大国竞争背景下中美在中东的叙事博弈论析

Analysis of the Narrative Game between China and the United States in the Middle East under the Background of Great Power Competition

大国竞争背景下,中美在中东的叙事博弈因双方叙事理念的差异、对中东秩序观的认知相异,以及中美战略竞争的激化蔓延所致。中美在中东的叙事图式呈现出各自不同的形态。美国以价值观叙事、阵营对立叙事和强制性叙事为主;中国则倡导包容性叙事、共同体叙事和认同性叙事。在不同叙事路径导引下,中美之间的叙事博弈进一步演化为烈度由高至低的3种博弈形式,即互动式外交博弈、影射式对话博弈和构境式倡议博弈。受此影响,双方叙事出现路径差异扩大、议题范围延伸的潜在趋势,域内国家的反应不一。为了避免中美之间的叙事之争导致双方在中东的竞争关系升级,中国需理性解构美国的霸权叙事逻辑,构建有中国特色的中东元叙事体系,从而在百年未有之大变局的关键节点“讲好中国故事,传递华夏声音”。

In the context of great power competition,the narrative game between China and the United States in the Middle East is influenced by the divergence in their narrative philosophies,disparate perceptions of the Middle Eastern order,and the escalation and spread of Sino-American strategic competition.Consequently,the narrative patterns of China and the United States in the Middle East exhibit distinct forms.The United States primarily adopts a narrative focusing on values,camp-based opposition,and coercion,while China advocates for inclusive,community-oriented,and recognition-based narratives.Guided by different narrative paths,the narrative game between China and the United States in the Middle East has evolved into three levels of intensity:interactive diplomatic game,mirroring dialogical game,and context-building initiative game.Affected by this,there is a potential trend of expanding the differences in the narratives of the two sides and extending the scope of the issues.Countries in the region have responded differently as well.To prevent narrative disputes between China and the United States from escalating their competitive relationship in the Middle East,China needs to rationally deconstruct and expose the United States'hegemonic narrative logic and construct a Middle East meta-narrative system with Chinese characteristics.This approach will allow China to"tell the Chinese story,and convey the voice of the Chinese nation"in the critical juncture of the unprecedented transformation in the Middle East.
