With the acceleration of a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, digital technology is being fully integrated into all fields and processes of human economic, political, cultural, social and ecological civilization construction at an unprecedented speed, profoundly changing human production and lifestyle, and having a far-reaching impact on the economic and social development of all countries, the global governance system and the process of human civilization. **The General Secretary pointed out that "let digital civilization benefit the people of all countries and promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind". China's Global Initiative on Data Security provides a blueprint for the formulation of global data security rules, calling on all countries to work together to build a community with a shared future for digital. Building a digital community with a shared future is an effective solution put forward by China to follow the development trend of the times, practice the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind, and solve the problems of global digital governance, contributing China's wisdom and strength to global digital governance.
Building a digital community with a shared future is an effective solution to the problem of global digital governance.
At present, the changes in the world, the times, and history are unfolding in an unprecedented way, and the international situation is complex. ** The General Secretary pointed out that "looking at the world, the Cold War mentality and power politics are still speculating, and traditional and non-traditional security threats are emerging one after another." As an emerging field of governance, the current situation of global digital governance is not optimistic, and issues such as data security and information privacy have become important aspects that affect the world. The problem of global digital governance has become increasingly prominent, and safeguarding global digital justice has become the ardent aspiration of people of all countries. Building a digital community with a shared future is an effective solution to the problem of global digital governance.
A community with a shared future advocates multilateral consultation to break digital hegemony. Digital hegemony is essentially an extension of hegemonism in international politics in the digital realm. Digital hegemony is based on digital technology and pursues power politics, and its purpose is still to accumulate digital capital and extend hegemony to all fields and aspects of global economic and social life through digital technology. A digital community with a shared future aims to break down digital hegemony in terms of unilateralism, hegemonism and power politics, and emphasize multilateralism, equality, consultation and win-win cooperation.
A digital community with a shared future emphasizes data sharing to break the digital monopoly. In the digital era, platform giants often impose targeted advertisements on target audiences through real-time monitoring and big data analysis, and collect and encode user data and information, and then form a digital monopoly. Due to the fast flow of data and the wide range of impact, digital monopoly has also become a major problem in global digital governance. The community of digital destiny advocates data sharing, creates a fair and good digital environment, protects the privacy of users' personal data, and breaks the digital monopoly of platforms. China adheres to the development of the digital market in accordance with the law, resolutely opposes monopoly and unfair competition, improves digital rules, and vigorously maintains a market environment of fair competition, providing useful reference for all countries to work together to build a digital community with a shared future.
A community with a shared future attaches great importance to international cooperation to bridge the digital divide. The global digital divide is reflected in the digital technology development gap between technologically less developed developing countries and technologically advanced capitalist countries. The global digital divide reveals the injustice of the current digital economy and digital technology development in the global distribution, and building a community with a shared future provides a solution to narrow the digital divide. A community with a shared future advocates that all countries deepen cooperation and exchanges in the field of digital technology, and make joint efforts through technical cooperation, talent cultivation, policy coordination and other aspects to narrow the technological gap between developing and developed countries as much as possible.
A community with a shared future focuses on technology for good to break digital alienation. The digital space has opened up another space for human interaction, and at the same time, it has also created a crisis of human alienation to a certain extent. Digital alienation commoditizes people's digital labor, causes people to be dependent on the digital labor process, dissolves people's reality, and blurs people's subjectivity. In order to transcend digital alienation, a digital community with a shared future focuses on the ethical dimension of technology for good, which is conducive to eliminating the corrosion of capital on human society and improving human well-being with digital technology, which is an effective way to solve digital alienation.
Uphold multilateralism and work together to build a digital community with a shared future.
In today's world, informatization, digitization, networking, and intelligence have become the general trend, but there are still many problems and challenges in the field of global digital governance. We should start from the improvement of mechanisms, rule-making, infrastructure construction, cultural exchanges, etc., to unite the joint efforts of global digital governance, seek a common way of global digital governance, and work together to build a digital community with a shared future, so as to create a safer, more prosperous and better future in the digital era.
Improve multilateral mechanisms for global digital governance. Multilateralism is the basic norm for building a digital community with a shared future, and it is also an important guarantee for a fair and orderly global digital governance. **The General Secretary stressed that "China has put forward an action plan for digital innovation cooperation and looks forward to working with all parties to create an open, fair and non-discriminatory environment for the development of the digital economy." Global digital governance should respect the common aspirations of all sovereign states, and strive to achieve fairness and inclusiveness, while seeking common ground while reserving differences.
Promote the formulation of global digital governance rules. Digital technology has created a new space for human digital communication where virtual and real life coexist, and digital governance problems such as data leakage and digital crime have also arisen, and it is urgent to formulate fair and reasonable global digital governance rules to solve them. China is committed to deepening cooperation on digital governance, launching the Global Initiative on Data Security, and issuing the China-Arab States Cooperation Initiative on Data Security and the China + Five Central Asian Countries Data Security Cooperation Initiative with the League of Arab States and the five Central Asian countries, respectively, to promote the formulation of global digital governance rules and contribute China's solutions to the formulation of global digital governance rules. All countries in the world should actively participate in the formulation of global digital governance rules and make suggestions and suggestions for building a community with a shared future for the future.
Focus on the construction of global digital infrastructure. Digital infrastructure is an important material guarantee for bridging the digital divide and boosting the development of digital technology in all countries. Strengthening the construction of digital infrastructure can effectively resist the digital monopoly of developed countries and curb the unlimited expansion of the digital divide. Countries should strengthen cooperation in the popularization of digital infrastructure such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and 5G, improve the level of digital technology, promote digital technology-enabled industries, and deepen international cooperation in global cyberspace.
Promote global digital cultural exchanges and mutual learning. To work together to build a digital community with a shared future, we need to uphold an open and inclusive attitude, maintain mutual trust and mutual learning in cultural exchanges, and avoid contradictions and conflicts caused by cultural differences. A digital community with a shared future aims to create a truly open and inclusive community space, and all countries should actively build a platform for digital cultural exchanges and sharing, build digital scenarios for different cultural exchanges and mutual learning, promote emotional communication and spiritual harmony among people of all countries, and use the power of digital to build a bridge for cultural exchanges and mutual learning.
