欧美公众对中国形象的认知与误读——以中国崛起为背景

The Perception and Misreading of China's Image by the Public of Europe and America: Taking China's Rising as the Background

中国的崛起令世界瞩目。欧美一些民调机构的调研结果表明,欧美公众对中国的认知与态度是"重视与担忧并存",并对崛起的中国国家形象存在误读。其中三种有代表性的误读是:"中国是发达国家","中国经济发展是世界的威胁","中国军事力量是威胁"。欧美公众对中国国家形象产生误读的关键是没有选择一个客观的视角认知中国,而是选取了自己偏好的视角进行理解、阐释与自我强化。

The rise of China has attracted worldwide attention. According to the results of some polls doneby some European and American pollsters, the perception and attitudes of European and American people to-wards China is that of ＂coexistence of value and？ worry＂, in which the image of a rising China has been mis-read to some extent. The three representatives of misreading are that China is a developed country; China＇ s e-conomic development is the threat of the world; and China＇ s military power is a threat. The key point of themisreading is that the public of Europe and America did not choose an objective perspective to view China; In-stead, they chose the one they preferred to interpret, to explain and thus to selfreinforce.
