And first of all, I would like to mention an event in our recent history. 　　很高兴今天能在此就“全球化”这一主题来和大家谈谈我的想法。首先，我要提到的是近代史上的一件大事。 　　Thirty years ago, American President Richard Nixon made an epoch-making visit to China, a country still isolated at that time. Premier Zhou Enlai said to him, Your handshake came over the vastest ocean in the world - twenty-five years of no communication.

M. 福斯特的那句话：“但求沟通!” 　　With the IT revolution taking place, traditional boundaries of human society fall away. Our culture, politics, socie
