Digital financial imperialism refers to the imperialist form in which digital financial capital holds a dominant position. In digital financial imperialism, a digital hegemony system based on digital financial capital controls global digitization,constructing a digital colonial system. It manifests as digital monopoly inform and digital rentierism in content. This has led to the rapid growth of the digital economy accompanied by the implementation of digital hegemony, which not only triggers a global digital crisis but also further exacerbates the imbalance in digital geopolitical economics. To criticize and transcend digital financial imperialism, it is necessary to “return to Marxist theory” and abandon the logic of digital financial capital by constructing a digital community with a shared future. This digital community with a shared future is grounded on the shared aspirations and long-term well-being of global digital workers, adhering to the value principle of “progress of human civilization” and pursuing the goal of “joint construction and sharing”. It transcends digital financial capital and digital liberalism, guiding global digitization towards the development objective of “mutual benefit and win-win cooperation in digital field”.
