加快推进生物安全能力建设，全力保障国家生物安全

生物安全是国家安全体系的重要组成部分,关乎人民生命健康、国家长治久安、民族永续发展,是必争必保的底线。当前,国际生物安全形势严峻复杂,国内生物安全持续面临挑战。生物安全能力建设成为国际的热点,其中科技创新、人才培养、基础平台建设更是重中之重。在抗击新型冠状病毒感染中,我国虽然依靠科技支撑在病原微生物的快速鉴定、疫苗和药物研发等方面取得了系列重大成果,但也暴露了我国在生物安全科技创新领域的短板弱项。根据党的二十大作出的“推进国家安全体系和能力现代化,坚决维护国家安全和社会稳定”战略部署,我国应通过加快完善科技前沿布局、推进学科建设、加大专项人才培养、完善基础平台和生物安全领域全国重点实验室建设,进一步提升生物安全能力建设,完善我国生物安全体系,筑牢国家生物安全屏障,实现保护人民健康,保障国家安全,维护国家长治久安的重大目标。

Accelerating Biosafety Capacity Building to Ensure National Biosecurity

Biosafety is an essential part of the national security system, which is related to people''s lives and health, the country''s longterm stability, and sustainable development, which is the bottom line that must be guaranteed. The international biosafety situation is grim and complex, while domestic biosafety faces challenges. Therefore, biosafety capacity building has become an international hot spot, among which scientific and technological innovation, talent training, and infrastructure platform construction are the top priorities. Although China has achieved strategic results in the rapid identification of pathogens, research, and development of specific vaccines and medicine in fighting against COVID-19 by relying on scientific research, it has shown the urgency for scientific and technological innovation in biosafety. Therefore, China has developed a strategic plan on "promoting the modernization of the national security system and capabilities, resolutely safeguarding national security and social stability" included in the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. Hence, it is suggested to promote biosafety capacity building further to improve China''s biosecurity system, protect people''s health, ensure national security, and maintain long-term peace and stability by improving the layout of scientific and technological frontiers, promoting the construction of biosafety discipline, training of more special talents, and infrastructure platform construction.
