On the one hand, globalization is idealized to the point where it turns into the ultimate
fantasy that will one day resolve the myriad issues we are currently experiencing. Some people
who call themselves proponents of globalization in China frequently use concepts like the "world
tide" or "universal ideals" to support their claims. Such views are oversimplifications because
they treat American or Western politics, economics, and culture as the defining principles of
humanity as a whole, concealing the issues with globalization with sentimental language about a
purportedly universal civilisation. On the other side, we may exclude globalization by presuming
that China is still largely feudal and unmodernized, making it premature to even bring up the
topic. As a result, we might assume that China's social issues are a result of China alone and
reject even the presence of globalization, making its problems of little significance to us. Or, we
believe that, given the complexity of China's issues, talking about globalization is too much of a
"luxury." So, in order to fight globalization, we adopt a rigorous nativism. In reality, conceptual
closure syndrome is a term that refers to both the romantic and alienation tendencies. One side
conjures up an ideology that makes globalization seem mysterious, while the other portrays
China as a "self-contained land" that has nothing to do with globalization. They genuinely
disregard the inherent conflicts of interest and contradictions in the process of globalization and
brush over its drawbacks and issues.
People are considerably more conscious of the distinctions and particularities of their
own culture in the current era of globalization. Cultural identity gives local knowledge a
worldwide context as well as a sense of self, community, and nation. According to Deng (2005),
cultural identity provides the answers to the questions "Who am I? Where are we headed? " and
"What Have We Got? People will defend their cultures because they use them to create their
identities. Actually, cultural identity is now much more widely recognized than it was before
globalization.
