Abstract Scientific and technological revolution is the driving force to deepen global ocean governance, which inevitably triggers new problems and challenges in the meanwhile. The first three scientific and technological revolutions in history have improved the efficiency of states’ maritime activities, while competitions in maritime security arise at the same time. The fourth revolution characterized by informazation and artificial intelligence is in progress, which contributes to diversifying the subject of ocean governance and enhancing the efficiency of maritime search and rescue, as well as the perception of maritime domain.However, it may also give rise to governance problems such as the intensification of maritime competition among great powers, new governance vacuum and illegal proliferation of technology. Deeply involved in global ocean governance, China is supposed to keep selfrestraint in developing new technologies, promote the establishment of relevant international norms on technology development actively, propel international cooperation, and reinforce the management of nonstate actors.
