Chinese Communication with the West:
A local-and-global dialogical perspective
Shi-xu
_______________________________________________________________________________


Intercultural communication research and pedagogy in most parts of the world the seem to have been conducted within the
‘linguisticcultural-difference-and-deficiency’ paradigm, which is largely guided by the AmericanWestern universalist model
of intercultural communication as message exchange between equal partners from equal cultures. (The situation in China is no different.)
In this paper, I argue for a dialogical, historically conscious, power-minded, and hence multiculturalist, stance on intercultural
and international communication and outline a first equilibrium-oriented perspective on contemporary Chinese public communication
with the West. Specifically, I shall propose the notion that contemporary Chinese discourse, in relation to the dominant
Western discourse of the Other, is oriented towards cultural power balance. To illustrate this approach, I examine how the Chinese
media respond to the American political discourse on China’s human rights.
