——反间防谍针对的是从事间谍行为的机构、组织和人员。近年来，境外间谍情报机关对我渗透窃密活动明显加剧，手段更加多样，手法更加隐蔽，目标更加多元，领域更加宽广，情报窃密无孔不入。我国反间谍工作实行积极防御的方针，目的是防御，防范打击危害我国家安全的各种间谍活动，严厉打击敌对势力渗透、破坏、颠覆、分裂活动，不会对他国其他合法组织进行打击、压制。《反间谍法》保护的是绝大多数人员的合法权益，打击的是极少数从事危害我国国家安全间谍行为的组织、机构、人员。只要不是接受境外间谍组织及其代理人的指使，没有实施刺探、窃取、收买、非法提供国家秘密、情报等行为，就不会被认定为间谍行为。依照《反间谍法》开展反间防谍工作，能够更好统筹发展和安全，持续营造健康稳定的良好发展环境。

  ——Counterespionage efforts target organizations, groups, and individuals involved in espionage activities. In recent years, foreign intelligence agencies have intensified their infiltration and espionage activities against China, employing increasingly diversified methods and covert tactics onto broader targets in multiple domains under intelligence theft operations. China’s counterespionage approach follows the principle of active defense, with the fundamental purpose of safeguarding national security by preventing and combating all forms of espionage activities while resolutely opposing infiltration, sabotage, subversion, and separatist activities by hostile forces. It does not target or suppress legitimate organizations of other countries. Counterespionage Law protects the lawful rights and interests of the vast majority while targeting only the very few institutions, organizations, and individuals that engage in activities endangering China's national security. As long as individuals or entities do not act under the direction of foreign espionage organizations or relevant agents, and have not engaged in activities such as spying, stealing, purchasing, or illegally providing state secrets or intelligence, such conduct will not be identified as espionage. The implementation of Counterespionage Law enables better coordination between development and security, fostering a healthy, stable and sustainable environment for China’s future development.

  ——反间谍工作受到严格的法律保护和约束。坚持依法办事、依法办案，是开展反间谍工作的基本要求。国家安全机关是反间谍工作的主管机关，严格依照国家法律赋予的职权开展反间谍工作，严禁超越职权、滥用职权，并依法保障个人和组织的合法权益。国家安全机关始终坚持公开透明的执法监督，2023年4月，国家安全部首次向全社会开通100091信箱-091分箱作为监督举报专用信箱，开通400-040-5198专线作为监督举报专用电话；2024年4月26日，国家安全部首次向社会公布《国家安全机关行政执法程序规定》和《国家安全机关办理刑事案件程序规定》，严格规范国家安全机关执法活动，进一步将反间防谍工作置于全社会的监督之下，确保每一项工作都经得起法律和历史检验。
