Abstract:

This paper attempts to explore the global communication of Xi Jinping: The Governance of China for its status quo and impacts. In light of the OCLC First Search statistics, we hope to draw a global communication map of the works in 13 languages by sorting out the numbers of libraries with the works and the countries involved as well. A special attention is given to the global communication maps of the English and Chinese versions, particularly those in the US. Our research findings show that the works are widely read, and are exerting significant and profound impacts at a world level. In the US alone, the works not only have allured great interest in the academia but also moved away from the periphery with small readership to the center with a large one, where the works are easily available to ordinary Americans.
