Cyber ​​attacks are omnipotent. Why is the United States eyeing "Western Polytechnic University"?

Incognito for the country cast sword

Why is "Western University of Technology"

　　Our reporter Chai Yaxin Li Yunshu 

　　On September 5, the National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center and 360 Company respectively released investigation reports on the overseas cyber attack on Northwestern Polytechnical University.

The investigation found that the Special Intrusion Operations Office (TAO) under the National Security Agency (NSA) used more than 40 different exclusive network attack weapons to continuously attack Northwestern Polytechnical University and steal the school's key network equipment configuration and network management data. , operation and maintenance data and other core technical data.

　　The investigation report uncovered the hypocrisy of the "Matrix", and it also attracted the attention of Northwestern Polytechnical University for a while: Why is the United States eyeing this university in the Northwest?

Cyber ​​attacks are omnipotent. What is the intention of the United States?

　　Rooted in the northwest and casting swords for the country, NPU has created many distinctive "firsts" in the history of New China

　　Northwestern Polytechnical University (hereinafter referred to as "Western University of Technology") is located in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province. It is affiliated to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. It is a key university engaged in aviation, aerospace, and marine engineering education and scientific research in my country. Talents, undertake a number of national key scientific research projects.

　　Walking into the Chang'an campus of the main campus of NPU, which is backed by Qinling Mountains, a huge sculpture attracts the attention: a man with his head lowered, holding a sharp sword in both hands - this is the famous "casting a sword for the country, Incognito" sculpture, condensing the spirit of the establishment of NPU.

　　In July 1937, a gunshot rang out at Lugou Bridge, Japan launched a full-scale war of aggression against China, and North China and other places quickly fell.

In order to escape the war and maintain the power of higher education in China, many colleges and universities in North China, East China and Northeast China have formed joint schools and moved to the rear.

Among them, the "Southwest Associated University" established by Tsinghua University, Peking University, and Nankai University moved south to Changsha and Kunming is well known to the world.

　　At the same time, some colleges and universities chose to move westward and formed the "Northwest Associated University".

National Peiping University, National Peiping Normal University, National Beiyang Institute of Technology, and Peiping Research Institute moved to Xi'an to form Xi'an Temporary University, and then moved to Hanzhong, Shaanxi, and soon changed its name to National Northwest Associated University.

In July 1938, the National Northwest Associated University was reorganized into five independent national universities, namely the National Northwestern University, the National Northwest Institute of Technology, the National Northwest Teachers College, the National Northwest Agricultural College and the National Northwestern Medical College, which was the predecessor of the Northwestern Polytechnical University.

　　In 1946, the National Northwest Institute of Technology moved to Xianyang, and was renamed Northwest Institute of Technology after the founding of New China.

In 1952, the Department of Aeronautical Engineering of Jiaotong University, Nanjing University and Zhejiang University established the East China Aviation College in Nanjing.

In order to meet the needs of the construction of the new China, East China Aviation College changed its name to Xi'an Aviation College after "moving westward".

In 1957, Northwestern Polytechnical University and Xi'an Aviation College merged to form Northwestern Polytechnical University.

In 1970, the Aeronautical Engineering Department of Harbin Institute of Technology was integrated into Northwestern Polytechnical University as a whole.

　　Looking back at the history of the founding of NPU, this war-torn university has been relocated, renamed and reorganized several times, but what remains unchanged is the national background of serving the country with science and technology.

　　During the "Northwest Associated University" period, the students actively participated in the anti-Japanese national salvation activities. In addition to regularly going to the countryside for publicity, donating money and materials for front-line soldiers, they also used the native products of the Northwest to develop various chemical products urgently needed in war and life.

After the reorganization of five colleges and universities, Northwest Institute of Technology and Northwest University jointly established the Northwest Scientific Research Office to engage in Northwest Development Research; and organized Northwest Scientific Expeditions to visit Gan, Ning, Qing, Xin, Inner Mongolia and other places.

　　In 1961, Northwestern Polytechnical University was placed under the management of the National Defense Science and Technology Committee of the Ministry of National Defense and was identified as a national defense industry college. Therefore, it was also affectionately called one of the "Seven Children of National Defense".

NPU has created many "firsts" with distinctive national defense characteristics in the history of New China, the country's first small unmanned aerial vehicle, the first ground effect aircraft, the first 50kg underwater unmanned intelligent vehicle and the first All aviation onboard computers were born in NPU.

Historically, the country's first doctor of engineering in six disciplines, including foundry, aerospace manufacturing engineering, flight mechanics, aeroengine, and rocket engine, was cultivated by NPU.

