With China's reform and opening up and the end of the international cold war era, China's "leaking secrets" have occurred frequently, but the main flow has shifted to the economic field. It's just that China's "secrecy work" has not adapted to this transition period, so there are many omissions in economic information, and there is no secrecy to protect.
1981On September 20th, China launched three artificial satellites by a carrier rocket for the first time. The brief report of Xinhua News Agency is vague. The international reaction is explosive, because it probably indicates that the mainland has mastered the high technology of "multi-warhead re-entry". Military attaché s in China were ordered to inquire detailed information and materials from China officials and all possible channels. China officials kept their mouths shut, of course, but they never imagined that only three days after the launch of the satellite, a radio station in Beijing broadcast a broadcast entitled "The Mystery of Space Won the Crown". The next day, a newspaper in Beijing simply published a report about China's ninth artificial satellite, with photos of three satellites assembled in the workshop. Both the first draft and the second draft reported the orbits, radio telemetry frequencies and so on of these three space objects.
If foreign intelligence agencies get the treasure, everyone will be very happy. China's military department was shocked. At first glance, it turned out to be the "masterpiece" of an engineer in a certain department. The man didn't ask for instructions. The manuscript was written before the rocket was launched. After the satellite was launched, it was transmitted to radio stations and newspapers, and he lied that it had been "submitted for trial". The man suffered enough for his ambition and was severely punished by his boss.
China's "two-step fermentation to produce vitamin C" has passed the appraisal and is a major national scientific and technological invention. It is a scientific achievement with huge human demand and extremely broad prospects. Switzerland and the United States, two major industrial countries in the world, will bid for this technology patent. Unexpectedly, a week later, the representatives of the two countries, blushing and thick-necked, returned to their hometown with joy. It turns out that this patent is so cheap that it is only worth the price of a magazine. A magazine will publish all the development process, details, formula and dosage. If you know a little about chemistry, just go back and cook according to the spectrum. It's really easy to get.
At an international sericulture academic conference, the Japanese did their best to be the host, and our country was flattered by the high specifications. It turns out that the Chinese side will tell the original prescription, application method and even the origin of the disease in the academic report, and the Japanese side is just a thank you.
There is a radio monitoring room in an independent building in Japan, which monitors and records the broadcast programs of the central and local provinces and cities in the mainland 24 hours a day, and immediately arranges and files them.
In the early 1960s, the Japanese sensitively found in People's Daily that the air bag on the bus in Beijing was missing. This shows that the gasoline shortage in China has been alleviated. Soon, People's Daily published another photo of Wang Jinxi, an iron man, carrying drilling rig parts in the snow. The stop sign of the railway station is called "Sarthou". Japan can't find the name of this place after searching the map, but they are good at analysis. To lift the driller to the well, the oil field must be not far from the railway station. They estimated section by section along the railway line in China (the area where heavy snow may fall), and accurately inferred the barren area of Daqing Oilfield in Songnen Plain of Northeast China.
Then the Japanese predicted that the mainland needs to import technology and facilities to develop this oil field. It is difficult to transport crude oil in the alpine region, so it is necessary to refine and import this equipment locally. Facts have proved that the Japanese not only think earlier than the West, but even think earlier than the China people themselves. As a result, four years later, China bid for a complete set of oil refining equipment from abroad, and other countries bid without knowing anything, but a Japanese company won the bid easily.
By the time of China's reform and opening-up, Japanese intelligence personnel were more like hounds sneaking into our country to spy around. For many years, China has been deeply studying a certain kind of flower element for treating hemiplegia, and has made breakthrough progress. At the invitation of Japan, a university teacher who participated in "tackling key problems" happily went to Japan to study.
Japanese steel giants come to China to promote steel products. China's foreign trade personnel casually told us that China would import a large number of steel products, but the Japanese side used this as an excuse to suspend the negotiations. Subsequently, China colluded with several major western steel exporting countries to raise prices substantially, which caused great losses to China.
China Xuan Paper has the reputation of "Millennium Life Paper" and "King of Paper", especially in Jingxian County, Xuanzhou, Anhui Province. The Japanese have coveted this mystery for a long time. They once sent intelligence personnel to Xuanzhou to wander around. Later, they found this marked car in Jingxian Xuan Paper Factory, and this car followed them. But this time it hit a wall, Jingxian Factory refused to visit, and later ordered that all the signs of the factory and cars be brushed off. However, the next year, another group of Japanese went to a county in Zhejiang, where a paper mill warmly entertained them and answered questions. Even the details such as the alkali concentration of cooking materials can't be finished. When they left, they gave sandalwood bark, long grass pulp and carambola, which were established with the support of Jingxian County. Since then, the Japanese people proudly announced that the world's rice paper ranked first in Jingxian County, Anhui Province, second in Japan, third in Zhejiang Province and fourth in Taiwan Province Province.
When the Japanese visited the cloisonne factory, China generously allowed them to film the whole production process. Within two years, cloisonne, the traditional export product of the mainland, plummeted because Japanese goods were killed.
China soybean has always monopolized the world market. The deterioration of soybean varieties has greatly affected the United States. Sino-American relations thawed in the 1970s. China donated wild soybean seeds to the United States for free. Twenty years later, China has become insignificant in the soybean market, and the monopolist is the United States. Parker fountain pen in the United States is the first brand, but China's "Hero" and "Venus" also have a single leading technology, that is, the polishing technology of stainless steel pen cover. Two vice presidents of Parker Company came to China, and they were surprised to find that the manufacturers in China were completely open to the outside world. They took a camera and took a full set of videos of the structure and operation of the polishing machine in full view.
Leading cadres in a certain place made irresponsible remarks, and the improved Meishan pig was sent to France for breeding, which shortened the research on pig breeding improvement in France for 20 years. At the same time, Americans feel aggrieved. They spent a lot of money to buy the same kind of pigs from China.
What's more, the agricultural research institute of a small city took the initiative to send the dwarf wheat variety Aiyuan 1 to Japan. There is also the worldwide "asparagus" craze in recent years, and many countries come to China to negotiate acquisitions. China will send the varieties that are prohibited from exporting by countries such as Leaky Reed and Li Wei as "samples". Nowadays, our country is left out in the cold.
Cystine produced in China is the "fist product" to earn foreign exchange. However, a factory has received several customers, explained in detail, and allowed to take photos and videos. The core secret of cystine has almost become information that can be obtained for free, and now this chemical product has also become "licensed".
The disclosure of trade secrets has brought huge losses to China's economy and learned a painful lesson.
