New technological factors will also have a far-reaching impact on international politics in a broad sense. The technological giants crossing sovereignty not only create conditions for international transactions in a broader sense, but also accelerate the empowerment of the structure and actors of sub-sovereignty. As predicted by neoconservatism, conflicting lifestyles, religious beliefs and ruling patterns will be intertwined, which will destroy the original way of getting along and ruling order, but also strengthen a brand-new new global gendarmerie structure.
"Freemasonry" may be a legend in the past, but it may evolve into an international action little by little in the future, and due to the low-cost organization brought by emerging technologies, it will form a kind of "self-sublimity", further develop into an active behavior, and strengthen more conservative political values.
However, it is worth mentioning that some emerging technology applications not only bring potential governance risks, but also contain some opportunities for democratic development. For example, the emerging named data network NDN(Named Data Networking) will overcome the limitation of the traditional content distribution network CDN (Content Delivery Network) and democratize the network content distribution. The core idea of this technology is to abandon the traditional addressing method of digitizing the content location (such as IP address) and adopt the content name instead of the address, which makes the transmission irrelevant to the location, and the named data becomes the main body of the network, and the accuracy of the content can be verified by using digital signature technology. Obviously, if such technological development is properly applied in the fields of election and communication, it may optimize the realization form of mass democracy.
Bill Bishop’s "The Big Sort" published in 2008 pointed out that under the atmosphere of political polarization, people with similar political positions constantly choose to embrace each other and alienate people with different positions.
Such a change has brought changes and impacts to the strategies used in American elections.
Future prospects
If the rise of technological giants is the most far-reaching phenomenal event in the social field since the 21st century, then the governance and reform of the country in the new technological environment is the most challenging and most observable event in the political field. The development of new technologies will profoundly affect all aspects of politics, economy, science and technology and culture in terms of speed, depth and breadth. The wide application of new technologies has had a profound impact on the behavior and choices of various subjects such as the government, enterprises, non-governmental organizations and ordinary people, which has brought about brand-new changes in the objects, tasks and environment of state governance.
From the practical experience of new technology enterprises participating in epidemic prevention and control in COVID-19, the participation of technical subjects with Internet, big data and artificial intelligence not only has the function of preventing public health crisis, but also, in a broader sense, technical subjects will be accompanied by changes in development environment and innovations in national governance tasks, especially when the government encounters a series of major governance crises that are not equal to its own capabilities, thus participating in various government management functions and public governance tasks more widely.
However, the use of new technologies and the emergence of "super power bodies" represented by technology giants have obvious conflicts with the political operation rules of traditional political subjects such as party groups, governments, enterprises, media, social organizations, etc. All major technologies will lead to some enlarged choices, and the depth and breadth of their influence will often exceed the self-understanding ability of the ruling structure.
In the new technological environment, the consolidation of state power and the effectiveness of government governance require the government to be flexible in responding to all kinds of uncertain risks. In the era of new technology, it is an inevitable trend for state institutions to cooperate with technology giants. A national governance subject and structure with anti-risk ability needs a wide-ranging benefit and risk sharing mechanism and a "stable period" for solving complex social problems in a diversified way. The most important cooperative object is the technology giants with great influence.
Developed countries all over the world are entering an era in which Leviathan cooperates with technology giants. In the face of the test of uncertainty, the state should strengthen its national capacity by effectively absorbing new technological factors and uniting new technological forces, solve governance problems in cooperation, and jointly build a brand-new public governance framework and an efficient security early warning mechanism.
Through the frequent news events and a series of experiences related to technology enterprises at home and abroad in the past two years, we also realize that technology giants have distinguished or even surpassed traditional capital giants and some traditional political subjects in many important aspects, and have unique resources and super powers that the latter does not have.
How to effectively control these technology empires and technology "monsters" that monopolize technology, capital and power, how to establish a benign interaction mechanism between new technology enterprises and government regulatory departments, how to better overcome the potential political impact caused by the deep application of technology while carrying out efficient and coordinated public governance, and guide them to expand their economic scale and market influence while always respecting the public interests of the country and the beautiful values cherished by the people will be a brand-new political topic.
