We argued that although the political affiliations of these influencers remain ambiguous and difficult to determine, they have become de facto contributors to China’s quest for global reputation in a digital age.

In this study, we focused on the self-presentation strategies and discursive frames used by #nonChinese #politicalinfluencers who support China on Twitter (X).

Notably, among the three domains examined, technology diplomacy and digital diplomacy exhibit relatively weaker ideological confrontation characteristics, positioning them as potential focal areas for international tech diplomacy engagement with China. #China #TechDiplomacy #ANR #DigiSov

Those findings also demonstrate that tech diplomacy, as an emerging field, remains conceptually fluid in the Chinese context. While influenced by official discourse, it has yet to coalesce into a unified framework. #China #TechDiplomacy #ANR #DigiSov

Our findings reveal how these three domains of tech diplomacy have developed asymmetrically since 2001, shaped by the interplay of Marxism-Leninism, developmental imperatives, and institutional path dependencies in China's science and technology governance architecture. #China #TechDiplomacy

We also delineated the divergent trajectories characterizing China's tripartite conceptualization of tech diplomacy: digital diplomacy, technology diplomacy, and science diplomacy. #China #TechDiplomacy #ANR #DigiSov

In this article, we see "the Chinese concept of “new quality productive forces” is a form of implicit hegemonic #rhetoric, also a rhetorical device enrolled by Beijing as an alternative of the mainstream Western narrative. #China #TechDiplomacy #ANR #DigiSov

Other dictators will be super encouraged by the act of Trump! That will be horrible!