　　As a national key university with engineering education and scientific research on the "three aviation" of aviation, aerospace and navigation, NPU has cultivated a large number of talents for my country's "three aviation" cause, providing independent, safe and controllable key core technologies in the field of national defense and the construction of the western region. Strong support.

　　In the field of aerospace, NPU has focused on space projects such as manned spaceflight and lunar exploration, and the development of Shenzhou series spacecraft. It is one of the two universities that "contribute to China's first manned space flight"; The chief engineer and deputy chief engineer of major models are alumni of NPU, and NPU is also known as the "cradle of chief teachers" by the society; in the field of navigation, a large number of alumni of NPU are also active in important management positions and core technical positions in the shipbuilding industry and underwater weapons industry. ...

　　According to incomplete statistics, among the more than 200,000 graduates sent by NPU for the development of national defense science and technology and the construction of the national economy, 65 generals of the Republic, 48 academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and 6 top ten outstanding young people in China have emerged.

　　NPU has strong strength in scientific research, and its technical level is ahead of the United States in some aspects, which makes it a thorn in the flesh and a thorn in the eyes of the United States.

　　On July 4, a piece of news came from Western University of Technology: The "Feitian No. 1" rocket ramjet combined power developed by the Aerospace Combined Power Innovation Team of the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics of the school was successfully launched at a base in Northwest China. It is the first time in the world that a kerosene-fueled rocket has been verified. The ramjet combined cycle engine rocket/sub-combustion, sub-combustion, scramjet, rocket/supercombustion multi-mode smooth transition and wide-area comprehensive capability, breaking through key technologies such as thermal throat regulation, ultra-wide envelope efficient combustion organization, flight The test was a complete success.

　　Northwestern Polytechnical University has strong strength in scientific research, and its technical level is ahead of the United States in some aspects, which makes it a thorn in the flesh and a thorn in the eyes of the United States.

In order to grasp every move of this university and obtain relevant technological research and development progress and core secrets, the United States once again exposed the true colors of the "Matrix" and "Secret Stealing Empire".

　　The investigation report on the overseas cyber attack on NPU shows that the US National Security Agency has made preparations for a long time and carefully disguised it in order to hide its cyber attacks on Chinese information networks such as NPU.

　　It’s worth noting that cyberattacks are just one of America’s underhanded tactics.

Under the guise of so-called "national security", the United States frequently wields the stick of sanctions against China, including Chinese enterprises, institutions, and universities in the "entity list", including Western University of Technology.

　　The left hand launches cyber attacks to steal information, and the right hand conducts unprovoked suppression to hinder development.

In recent years, the U.S. government has continued to "undermine" Chinese scientific research institutions, scientific research centers, and technology companies, and its actions have become more and more crazy.

　　According to a report by Bloomberg on September 2, the Biden administration is considering new measures to limit U.S. investment in Chinese technology companies.

　　"The U.S. generalizes the concept of national security and artificially sets up obstacles to Sino-U.S. economic and technological exchanges and scientific and technological exchanges, which runs counter to the principles of market economy and international economic and trade rules. "On September 5, Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning emphasized at a regular press conference that science and technology should benefit all mankind and should not be used as a means of restricting or containing the development of other countries.

　　According to statistics, from March 2018 to December 2021, the U.S. government and its functional departments included more than 600 Chinese companies, institutions and individuals on the "entity list" for export control.

On August 23 this year, the U.S. Department of Commerce once again included seven Chinese entities on the "entity list" for export control, citing national security and foreign policy issues.

　　The United States regards China's technological progress as a threat to challenge, and attempts to maintain its "technology hegemony" by suppressing China

　　"In recent years, with the enhancement of China's comprehensive national strength, the idea of ​​'technological nationalism' that specifically curbs the development of China's science and technology has been rampant in the United States." Xiao Junyong, a professor at Beijing Institute of Technology Law School, told reporters that the United States' policy of curbing China's science and technology aims to curb China's scientific and technological development. Chinese technology is restricted, including import and export controls, inbound and outbound investment restrictions, licensing systems for telecommunications and electronic products, visa bans, financial sanctions, etc.

　　Why is the United States so obsessed with using state power to suppress and contain Chinese technology companies and institutions?

The background is the rapid progress of China's science and technology.

　　In the past ten years, my country's basic research funding has tripled, and the number of domestic invention patents and PCT international applications has jumped to the first place in the world.

The total number of R&D personnel in China has ranked first in the world for 9 consecutive years.

