Surrounding Communications Research

This column is a permanent feature of JGTSS and serves as a strategic cooperation platform with the Center for Peripheral Communication Studies at Peking University. It is dedicated to advancing the systematic development of China’s original Peripheral Communication Theory and fostering global dialogue.

The Surrounding Communication Theory was first proposed by Professor Di LU in 2013. It has since been recognized as one of the “Four Major Indigenous Theories in Journalism and Communication Studies in China” and one of the “Top Ten Original Theories in Chinese Philosophy and Social Sciences.” This theory provides an innovative analytical framework for understanding geopolitical information flows and cross-cultural communication mechanisms.
