This year marks the 7th anniversary of the promulgation and implementation of the "Counter Espionage Law of the People's Republic of China."
The anti-espionage law is an important part of China's national security legal system.
In the past seven years, the national security legal system led by the National Security Law has been gradually improved, including the Anti-Terrorism Law, the Domestic Activity Management Law of Foreign NGOs, the Cyber Security Law, the Nuclear Security Law, the Biosecurity Law, and the Data Security Law. Laws have been promulgated one after another, providing a solid legal guarantee for safeguarding national security in various fields.
With the continuous improvement of our country’s comprehensive national strength, foreign spy agencies and other forces endangering our national security are no longer confined to traditional fields. The situation of enemies in non-traditional security fields is becoming more and more prominent, bringing the steady development of our country’s economic and social security. Hidden risks.
In recent years, the national security organs have insisted on taking the overall national security concept as a guide, coordinating traditional and non-traditional security, and successively cracked a large number of key cases in non-traditional fields, eliminating many actual and potential harms.
In June 2019, the national security agency received reports from the masses, reflecting that a marine public welfare organization set up marine monitoring points in our territory to collect marine monitoring data.
The person in charge of the organization stated to the relevant personnel at each monitoring point that all monitoring data are officially collected and used. In the name of the data required by the relevant state departments, monitoring points are required to report "monitoring data" to the organization every two months via the Internet.
However, the national security agency verified that the relevant departments had never received the data and information provided by the relevant organizations.
Accordingly, the national security agency launched an investigation into the relevant situation.
An investigation by the national security agency found that the organization has a complicated overseas background. Since 2014, it has continued to receive funding from more than 20 overseas institutions.
In just over a year from 2018 to 2019, it received more than 2 million yuan of overseas funds, of which only one fund was filed with the relevant authorities.
According to the process established by an overseas research institution, the organization set up marine garbage monitoring points in our coastal areas to collect information on the types, weight, and distribution density of garbage, and form and publish China's marine garbage maps and research reports.
In the garbage monitoring report released by the organization, it was declared that "the quantity and weight density of garbage detected are 20 times and 8 times that of China's official data."
These data are used by people abroad with ulterior motives to discredit and hype up my environmental protection issues and have a negative impact on my international image.
According to the investigation, the monitoring points established by the organization in China from 2015 to before being legally disposed of have basically covered China’s north-south coastline and radiated China’s South China Sea, East China Sea, Yellow Sea, and Bohai Sea.
At the same time, the 22 military-related monitoring points established by the organization have posed a real threat to our maritime military security.
The information it collects on latitude and longitude, environment, geology, ocean flow, etc., can easily be used by foreign intelligence and military agencies, posing a potential threat to China.
According to the provisions of Article 13 and Article 39 of the Anti-espionage Law, the national security agency ordered the organization to carry out rectification and shut down 22 military-related monitoring points to eliminate adverse effects.
In accordance with the provisions of Article 36 and Article 39 of the Anti-espionage Law and Article 19 and Article 25 of the Implementation Rules of the Anti-espionage Law, the organization was given a "confiscation of illegal income" and "warning" punishment.
Relevant experts told reporters from the "Rule of Law Daily" that in the era of information-based big data, the use, processing and transmission of data has already entered people’s work and life. Data applications have brought great convenience to industry development, enterprise production, and people’s work and life. , The security problems caused by data leaks are becoming more and more prominent.
In recent years, the basic data of various industries and important enterprises in our country have been the coveted targets of foreign spy intelligence agencies. If all sectors of society and the people are not vigilant about this, they are unknowingly used to allow these data to leak abroad. Accumulation to a certain level and comprehensive analysis can reflect important conditions such as China's economic operation, national defense and military, and will cause major harm to China's national security in various fields.
