Abstract

While cyber technology has played a huge role in promoting the development of human civilization, it has also brought a wide range of security risks for individuals and society as a whole. When entering the 21st century, with the growing popularity of the cyberspace as well as penetrating areas of politics, economy and culture, and the gradual emergence of cybersecurity issues, cybersecurity has become an important factor seriously affecting national security. Therefore, cybersecurity has become a non-traditional security issue the international community has to face. 

And now discourse analysis is one of the most powerful subjects in the humanities and social sciences. Different from the traditional linguistic, language is abstracted from the context of description, it concerns the speech phenomenon and speech problems and related to the social life itself. Because of it, the Discourse Analysis also affects other humanity social science, as their studying method. To protect our cybersecurity, we need to analyze the discourse, and put out some correct discourse.

 In order to examine the issue of China-US cybersecurity, the paper first talks about the situation about the internet and then talks about what is cybersecurity. In the second part and what is most important in this paper, I try to compare the different arguments on cybersecurity between American government and Chinese government. Then I try to analyze these arguments and find the reasons why these two governments say in this way or that way. And at the end of this paper, I put forward some of my ideas to protect our cybersecurity. And these ideas not only include how to express the cybersecurity ,but also what can we do to protect cybersecurity. I wish this paper can help to deal with the problem of cybersecurity and give others some inspirations.
