Development Of Military Biotechnology And Strategic Study Of Military Bio-security

Since the beginning of the21st century, the boom of modern bio-science andbiological industry has greatly influenced the national economy, development, innovationand bio-security. The biological science reveals the rules and features of life from the microperspective. It gradually deepens and enhances the human cognition, at the same time,transform the biological microscopic structure, and function artificially. It is of vitalmilitary potential and value. Besides, it presents new challenges to traditional nationalsecurityAccording to the trend of military development in past, competitions in military fieldare always driven by new interest resources, new space field and new technological means.Then human could achieve the improvements in military field. Biotechnology created newlife information resources, new micro-spaces as well as new biological control technology,which involves the core military interests like the national genetic code and the key offunctional regulation, opens up a new fight for territory, and could be used in military fieldto fight and defense directly,with ultra,precise, non-lethel and recoverable cambatadvantages，that is,it can goes into the micro field without deadly damage and organicdamage, even recovers completely through gene transformation and medicine, therefore itappears to be more mercy than the traditional weapons and bio-battles. Application ofbio-science and biological in military will can breach the bottlenecks theoretically, liketarget generalization, high consumption and low efficiency of the combat, the limitations ofnon-lethal weapons, huge weapons systems and so on. It also brings practical feasibility forscience and sustainable development of military theory. It, undoubtedly have a positiveeffect for promoting the war civilization. All of these are fully in line with the expandinglaw of military interests, and bound to penetrate in the military field strongly..Military biotechnology is entirely feasible in theory in repair, maintenance, andupgrade of fighting strength, as well as the formation of actual combat power. Many of them have already entered the stage of practical application, and shown the strong technicaladvantage, even very likely to become the dominant technology in future military field. Itwill produce a comprehensive and profound impact on the military theory, decision-makingand command, offensive and defensive means, damage concept, as well as medical support.In fact, seizing the commanding heights of Military biotechnology have already beenconsidered as important means by most developed countries to develop their military andkeep leading in military reform. They speed up the pace of development and application.Consequently, the researches of anti-personnel and anti-equipment biotechnology weaponshave become the hotspot. On the other side, modern bioscience is also a double-edgedsword. Military biotechnology brings new military interests, battle space, and injurymechanism to us, which is bound to increase new destabilizing factors of the currentmilitary security. It promotes the development of the war civilization by theory and practice,at the same time, challenges human life and living environment seriously, which relatesdirectly to human survival safety bottom line, and should be given sufficient attentions.Thus, we should carefully think about the military biotechnology security problems. Wecan’t control war law, but we can make full preparation for security defense. Therefore, wewould think and make decisions prudently in the new safety competition, and seek for along-term defense mechanism of military biological security from the perspective ofstrategic research.Military bio-security means the avoidance from the side-effect of the research,application and other biological factors used in the modern military field. It includes fourpoints. The first one, is there a threat to the state and the people by military biologicalfactors? The second, whether the nation is of military bio-security capacity which is thesum of military potential economic potential, political potential and the scientific potentialin the biological field of national security protection? Third, Military bio-safety issues neednot only to put great emphasis on the security problems caused by the military use ofbiotechnology in the future, but also the problems caused by traditional biological weapons.Four, Military biological safety problem refers to safety problems produced by biologicalfactors in military use, but not all security problems. Its main task is to solve the safetyproblems brought by military biological technology, and protect the national non-traditionalbiological safety effectively. The present article is the first to put forward the military bio-security strategysystematically, which does not focus on the current safety issues; rather, it constructs themilitary bio-security on the basis of the profound exploration of future safety environment,concept, connotation and feasibility of military biology safety. The countermeasures ofmilitary bio-security of China have been thought, the knowledge renewed, the system andthe precaution defense established from the concepts, ideas and approaches in the article.
