Covering China’s New Development Pattern: Issues and Strategies for Transcultural Communication

Abstract

The profound integration of China’s economy into the global economic and trade system creates an open cultural environment that facilitates cooperation and exchanges between China and the outside world. It is essential to understand how media with diverse cultural backgrounds cover China’s new development pattern and how they narrate China’s economic development in the global community. This essay examines the above issues from three perspectives: policy narrative, system narrative, and identity narrative. The diverse narratives provide implications for us to understand China’s economic policy in the global context, and to pursue new insights into transcultural communication.
