In the context of promoting Chinese path to modernization with high-quality development, the challenges faced by counter-terrorism and security, as two aspects of An-Quan connotation, will become increasingly prominent. The ability of ideology, risk identification and response measures of the An-Quan (counterterrorism and security) need to be improved. In this paper, we differentiate and analyze the concept and essential relationship of the Chinese terms “An-Quan, An-Quan (safety), and An-Quan (security)”, “security and counterterrorism”, “counterterrorism(policing) and counterterrorism(fallback)”, and explain their traits transformation, traits change and practical significance. We hope this research could promote the establishment of the discipline of critical infrastructure An-Quan (counterterrorism and security) in the industrial field under the discipline framework of national security.
