For what? How can long-term security of the country be achieved?
hi, Hello everyone! I am a "researcher of economic management", and today I want to share with you an interesting topic - "* If you like my articles, please remember to like and follow me!"
Since the birth of the country, it has become a topic that everyone cares about, because only when we can the personal safety and safety of ordinary people be fully guaranteed, and at the same time, personal life and work can also be guaranteed and happy. In this article, I will focus on three issues:
、What is *** and what is included?
Can intelligence agencies bring lasting security to the country?
What is the country's lasting security?
Question 1: What is *** and what is included?
It refers to the state power, sovereign unity and territorial integrity, people's well-being, sustainable economic and social development, and other major national interests in a state of relative freedom from danger and internal and external threats, as well as the ability to ensure a sustained state of security.
The basic content of contemporary security: political security, homeland security, military security, economic security, cultural security, social security, scientific and technological security, network security, ecological security, resource security, nuclear security, overseas interests security, biological security, space security, polar security, deep-sea security, etc.
In order to better understand the concept of ***, I will take the following 4 security and give 4 examples to illustrate?
The first and most important is political security.
Political security is an objective state in which a political subject is free from the encroachment and threat of various internal and external factors in terms of political awareness, political needs, political content, and political activities, and is not dangerous.
For example, the collapse of the Soviet Union was the collapse of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the Soviet power, which were the political subjects of the Soviet Union, and marked a political and security crisis for the Soviet power.
The second most important security is economic security.
Economic security refers to a country's ability to develop its economy in the way it desires according to its policies. It refers to an economic state in which a country "can eliminate and resolve potential risks in the process of economic development, resist external shocks, ensure the sustained, rapid and healthy development of the national economy, and ensure that national sovereignty is not divided."
For example, the Great Depression in the United States in 1929 and 1933, the Asian financial crisis in 1997, the ruble crisis in Russia in 1998, and the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States in 2007 are all very typical national economic security crises.
The third security is military security.
Military security is the foundation of guarantee.
Military security refers to the necessary military defense preparations carried out by a sovereign state in order to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity and effectively contain and resist aggression and subversion by foreign armed forces.
For example, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the Russian-Ukrainian war, these countries have all experienced national military security crises after the outbreak of the war.
The fourth security is biosecurity.
Biosecurity refers to the potential threats to the ecological environment and human health caused by the development and application of modern biotechnology, and a series of effective prevention and control measures taken against them.
For example, the outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia in December 2019 is a biosecurity crisis that broke out in countries around the world.
In modern society, the biggest threat to the world's major powers is the biosecurity crisis, because the big countries generally do not have economic security crises and military security crises.
The second question: Can intelligence agencies bring lasting security to the country?
Is a country safe with a strong intelligence agency? Let's take a look at a few examples of countries with strong intelligence agencies, but repeated security crises:
Israel.
On October 7, Hamas in Palestine launched a large-scale raid on Israel, which caused Israel to suffer its biggest defeat since the Yom Kippur War in 1973, and also raised serious questions about the world's famous Israeli intelligence system: the Mossad (Israeli Intelligence Service), Sinbet (Israel's Internal Security Service), and Oman (Israel's Military Intelligence Service). Why did the Israeli intelligence system have no knowledge of the Hamas's surprise attack? Why is Israeli intelligence powerless to change the situation?
United States.
The United States has the largest intelligence agencies in the world, including the Intelligence Bureau, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the State Secrets Service, the General Administration, the US Defense Intelligence Agency, the Intelligence Research Division, the Army, Navy and Air Force Intelligence Bureau, the National Reconnaissance Office, the Army Signals Intelligence Service, and the Naval Communications Secrecy Section.
Why did the United States have so many powerful intelligence agencies, but the "911" terrorist attacks still occurred?
On the morning of September 11, two hijacked civil airliners crashed into the twin towers of the World Center in New York, and the two buildings collapsed one after another after being hit, and the remaining five buildings of the World Center also collapsed and were damaged due to the earthquake. Another hijacked airliner crashed into the Pentagon of the US Department of Defense, where the structure was partially damaged and collapsed.
Why did the subprime mortgage crisis break out in 2007 when the United States has a strong economic system?
On April 2, New Century Financial Corporation, the second largest subprime mortgage lender in the United States, filed for bankruptcy protection with the court, opening the curtain on the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States. In August 2007, the subprime mortgage crisis began to sweep through the world's major financial markets, including the United States, the European Union and Japan.
Why are there frequent incidents of social violence in the United States?
According to the U.S. "Gun Violence Archive"**, a total of 44,186 people died from gun violence in the United States in 2022, of which more than 20,000 died from homicide. The United States has a strong intelligence agency and security services, why is society still so unsafe?
USSR.
The KGB, the full name of the "Soviet Union", was the intelligence agency of the Soviet Union from March 1954 to November 1991, known for its strength and cleverness, and was known as the "world's four major intelligence organizations" together with the United States Intelligence Agency, the British Intelligence Service and the Israeli Mossad.
On June 22, 1941, Germany invaded the Soviet Union, resulting in the Soviet Union sacrificing more than 26 million people.
The KGB was the main department responsible for the Soviet Union's foreign intelligence work, counter-espionage work, internal security work, and border protection, and was a "super organ" that could override the party, government, and military departments, and it was only responsible to the Politburo of the CPSU. At its peak, the KGB system had more than 500,000 personnel, including more than 10,000 in headquarters organs, more than 200,000 in espionage, counterespionage, and technical support departments, and more than 300,000 in border guards. In addition, with more than 1.5 million informants across the country and more than 250,000 spies abroad, the KGB was once called "the world's largest spy agency." But why did the KGB, as powerful as it was, still fail to prevent the collapse of the Soviet Union on December 26, 1991?
