"One Core and Multiple"Models of Public Communication Organization to Forge a Sense of Community for the Chinese Nation in Municipal Areas
Forging a strong sense of communi-ty for the Chinese nation has become a paramount objective of ethnic governance in the new era of China,and its core content is the"five identi-ties":Identification with the great motherland,the Chinese nation,Chinese culture,the Chinese Communist Party,and socialism with Chinese characteristics.Findings show that propelled by a deepening"reform and opening up"as well as a promotion of new-type urbanization,ethnic minori-ty individuals from remote villages have been con-stantly flocking to cities.Consequently,the demo-graphic composition of urban ethnic minority groups has undergone profound transformations.The increasing pressure on the governance of urban ethnic affairs has prompted an extension of efforts to forge a sense of community for the Chinese na-tion from ethnic regions to urban areas.Fostering a sense of community of the Chinese nation at the municipal level not only seeks to embody and im-plement the directives set forth at the national level but also assume the role of guide and promoter of the county level,thereby playing the role of a vital intermediary.Research also indicates that there has existed an inherent interplay between public communica-tion and forging the consciousness of the Chinese national community in terms of value goals,opera-tional subjects,as well as content and methodolo-gies.The organizational framework governing pub-lic communication is viewed as an important guar-antee for the orderly and effective dissemination of the Chinese national community consciousness in the municipal areas.Yet,the current communica-tion apparatus appears to have been grappling with several practical difficulties:structural fragmenta-tion,disjointed organizational elements vertically and horizontally,and functional hindrances impe-ding a comprehensive of each communication sub-ject.Therefore,by taking into consideration China's conditions and practical characteristics of forging of a sense of community for the Chinese na-tion in municipal areas,this paper tries to recon-struct a"One Core and Multiple"communication organizational framework based on the concept of"meta-governance".This approach involves multi-ple subjects participating in activities under the guidance of one main leader.After which this pub-lication dives into an exploration of the shaping of this communication organization system from the perspective of value proposition.Specifically,this paper suggests this reconstruction should include the following:First,the central role of Party or-ganizations for public communication should be strengthened in the new era.This entails enhan-cing their political,ideological,and organizational leadership efficacy in communication endeavors.Second,the administrative functions of government agencies in public communication should be trans-formed.In other words,government bodies should play the role of facilitators,rule-setters,arbitrators of diverse interests,and supervisors of the imple-mentation process within the communication infra-structure.Third,the communication vitality of community-based organizations,social enterprises,economic entities,and autonomous bodies should be stimulated.Fourth,a public spirit and partici-patory culture among community residents should be cultivated and enhanced.Attention should be paid to the provision of equal participation opportu-nities in the communication ecosystem for commu-nity residents,especially for ethnic peoples,nur-turing a culture of solidarity,cooperation,and ef-fective communication competencies among local residents.
