建立社会主义市场经济体制是一场意义深远的历史变革，引起了整个经济和社会领域的深刻变化。其中之一，就是企业成了市场的主体，大踏步地走向国际市场参与竞争。在这种情况下，企业的涉外工作大幅度增加。由于企业的经营和技术秘密将直接影响企业的经济利益，而且也会不同程度地影响到国家的经济利益，因此，企业在国际上的竞争不单纯是企业间的竞争，它同国与国之间的竞争已经不可分割，企业中的涉外保密工作已成为国家整个保密工作中的重要组成部分。 The establishment of a socialist market economic structure is a far-reaching historical change that has brought about profound changes in the entire economic and social fields. One of them is that enterprises have become the main body of the market and marched toward the international market to participate in the competition. Under such circumstances, the foreign-related work of enterprises has increased substantially. As the operation and technical secrets of enterprises will directly affect the economic interests of enterprises, and will also affect the economic interests of the country to varying degrees, the international competition of enterprises is not simply the competition among enterprises. Competition has become inseparable, and the work of foreign-related secrets in enterprises has become an important part of the overall secrecy work in the country.
