The Mechanism for Shaping the Identity of the Community of the Chinese Nation in the Perspective of the State Construction:An Empirical Study of the World Values Survey
The formation of the identity of the community of the Chinese nation is closely related to the state-society and central-local dual structures at the macro level,and is also affected by such factors as the local identity,the trust in government,publicity and mo-bilization at the micro level.Through the analysis of the latest data of the World Values Survey(WVS),the paper empirically explores the mechanism of the local identity,the trust in government and the trust in news media for shaping the identity of the community of the Chinese nation,and has the following conclusions:First,the local identity and the identity of the community of the Chinese nation are positively and significantly related;second,the trust in government plays a significant mediating role in the correlation between the lo-cal identity and the identity of the community of the Chinese nation;third,the trust in news media can not only regulate the influence of the local identity on the trust in government,but also regulate the functioning mechanism of the trust in government on the identity of the Chinese nation.From the perspective of the state construction and for the enhancement of the identity of the community of the Chi-nese nation,we should pay attention to the"second combination"to enhance the local identity,the trust in government with the guid-ance of the Party building and the trust in the news media in the whole construction process of the people's democratic mechanism on the Chinese-style socialist road with its practicability and efficiency.
