The Development of Local International Communication Centers in China: Core Model, Operating Logic, and Typical Characteristic

Abstract

At the present stage, where China's international communication endeavors are advancing vigorously, the construction of local international communication centers has achieved remarkable results, which play a significant role in further enhancing the international communication effectiveness of regions and improving the international communication discourse system. Based on the current development status of multiple local international communication centers in China, this article summarizes the "geographical hub driving", "industry-integration of communication", "central-local collaborative co-construction", and “provincial-level linked-action in a gradient pattern” four core models that have emerged in the current development process of local international communication centers. Focusing on key dimensions such as content, channels, and resources, through specific practical cases, this article elaborates in detail on the operational logic and typical characteristics of each model, with the aim of providing practical references and theoretical guidance for the future development of different types of local international communication centers.
