Economically, the booming international trade has increased the economic interdependence among countries. Multinational companies have set up production and sales networks around the world, allowing resources to be allocated more efficiently. For example, Apple has set up R&D centers and factories around the world to make full use of the advantages of local resources, reduce costs, and improve product competitiveness.

In terms of culture, internationalization has promoted the exchange and integration of different cultures. Film and television works, music, art, etc. are spread around the world, enriching people's spiritual life. Hollywood movies are popular all over the world, allowing audiences around the world to understand American culture and values; Korean pop music (K-Pop) has also shined on the international stage, attracting many fans.

However, internationalization also brings some challenges. In the economic field, some developing countries may face the risk of industrial hollowing out, and their traditional industries will be impacted. In cultural exchanges, cultural conflicts and erosion of local culture may also occur.

In order to better cope with the opportunities and challenges brought by internationalization, countries need to strengthen cooperation and jointly formulate rules and standards. At the same time, they should pay attention to protecting local culture and inherit and promote their own excellent cultural traditions while absorbing foreign culture.

In short, internationalization is a double-edged sword. We must make full use of its advantages, resolve its adverse effects, and achieve common development and prosperity.
