Beskrivning

This book explores the effectiveness of the Chinese government’s recent public diplomacy efforts aimed at building its national image, and how these efforts may influence foreign public's view of China. Based on in-depth interviews, media-content analysis and public opinion-poll data, the book discusses Chinese leaders’ foreign visits, Chinese media’s overseas expansion, Confucius institutes, global mega events, and Chinese government’s new policies to attract foreign students, providing not only background information, but also insights from scholars and experts. Although intended mainly for students majoring in communications, Chinese studies, public relations and international relations, it is also of interest to anyone studying China or public diplomacy.

Recensioner i media

“The book provides a comprehensively detailed overview of the public diplomacies of China, providing novel perspectives on social media and the First Lady approach in a neutrally critical way, which may enlighten both Chinese and American scholars and politicians in working for the betterment of the two countries’ relations. Through data-based discussions and a review of the literature, the merits and demerits of each element are objectively evaluated.” (Di Wang, International Journal of Communication, Vol. 15, 2021)
