Where should biosafety be included in the national security system?

From the perspective of protecting people's health, safeguarding national security and maintaining the long-term stability of the country, biosafety should be incorporated into the national security system, and the national biosafety risk prevention and control system should be systematically planned to comprehensively enhance the national biosafety governance capacity.

This exposition enriches the content elements of the national security system, perfects the top-level design of the national security system, and also clarifies the path of maintaining national biosafety. Public health safety is a part of biological safety. Bringing biosafety into the national security system is to raise the public health safety event of the new crown pneumonia epidemic to the height of biosafety and national security.

We will integrate the prevention and control of major emerging infectious diseases with the application of biotechnology security, laboratory biosafety, biological resources and human genetic resources security, prevention of alien species invasion and protection of biodiversity, bioterrorism attacks, and defense against the threat of biological weapons, so as to enhance the national security governance capacity and level.

The general secretary put forward the concept of "biosafety" and incorporated it into the national security system, which is not only a response to social concerns, but also of great significance to improving people's national security awareness.

Extended data:

Clearly incorporating biosafety into the national security system will help to form policies and paths to ensure national biosafety. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, with the continuous enrichment and development of national security strategy, national security rule of law and national security governance, we have initially constructed the main framework of the national security system.

The war against COVID-19 epidemic will certainly promote the further reflection and improvement of China's public health security system, especially in the disease prevention and control system, public health service system, major epidemic prevention and control system, leadership and command system, major epidemic treatment system, emergency material guarantee system, national reserve system and emergency material procurement and supply system.

Gradually build a biosafety leadership (decision-making) system, a biosafety organization and coordination system, a biosafety risk prevention and control system, a biosafety supervision system and a biosafety legal system, continuously improve the biosafety governance system, and comprehensively enhance the national biosafety governance capacity.
