The Construction of Diplomatic Narrative With Chinese Characteristics:Capacity Building,Influence Mechanism and Path Selection
Diplomatic narration serves as a crucial discourse tool for expanding national influence and shaping a country'si-mage and a key indicator for assessing a nation's comprehensive strength in the new era,particularly its soft power.It is arhetori-cal coercion that anationutilizes diplomatic narration to convey its ideological concepts to guide other countries to establish politi-cal and cultural identities compatible with their own.Rational diplomatic narration can bridge ideological differences,shape po-litical identity,and legitimize policies.Presently,there are international narratives imbued with contemporary significance,as well as national narratives concerning the role and values of sovereign states.Major powers engage in a narrative game to seize the initiative in the information warfare.China articulates its story with"win-win cooperation"at its core,significantly impacting major power relations and regional dynamics.Meanwhile,the United States employs the Hegemonic Stability Theory as the ratio-nale for international intervention and the inherent logic of its diplomatic narration,neutralizing and squeezing the narrative space of other nations to advance its strategic interests and safeguard its security.With the intensifying Sino-U.S.strategic competition,the U.S.defines China as the other intending to challenge the existing order,with the employment of subversive deconstruction through scenario shaping,identity establishment,and plot design to emphasize confrontational aspects in its narrative.Beyond Western anti-China narratives,China is also confronting challenges in enhancing capabilities for projection and discourse system construction in the digital age.To strengthen and improve narrative construction,China must proactively tell its story to the world,altering established norms through diplomatic narration to build a positive national image;establish a narrative framework with multiple layers and subjects and emphasize diversified expression and precise dissemination of China's voice,deepening in-ternational audiences'understanding of the Chinese civilization and enhancing the appeal and influence of China's narrative.