On August 9, the latest report released by the Institute of Science, Technology and Academic Policy of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan stated that the three major indicators of Chinese scientific papers ranked first in the world, surpassing the United States in both quantity and quality.

What makes the United States even more "on pins and needles" is China's rapid catch-up in the field of information and communication technology manufacturing.

　　In December 2021, a report published by the Belfer Center of Harvard University in the United States pointed out that China has become the world's first in certain fields in artificial intelligence, 5G communication, quantum technology and other technologies. Some areas may also surpass the United States.

　　The United States regards China's scientific and technological progress as a challenge and threat, and continues to abuse domestic laws to suppress China's cutting-edge technology industry, in an attempt to maintain its "scientific and technological hegemony" by suppressing China, seeking privileged monopoly and huge wealth.

　　"Rendering 'technological nationalism' is not only the core of the US global strategy, but also the basis for supporting other US hegemony." Xiao Junyong said that in recent years, the US government has frequently launched various types of technological containment measures aimed at China and other emerging economies. The hegemonic move in the guise of law has already had a bad impact on global technological cooperation and supply chain layout, making the global technological "gap" not only failed to bridge, but rather growing.

　　Scientific and technological achievements should benefit all mankind, and should not be used to "stumbling blocks" for the development of other countries

　　"Prism Project", "Angel Project", "Starbreeze Project", "Strength Project", "Upstream Project", "Operation Telescreen"... With the exposure of scandals one after another, while causing international public outcry, the United States maintains its network Hegemonic ambitions are also exposed.

　　"In order to consolidate its global hegemony, the United States uses its advantages in technological resources, often under the guise of 'national security' and 'human rights protection', and claims to be the 'network guardian' and 'human rights defender' of the international community. But in fact, the United States has never We have stopped indiscriminate monitoring, theft and attacks on governments, enterprises, and individuals of other countries." Xiao Junyong said.

　　Although the US technology hegemony strategy focuses on targeting Chinese technology companies, while suppressing Chinese companies, once it finds that any country or region, including its allies, has an impact on its hegemony, it will also strike mercilessly.

　　"In 2021, the U.S. Department of Commerce forced Samsung, TSMC and other major chip manufacturers to provide chip business data on the grounds of improving the transparency of the chip supply chain, and several companies eventually had no choice but to give in." Xiao Junyong said that this kind of technology hegemony does whatever he wants. , has alerted many countries that have been enslaved by its technology.

　　In the face of the US government's frequent repressive measures that are harmful to others and not oneself, how should my country respond?

Several experts said that China, as the world's second largest economy, embarked on the road of independent research and development is an inevitable trend.

　　Core technology, key technology, and alms cannot come, and you have to work hard on your own.

In the outline of the "14th Five-Year Plan", a set of "combination punches" has been launched around the realization of self-reliance and self-improvement in science and technology - formulating and implementing a ten-year action plan for basic research, focusing on the layout of a number of basic discipline research centers; strengthening national strategic scientific and technological strength, improving Under the conditions of the socialist market economy, a new national system will be established, and the key and core technologies will be fought well;

　　"In the context of global economic integration, even if the United States launches a 'technological cold war' and adopts various monopoly and pressure actions, it is impossible for China to 'derail' global trade." Some experts said that facing the challenge of "stuck neck" , China still needs to pay attention to domestic scientific research achievements, increase investment in scientific research, and stimulate the enthusiasm of Chinese enterprises, so that the cutting-edge technology industry is no longer passive, so that it can "break the game" as soon as possible.

　　The more we face the blockade and suppression, the more we should not pursue self-isolation and self-isolation. Instead, we must implement a more open, inclusive, mutually beneficial and shared international science and technology cooperation strategy.

"At present, China has established scientific and technological cooperation relations with more than 160 countries and regions, and participated in more than 200 international organizations and multilateral mechanisms." Xiao Junyong believes that China has established a sense of community with a shared future for mankind, and has deeply participated in global scientific and technological innovation governance. The contribution rate of scientific and technological innovation has increased significantly, and it is becoming an increasingly important pole in the global innovation landscape.

　　The openness and cooperation of science and technology should be upright and open, not the "little tricks" of eavesdropping; the scientific and technological achievements should benefit all mankind, and should not be used to "encounter" the development of other countries.

U.S. cyber-attacks and other criminal acts are destined to be discovered and exposed, and all kinds of anti-epoch actions to implement cyber hegemony will be rejected and countered by the international community.

History has proven time and time again that containment and suppression are doomed to be futile, and any attempt to get stuck in China's neck will only accelerate China's progress and development.
