Metaverse Immersion in"Intellectual Geopolitics":Reflections on Building Governance in Digital Space
The iterative upgrading of digital technology has continuously enriched geopolitical theories,and the metaverse struc-tured by digital technology will become a new space for geopolitical development in parallel with the sea,land,air and sky,and an important battlefield for international competition among big powers in the future,which will lead to the game of"intellectual geopolitics".Intellectual geopolitical game is that actors realize the purpose of political game by leading the digital technology of metaverse and controlling the digital sovereignty and digital territory of virtual world of metaverse.As the metaverse is immersed in"intellectual geopolitics",it will threaten the security of national digital sovereignty,intensify the"digital frontier"game sit-uation,and exacerbate the"virtual border"blurring to give rise to cultural conflicts.In this regard,the digital space governance program should be constructed from the perspectives of improving the strategic layout of digital space,establishing the concept of community of destiny in metaverse space,and constructing the value consensus of"people-orientedness",so as to prevent and defuse the risk of"intellectual geopolitics"in metaverse space.
