Keywords:
China's national image, Belt and Road Initiative, literature review, cross-cultural perspectives, self-shapingAbstract
This literature review provides a comprehensive understanding of the perceptions of China's national image in the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). By examining a variety of scholarly articles, research papers, and relevant publications, the review explores cross-cultural perspectives on China's national image within the BRI context. It focuses on the self-shaping of China's national image and the image shaped by other countries, highlighting the discrepancies and factors influencing these perceptions. Analyzing diverse sources, this review examines the dimensions and factors influencing perceptions of China's national image in the BRI. It discusses China's self-shaping efforts, how other countries perceive China's national image, and the factors shaping foreign perceptions. The review also addresses the implications of these perceptions and offers recommendations to enhance China's national image in the BRI. Finally, it identifies research gaps and suggests potential directions for future studies in this area.
