Abstract: The “algorithm revolution” is not only a revolution in productivity, but also a revolution in production relations, and the two have a dialectical unity. In order to adapt to the new requirements of technological progress marked by the “algorithmic revolution”, contemporary capitalist production relations have undergone some new changes and developed capitalism has further evolved into digital imperialism. Digital imperialism is a new stage and a new form of imperialism, which has not changed the essence of the capitalist economic system, but has brought about new development of various contradictions inherent in capitalism. Digital imperialism has led to the alienation of digital labor through the monopoly of digital production, expanding the exploitation of global workers. It has also created more unequal global exchange brought by the digital hegemony built on international platform monopolies. The repartitioning of global wealth under algorithmic rules has created a digital divide in terms of distribution and exacerbated the imbalance between developed and developing countries. Finally, the use of dependence mechanisms concerning digital consumption has amplified the digital discrimination in terms of consumption with more exploitation extending to the sphere of global consumption.

摘要： “算法革命”不仅是生产力的革命，也是生产关系的革命，两者具有辩证统一性。为了适应以“算法革命”为标志的新的技术进步要求，当代资本主义生产关系发生了一些新变化，发达资本主义进一步向数字帝国主义演变。数字帝国主义是帝国主义的新阶段和新形态，它并没有改变资本主义经济制度的本质，而是使资本主义固有的各种矛盾得到新的发展。数字帝国主义通过数字生产垄断引起数字劳动异化，扩大了对全球劳动者的剥削；利用国际平台垄断的数字霸权，造成全球交换的更加不平等；借助算法规则的控制权重新分割全球财富，形成了数字分配鸿沟，加剧发达国家与发展中国家的不平衡性；采用数字消费依赖机制放大数字消费歧视，加强对全球消费性的掠夺。
