Abstract

From the perspective of Marx's theory of world history, data colonization, as the latest form of capital exploitation in the era of digital capitalism, is essentially a new form of oppression and exploitation of developing countries by developed capitalist countries. Developing countries are in the position of sub-users who provide data resources in the entire digitalization chain, while developed countries monopolize and exploit global data resources for their own enrichment. Therefore, the nature of data colonization is destined to be unsustainable, as with transitional capitalism and colonialism in general. The material basis of world history is the change in the mode of production, and the trend of world history is essentially the historical inevitability towards communism. Under these circumstances, in order to achieve the transcendence of the original world market order and the effective dissolution of data colonialism, China has put forward the Belt and Road Initiative, which is an important part of the development of world history and a higher stage of the development of world history. Through the Belt and Road Initiative, we can build a digital community of common destiny, break the monopoly of data interests, realize data justice, and ultimately dissolve data colonialism in a mutually beneficial and win-win manner.
