After review of literature on domestic industrial ecological security, we reveal the status quo from a given perspective, key points, and trends in this research field. Furthermore,we point out the important development, as well as problems, and make projections and suggestions on the issues. We show that domestic scholars have achieved much in fundamental, applied research by absorbing, defining, using important concepts, theories, and methods, and extending two key fields of such studies. Conversely, their weaknesses were also clear:the study of fundamental theory is rather poor; applied study is confined to the meso-level, such as eco-industrial parks and certain industries and regions; professional and systematic studies both at the micro and macro levels of enterprises and at the national scale are insufficient; and methods are poor concerning comprehensive cross research, empirical research, and quantitative research. Therefore, it is imperative that studies be strengthened in terms of fundamental theories of industrial ecological security. Empirical and quantitative research should be given priority. It is also important to understand the features of integrated and interdisciplinary research in industrial ecological security, with priority on the high energy-consuming industry and the natural eco-environment security of industry, to develop research on economically eco-environment security, socially eco-environment security, and integrated natural-economical-social multiple ecological system security. Thus a coordination mechanism should be established for relevant disciplines and departments to make effective communication, and for governments, enterprises, universities and research institutes to make harmonious cooperation.