, Ming Dynasty of China.
Dongchang: The world's earliest national spy intelligence agency, in the eighteenth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1420), the East Investigation Factory (referred to as Dongchang) was established, and the eunuch commander was appointed Dan. The power is above the Jinyiwei, and he is only responsible to the emperor, and he can supervise the arrest of his subjects at will without the approval of the judicial organs, which also opens the end of eunuch interference.
West Factory: In order to strengthen the rule of spies, in the thirteenth year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty (1477), the West Investigation Factory (referred to as the West Factory) was established, and the great eunuch Wang Zhi supervised the factory affairs, and its power exceeded that of the East Factory. The main target of the attack is inside and outside Beijing**, once a certain ** is suspected, he will be arrested immediately, without the consent of the emperor in advance, and then it is torture to extract confessions. For ordinary people, as long as their words and deeds violate the interests of the ruler, they will be severely punished by Xichang.
The Ming Dynasty's East Factory and West Factory were all over the country, but they still failed to prevent the decline of the Ming Dynasty, and when the national power declined, it was overthrown by the peasant uprising led by Li Zicheng in 1644.
Chinese**.
Beginning with the counter-revolutionary coup d'état of April 12, the Kuomintang and the military unification attacked the Chinese Communists on a large scale and suppressed the rebellious ordinary people, but finally lost their dominance in China in 1949.
Conclusion: Intelligence agencies can eliminate the opposition of the country, and can eliminate foreign enemies and competitors, but this elimination is only a temporary victory, a temporary victory, can only bring a temporary victory, if the country's political, economic, scientific and technological systems and soft power have not been changed and enhanced, then competitors and enemies, and the opposition will still exist. Therefore, the elimination of opponents and enemies by intelligence agencies can only bring a temporary, short-term guarantee in terms of security, and it can only be said that it is "treating the symptoms but not the root cause"! What can really bring lasting security to the country is a strong social and natural science strength and system.
The third question: ** For what? How can the state achieve long-term security goals?
It mainly depends on the following 3 factors:
, a strong social science system and strength.
, a strong natural science system and strength.
, a strong intelligence agency system and strength.
Elaborate on it below:
, a strong social science system and strength.
Only when the social sciences are strong can the natural sciences be strong;
Only when China leads the world in basic theoretical research in social sciences can we establish a strong discourse and ideological system. The discourse system is also a productive force, and whoever masters the world discourse system is the maker and world leader of the world's rules.
The strength of social sciences can create strong humanities disciplines such as philosophy, economics, sociology, political science, literature, and education, and these disciplines can guide the country to establish a strong economic, social, political, and educational systems.
A strong economic system can enable China's economy to maintain rapid growth and prosperity for a long time, and can ensure China's financial and economic security.
A strong social system can keep society harmonious and stable for a long time, and it can also keep society very safe; A strong education system can enable China to always maintain the world's first place in education and science and technology;
A strong political system can achieve the goals of harmonious governance, clean and upright conduct, smooth government decrees, and governance for the people, and at the same time ensure the long-term stability and security of the political system and ideology.
, a strong natural science system and strength.
In addition to the security of the economic system, the national economic security is more important than the security of science and technology and industry, and the security of science and technology and industry are mainly due to the strength of natural science research;
Biosafety mainly comes from the strength of basic theoretical research in natural sciences such as biology, medicine, and chemistry; National defense and security mainly come from the strength of military science and technology, and the strength of military science and technology also depends on the research strength of natural sciences.
Information security, especially chip security, also depends on the strength of natural sciences, such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, computers, etc.
Biosecurity, for example: the new crown epidemic broke out in 2019 across the country, even if China's intelligence agencies knew about it first, it was useless at all! Because no matter how strong your intelligence structure is, you can't eradicate the coronavirus. But if China's biotech is so strong that Chinese biotech experts can work out its drugs or find a way to deal with it, then the biosecurity crisis caused by the pandemic will be resolved immediately.
Conclusion: Without a strong natural science system, there will be no economic security for China.
, a strong intelligence agency system and strength.
The main role of the intelligence agencies:
An agency responsible for gathering intelligence on other countries. It is the most important responsibility of intelligence agencies to collect intelligence and data on specific situations including the territory, military, and economy, and to provide information and data support for national decision-making. This is the era of globalization, and economic and military competition between countries is carried out on a global scale. If our country does not know about foreign information and data, how can we compete fiercely with others? How do we ensure the country's economic security?
The intelligence agencies are mainly engaged in the investigation of foreign intelligence, subversion, assassination, and other terrorist activities. Intelligence agencies are active in preventing the assassination of important national figures or the destruction of vital resources. It is also an important duty of the intelligence agencies of major countries to actively combat the threat of hostile forces or hostile intelligence agencies. Because military wars generally do not break out between major powers, the most common opponents and enemies are the most powerful soft power struggles and foreign intelligence agencies.
Conclusion: It can only come from a strong system and strength in the social and natural sciences, and not just from intelligence agencies. If the country's political, economic, social, educational and other systems and soft power are not strong enough, even if there are strong intelligence agencies, it is impossible to bring lasting security and maximum security to the country. China needs excellent intelligence agencies, but it also needs a strong social and natural science system and strength.
