三十年以前,苏联第一颗人造卫星上天曾对美国的科技霸权造成了一次冲击,今天,美国又面临着同样严峻的挑战,但这新的威胁是来自过去的被保护者,现今的竞争对于——日本。1983年5月,美国一个著名的民间团体上书并会见了里根总统,建议发起一次类似在苏联发射第一颗人造卫星之后在美国兴起的“改革运动”,来对付日本在高技术领域的竞争。也象上一次那样,美国的科技情报工作首当其冲,迅速地作出了反应。“日本技术文献法案”的提出和通过,正是其中最重要的立法步骤之一。提出“法案”的背景七十年代后期以来,美国在国际市场上同日本的竞争形势日益恶化,不仅在一般贸易上出现了数百亿美元的巨大逆差,而且在技术贸易和技术密集产品贸易上也开始出现 Thirty years ago, the Soviet Union’s first artificial satellite had once caused an impact on U.S.’s technological hegemony. Today, the U.S. faces yet another severe challenge. However, this new threat comes from the protected people of the past and the current competition. For - Japan. In May 1983, a well-known American civil society wrote and met with President Reagan, suggesting that he launch a “reform movement” similar to that launched in the United States after the launch of the first artificial satellite in the United States to deal with Japan’s competition in the high-tech field. As in the last time, the US’s scientific and technological intelligence work took the brunt of it and responded quickly. The formulation and adoption of the “Japan Technical Documentation Act” is one of the most important legislative steps. The Background of the “Bill” Since the late 1970s, the United States has become increasingly deteriorating in the international market with Japan. Not only has there been a huge tens of billions of dollars in trade deficits in general trade, but also in trade in technology and technology-intensive products. Also began to appear
