing and the intensity of confrontation is increasing. We must have a clear understanding of this. The technology of

stealing secrets is more advanced and covert. Foreign espionage and intelligence agencies have invested huge amounts of money and resources to use the latest scientific and technological achievements to infiltrate and steal secrets from China. The technology is very advanced, the camouflage is more covert, and the methods are more diverse. This has put forward higher requirements for our anti-theft and anti-leakage work, which we must have an accurate understanding of. The field of

stealing secrets is more complex and diverse. In order to gain a competitive advantage over China, foreign espionage and intelligence agencies have carried out espionage and theft in strategic emerging areas such as rare earth, photovoltaic, semiconductor, high-end chips and artificial intelligence, and tried every means to steal our core technology and sensitive data in an attempt to grasp our strategic cards. We must have a new understanding of this. The channels for

stealing secrets are even more pervasive . By means of public capture, phishing and dark net buying, foreign spy intelligence agencies wantonly collect sensitive information in key areas exposed by network platforms, realize intelligence analysis, precise penetration and targeted attacks, greatly improve the efficiency of stealing secrets, and significantly reduce the risk cost, which we must have a profound understanding of.

Hidden danger is heavy, explore the deep water area

of leak-thought paralysis, can be angry! A small number of units and personnel fail to recognize the extreme importance of confidentiality work from a political perspective, and there are still problems of "saying it is important, grasping it is secondary, and doing it is not necessary", failing to formulate confidentiality norms in time for their own business scenarios, "not paying attention to confidentiality requirements" and "not defending against potential hazards", resulting in pressure conduction. The responsibility of confidentiality is not strict. The

idea is backward and ridiculous! A small number of units and personnel unilaterally believe that confidentiality is "locking documents and managing paper", that the risk of new leaks under the condition of "network digital intelligence" is "unclear, unexpected and incomprehensible", and that they lack basic understanding of the technical processes of data acquisition, cloud synchronization and authority invocation of intelligent devices. They still use closed and outdated thinking inertia to deal with dynamic and emerging threats of hidden dangers, resulting in confidentiality work "only guarding the door and opening the four walls".

Take a chance, hateful! A small number of units and personnel do not abide by the norms for convenience, seek efficiency regardless of security, turn a blind eye to confidentiality requirements or even forget them, simplify procedures and skip key links without authorization. This practice of "seeking convenience, seeking cheap, taking shortcuts and taking shortcuts" seems to improve work efficiency, but actually disintegrates the layers of security barriers. Eventually, "minor faults" lead to "big hidden dangers". It is shameful to

sell secrets and defect! There are also very few people who have shaken their political beliefs, lost their ideals and beliefs, broken through the bottom line of discipline and law, or are willing to degenerate, defect to the enemy, or are psychologically unbalanced, blinded by greed, or have bad conduct, leaving a handle, and are turned by foreign spy intelligence agencies to "feed" hostile forces, causing serious damage to national security and interests.

Consolidate the foundation and build a security firewall

-the responsibility is like a rock, and the burden is steady step by step. The principal responsible persons of Party and government organs, enterprises, institutions and social organizations at all levels are the "first responsible persons", who should shoulder the main responsibility and grasp the daily work, embed the security and confidentiality requirements into the whole process of business work, achieve the same deployment, implementation and inspection, find problems and resolutely pursue the responsibility to the end, and truly realize the pressure transmission to the end. Form a closed loop of work with layers of responsibility and interlocking links.

Vigilance is like a torch, and faith is always clear in the chest. National security education will be deeply integrated into the publicity of law popularization, focusing on leading cadres, secret-related personnel and other groups, using case statements and story warnings to make rigid laws "live up" and promote the shift from "passive compliance" to "conscious abidance".

Science and technology cast a shield, and the iron net is tightly woven everywhere. Firmly grasp the principle of "laying equal stress on technology and management, innovative development", keep a close eye on the new leakage risks brought about by new technologies such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing and big data, promote the R & D planning, construction and operation of advanced technology prevention equipment, regularly carry out technical testing and risk assessment, and enhance the ability of risk early warning, rapid disposal and traceability. To achieve early detection, early interception, early blocking, so that science and technology can truly become the "iron wall" to protect national security. Establish rules and regulations for

behavior, stick to the bottom line and keep everything clear. Insist that confidential information should not be taken away, photographed or transmitted online, and strictly abide by confidentiality laws and regulations and the requirements of secret-related work discipline. Let the act of confidentiality become a habit, let the standardized operation become an instinct, and jointly build the people's defense line of national security.
