摘要

新冠肺炎疫情在一党制国家中华人民共和国的出现,对中国共产党的政治合法性构成了严重威胁。这种威胁源于中美之间日益激烈的竞争,促使中共发起攻势,以赢得有关中国在疫情爆发中所扮演角色的叙述。通过传统媒体和社交媒体,中国外交官开展了一场积极的宣传活动,以证明中国是疫情的解决方案,而不是原因。此外,中共还发表了一篇关于中国政治制度在遏制疫情方面的优越性的论述,并将其与自由民主国家的反应进行了对比。本文的结论是,尽管中国媒体宣传活动的主要目标是在国内塑造对中共的好感,但中共也关心通过争取国际社会对其应对疫情的认可来增强其在国外的合法性。

COVID-19, the Chinese communist party, and the search for legitimacy in the international arena
Abstract The emergence of COVID-19 in the People’s Republic of China, a one-party state, posed a severe threat to the political legitimacy of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). This threat had its origins in the context of a growing rivalry between China and the United States, prompting the CCP to launch an offensive to win the battle for narratives about the nation’s role in the outbreak. Through both traditional and social media, Chinese diplomats carried out an aggressive campaign to demonstrate that China was the solution and not the cause of the pandemic. In addition, the CCP generated a discourse about the superiority of the Chinese political system in containing the pandemic, contrasting it with the response of liberal democracies. This article concludes that although the primary goal of the Chinese media campaign was to shape a favorable opinion of the CCP at home, the party was also concerned with bolstering its legitimacy abroad by courting international approval for its handling of the pandemic.
