This book offers an interdisciplinary perspective, combining international relations, communication, and sociology, to examine “China's rise” from 2013 to 2022. It frames China as a communicative subject and uses diplomacy, economics, and culture to convey this rise to global audiences. The book builds a comprehensive framework to analyze how China's rise is communicated under current world order, explores related practices, and assesses international perceptions and misperceptions. It further investigates the roots of these misunderstandings through historical patterns of great power ascents, global shifts, and the Western-dominated communication order. The book concludes by identifying the uniqueness of China's rise and offers strategic recommendations for enhancing both international politics and international communication.
