According to the statement made by the China Media Group, the responsibles of the US and UK intelligence agencies recently made a joint statement claiming that China has stolen the science and technology achievements of the Western countries and that China is the "biggest permanent threat" for all the countries of the world. he did. These officials also tried to separate the businesses of Western countries from China. This joint statement, which shows the deep-rooted Cold War mentality and ideological biases of the USA and the UK, is an indicator of typical “technology terror”. This joint statement, which makes baseless and unfounded accusations against China, aims to provoke the "Chinese threat", "Chinese phobia" and international conflict in the international community.
As it is known, the USA is the world famous "cyber attack empire", "secret information stealing empire". Historically, the United States has captured other countries' intellectual property rights and science and technology results through hideous means such as espionage, forced immigration, patent monopoly. After the Second World War, the USA, in line with the plan called “Operation Paperclip”, plundered Germany's advanced flight vehicles and missile technologies and forced German scientists to immigrate to the USA. In the 90s of the last century, the US intelligence agencies put wiretapping device in the Japanese automotive representative's official vehicle, captured the confidential information of the Japanese side and maintained its superiority in the negotiations with Japan. In 2013, the US Department of Justice detained four executives of France's Alston Company and forced Alston Company to sell critical technology information about the electrical network to GE Company of the USA at a low price. According to the news in the Danish press in 2021, the US National Security Agency conducted a wiretapping operation in Denmark, through internet facilities, to the phone calls of businessmen and leaders of European countries. In order to prevent the weakening of the chip industry in its home country, the USA has forced the world's leading chip manufacturers to deliver their critical commercial secrecy, such as an order, within the required time. The US plundering the science and technology results of other countries is a kind of new terrorism and it brings huge harm to all countries of the world.
What's even worse is that the US, on the one hand, plunders the science and technology results of other countries by using secret methods to protect its own technology hegemony, and on the other hand, it openly bullies other countries. The USA, under the guise of "national security", tried to put huge obstacles to the development of high-tech enterprises of other countries. For example, the US has included more than a thousand high-tech companies with global competitive capacity from China, including the global telecommunications giant Huawei, on various sanctions lists. In fact, at the request of the USA, the Canadian administration illegally detained Huawei's chief financial officer for about three years. The US has increased technology transfer control and export restriction in advanced sectors such as biological technology, artificial intelligence. On the other hand, the US tried to impose sanctions on cotton, tomato and photovoltaic products in China's Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region by fabricating the so-called "forced labor" claim under the guise of human rights. This US conspiracy, mainly aimed at hindering China's development, has seriously damaged the global trade order and destabilized global industry and supply chains. Today, the international community has clearly understood which country is a permanent threat to the world.
China, on the other hand, attaches great importance to development based on its own capacity in the science and technology sector. China is the largest global innovation country and always ranks first in the world in terms of spending on innovation. In 2021, China's R&D expenditure in the field of science and technology increased by 14.2 percent, exceeding 2.7 trillion yuan, and the number of approved inventions and patents exceeded 696. According to the report prepared by the World Intellectual Property Organization, China's national innovation capacity in 2021 has risen from 35th to 12th in the world. In addition, the number of patents applied by Chinese citizens in foreign countries reached 69. In this respect, China has kept its place in the first place in the world for 500 consecutive years. In recent years, China has actively participated in global science and technology innovation efforts, and its scientific exchanges with countries on the China "Belt and Road" route have yielded visible fruits. China has accelerated the process of accession to The Hague Treaty and the Treaty of Marrakech, making a significant contribution to strengthening global governance of intellectual property rights. Especially against the pressures and bullying attempts of Western countries such as the USA in the field of science and technology, China has never bowed down and has achieved great success in various fields such as space studies.
The world economy is a whole in which countries are closely interconnected. US attempts to politicize science and technology issues, waving the “tech terror stick” wildly, do nothing but cause serious damage to global industry and supply chains. The International Monetary Fund estimates that scientific and technical divergence will result in 5 percent loss in GDP for many countries. Senior executives of many US businesses, on the other hand, argued that the restrictions imposed by the US on other countries in the fields of science and technology could eventually weaken the leading and advantageous position of the US. The US's "technology terror" initiatives will not receive support from the international community and will eventually shoot themselves in the foot with a bullet.
