布林肯国务卿在斯坦福大学对媒体的讲话

2022年10月17日，星期一，#布林肯国务卿#访问了斯坦福大学。

布林肯国务卿在推特上表示：“在SLAC国家加速器实验室的访问很棒，这个伟大的国家实验室由斯坦福大学运营，属于能源部。这里令人惊叹的人才获得了诺贝尔奖，领导了国际合作，并促进了物理学、生物学、能源研究——甚至古生物学方面的发现！”

在斯坦福大学，布林肯国务卿与第66任国务卿、现任斯坦福大学胡佛研究所主任康多莉扎·赖斯讨论了科技、外交和国家安全的演变和重要性。

布林肯国务卿在推特上表示：“康多莉扎·赖斯和我讨论了科技外交， 这是我们国家安全的一部分。新的国家安全战略表明我们致力于为技术制定行路规则，同时致力于保护我们制度的完整性。”

布林肯国务卿还在斯坦福大学对媒体发表讲话。以下是他在新闻发布会开场时的讲话节选。

布林肯国务卿：[...]

我们正处在一个转折点。后冷战的世界已经到了尽头，当前正在进行的激烈竞争将塑造未来。这场竞争的核心是技术。技术将以多种方式重新改变我们的经济。技术将改革我们的军队。技术将重塑全球各地人们的生活。因此，技术从深层次来说是国家实力的来源。

同时，技术也是我们对未来积极愿景的前沿和中心：技术找到疾病的治愈方法；技术确保世界各地的人们在当下日益严重的粮食不安全状况中拥有可持续和健康的粮食供应；技术确保我们未来能不依赖化石燃料而驱动我们的经济，并确保我们应对气候变化；技术能让我们拥有有韧性且强有力的供应链——我们经历过没有这些时是什么样子；技术最终将在未来创造好的工作。

[...]

我们还必须成为规则制定者，帮助制定技术使用的规则、规范和标准。

[...]

当我们投资于自身优势时，我们处于最佳状态。

[...]

但是，只有在我们对其进行正确投资时才会产生最佳效果。很高兴，我们是在这样做。这就发生在几周前《芯片与科学法案》通过之时，这是对基础科学、对研发的投资，将会为子孙后代带来回报。它还将使美国成为一个在全球极具吸引力的地方。当人们看到这是我们正在做的事，看到我们正在对未来进行明智的投资，他们渴望参与其中。他们渴望来到这里，与我们共同努力，携手合作，他们渴望与我们在世界各地共同努力，帮助塑造所有这些技术在未来的使用方式。

Secretary Blinken's Remarks to the Press at Stanford

On Monday, Oct. 17, 2022, Secretary Blinken visited Stanford University. 

Secretary Blinken said on Twitter, "Great visit to SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, an incredible National Lab operated by Stanford for the ENERGY Department. The amazing minds here have received Nobel Prizes, led international collaborations and enabled discoveries in physics, biology, energy research—and even paleontology!"

At Stanford University, Secretary Blinken and Condoleezza Rice, the 66th Secretary of State who is also the director of the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, engaged in a conversation on the evolution and importance of technology, diplomacy, and national security.

Secretary Blinken said on Twitter, "Condoleezza Rice and I discussed tech diplomacy as part of our national security. The new National Security Strategy demonstrates our commitment to shaping the rules of the road for technology while protecting our systems' integrity."

At Stanford, Secretary Blinken also delivered remarks to the press. Below are excerpts from what he said at the top of his press conference.

SECRETARY BLINKEN: [...]

We are at an inflection point.  The post-Cold War world has come to an end, and there is an intense competition underway to shape what comes next.  And at the heart of that competition is technology.  Technology will in many ways retool our economies.  It will reform our militaries.  It will reshape the lives of people across the planet.  And so it’s profoundly a source of national strength.

At the same time, it is front and center in the positive vision that we have for the future:  technology finding cures for diseases; technology making sure that people around the world have sustainable, healthy food supplies at a time now of growing food insecurity; technology to make sure that we can power our economies going forward without relying on fossil fuels and making sure that we’re dealing with climate change; technology to have resilient, strong supply chains – we’ve experienced what it looks like when we don’t; and technology ultimately that can produce good jobs for the future.

[...]

We also have to be the ones who are at the table who are helping to shape the rules, the norms, the standards by which technology is used. 

[...]

We are at our best when we’re investing in our own strengths.  

[...]

But it works best when we’re making the right investments in it.  And happily, we are.  What just took place a few weeks ago with the passage of the CHIPS and Science Act, that’s the kind of investment in basic science, in research and development, that’s going to pay off for generations to come.  And it also makes the United States an incredible place of attraction around the world.  When people see that this is what we’re doing, that we’re making smart investments in the future, they want to be part of it.  They want to come here, work with us, collaborate, and they want to work with us around the world in helping to shape the way all of this technology is being used going forward.
