In the digital era, competition and games in cyberspace have become the focus of attention of all countries, and the international order in cyberspace is in the process of formation. At the same time, individual Western countries, led by the United States, have transformed the advantages of network technology into the advantages of global governance power in cyberspace, engaged in cyber bullying, strengthened network deterrence, trampled on international rules, seriously damaged the ecological environment of cyberspace, and jeopardized the security of the international Internet industry supply chain. Opposing cyber hegemony and building a community of destiny in cyberspace is the way to promote the construction of a new type of international relations of mutual respect, fairness and justice, and win-win cooperation.
The United States has been promoting network access and exclusion rules dominated by U.S. standards. This behavior, which has nothing to do with international justice and global democracy, is an extension of the hegemony centered on maximizing U.S. interests in cyberspace. In fact, the U.S. has been promoting hegemony in cyberspace by means of alliances for a long time. The U.S. has joined several countries in issuing the Joint Statement on Promoting Responsible State Conduct in Cyberspace against China and Russia, and the U.S. has launched the so-called "Clean Network Initiative" in an attempt to "de-China" telecommunications equipment, mobile communications, digital platforms, and cloud storage. "The U.S. has been practicing cyber hegemony through measures such as the Clean Cyber Initiative. The essence of cyberhegemony is digital colonialism, the goal of which is to maximize the interests of hegemonic states and alliances. Cyberhegemonists advocate a "free and open" cyberspace to facilitate their global wealth extraction, ideological export and cyber attacks.
The usual tactics of cyberhegemonists are to make unfounded accusations, and to impose targeted blockades and sanctions. Cyberhegemonists often take confrontational or sanctioning measures on the grounds that technological innovation by other countries is a form of "digital authoritarianism". However, the underlying reason for their actions is fear of the changes brought about by new technologies and business models, and fear of losing their monopoly position. It is extremely common for cyber hegemonists to impose targeted blockades and sanctions on countries with emerging technologies in order to maintain their established cyber dominance or monopoly. The U.S. is pushing the "Future Internet Alliance" in order to create conditions for blocking and sanctioning countries with different ideologies in a closed "small circle. In order to promote the protectionist strategy of cyber hegemony, the U.S. has repeatedly boycotted or suppressed Chinese network enterprises, such as ZTE, Huawei, Tencent, ByteDance, etc., on the grounds of suspected national security.
In today's era, the collision between advanced and backward, civilization and barbarism, truth and lies is more direct and intense in cyberspace. It has been proven that only by being vigilant against cyber hegemony, adhering to the concept of building a community of destiny in cyberspace, and forming a development concept and Internet governance rule system from the perspective of the whole of humanity, humanity will have a bright future.
