Features: Cultural exchange is naturally multifaceted—there is give and take. While introducing foreign cultures, we also promote our own. This will enable Chinese culture to spread on an unprecedented scale, breaking out of Asia and heading toward the world. We must advocate cultural self-awareness. On cultural issues, isolationism, cultural nationalism, arrogance, exaggerating the superiority of Confucian culture in China, or pessimism and cultural nihilism are all misunderstandings of the national context and out of touch with the world. Socialism is an advanced culture, and it has demonstrated an enduring vitality among generations of working people because its ideas and principles embody the noble cultural values of human society. With five thousand years of splendid and brilliant traditional Chinese culture, we have every reason to be confident, proud, and self-respecting. China's rich, diverse, and profound cultural treasures will showcase their charm in the tide of global cultural exchange. This book provides an in-depth exploration of ten key issues related to economic globalization and socialism with Chinese characteristics. The main contents include:
1. What is globalization;
2. Globalization and the development trends of the contemporary world;
3. Marxist thought on globalization;
4. The second wave of globalization in history and China;
5. The dissolution of the Soviet Union and the role of technological revolution;
