Starting from industrial revolution in europe, European countries (especially Britain) began to export products to the world, followed by capital. After more than two centuries of development, Europe, America and Japan have become the most developed countries in the world, and the economies of these developed countries have deeply influenced the economies of underdeveloped countries in the world. Resources and low-end products from underdeveloped countries flow to developed countries, while high-end products and capital from developed countries flow to underdeveloped countries. The geographical boundaries of a country are no longer economic cages. It is very common for economies to interact, penetrate and complement each other. The proportion of transnational corporations in the world economy has exceeded 30%, and it is still increasing year by year. The trend of economic globalization is very obvious.

The reason of economic globalization is that developed countries take the lead in industrialization and capital accumulation, and are generally ahead of underdeveloped countries in science and technology. High-end products and surplus capital in developed countries need to find a way out to find a market, while underdeveloped countries, on the contrary, lack technology and capital, need high-tech products and capital from developed countries to develop their own economy and need each other. This is the basic reason of economic globalization. The motor of economic globalization is capital, and it is the profit-seeking nature of capital that urges excess capital to flow to potentially profitable places and then return. Generally speaking, developed countries flow to underdeveloped countries, but there are also special phenomena, such as capital flowing to developed America, which is determined by the inherent profit-seeking nature of capital.

The trend of economic globalization may affect the national economic development of some countries and regions and encounter resistance, but these are local and non-mainstream phenomena. Generally speaking, economic globalization has more advantages than disadvantages for underdeveloped countries, which can promote the equality between underdeveloped countries and developed countries. Economic globalization may make rich countries richer and poor countries poorer. This wealth and poverty should be relative. In essence, after economic globalization, underdeveloped countries have gradually joined the ranks of developed countries.

2. Westernization trend

Modern science and technology mainly originated in the west. After the industrial revolution, the west has made great progress in philosophy, economics, medicine and modern science and technology, and is in a leading position in the world.

While the west is leading in economy and science and technology, it is also improving its political system. Parliamentary democracy in Europe was finally perfected in the form of separation of powers in the United States.

As a result, the western political system, religious belief, lifestyle, culture and art spread all over the world with the western economy and modern western science and technology, forming a westernization trend.

Whether you like it or not, it is an indisputable fact that all countries in the world are gradually westernizing. The west has a great influence on the world in economy, politics, culture, science and technology. Under the current trend of political, economic and cultural globalization, it will inevitably impact the political, economic and cultural systems of different countries and regions. It is normal to encounter some resistance and obstacles, but this resistance seems to be gradually weakening. Of course, everything in the west is not perfect, and what the west doesn't have is not without its merits. The west also has some advanced points worth learning from.

3. The trend of world cultural integration

Under the current trend of westernization of politics, economy and culture, it will inevitably impact the national economy, politics, religious beliefs and culture of non-westernized countries, and will inevitably encounter resistance from non-westernized countries, especially those that believe in Islam. Of course, everything in the west is not perfect, and people in other countries cannot be forced to accept it. Everything in non-western countries is not useless, and western countries also have something to learn from. Therefore, the world culture should gradually merge, influence each other, penetrate each other, and gradually move towards integration. In today's era of internet information sharing, the integration of world cultures is an inevitable trend, and any closed-door measures in any country are futile.
