China's military strategic discourse, because of its cultural particularity and inclusiveness, deserves to be taken seriously by the United States, the West and even the entire world, and cannot be judged by oneself. Because there are moral doubts and logical loopholes in the US military strategic discourse, China and the United States and even the international community must carry out comprehensive, in-depth, and detailed military strategic dialogue and criticism. Looking forward to the future development of discourse research,He stillPointed out that there are differences in principles and values between contemporary Chinese discourse and Western discourse. There are certain flaws in Western discourse research, such as the binary opposition between discourse and context in research methods, and the research objectives are limited to discourse. Contemporary Chinese scholars should devote themselves to the study of practical issues closely related to China's development and view Chinese discourse issues from a developmental perspective.

The “Confucius Institute Plan”, “AIIB”, “One Belt and One Road”, etc. reflect the global strategic layout of Chinese discourse in physical, ideological, political, cultural, economic and other spaces.
w88 casino of International Relations of w88 casinoProfessorZhao Hongyan introduced the latest research on "Visual Discourse of South Korea's Public Diplomacy towards China". This study is based on the increasing economic and cultural exchanges between China and South Korea and the political and historical background of China’s “One Belt, One Road” strategy, based on South KoreaKBSTV station2015Launched at the beginning of the yearSuper ChinaAs the research object, the program comprehensively uses analytical methods in the fields of linguistics, communication, and political science to deeply explore South Korea's political and diplomatic stance and strategies towards China.

w88 casino of International Relations of w88 casinoAssociate ProfessorTan Youzhi took "China's International Discourse: Fighting without Fighting and Fighting Without Fighting" as the theme. Based on the case analysis of Internet language applications and the dissemination of Western cultural works, he proposed four issues that should be paid attention to in the interdisciplinary research of discourse analysis, namely: what is the right to speak, how to fight for the right to speak, the ways to fight for it, and the results of the fight for discourse.himThe humorous language and unique insights brought a lot of inspiration to the participants.
Feng JieyunthenIntroduced "Research on Discursive Power in Multinational Corporations". After sorting out and summarizing the existing literature, this study innovatively applied the ideas of ancient Chinese Yin and Yang philosophy. Taking a multinational company located in the world's top 500 companies as a case study, the study proposes a theoretical framework of "the use of central discourse in multinational companies in the post-colonial era". On the one hand, this framework adopts the concept of dynamic flow in the Yin-Yang theory, and at the same time adds the dimension of sociolinguistic power inequality. This study not only has theoretical innovation, but also has practical reference value for multinational companies to respect localization, including respect for local languages, and how to develop in the host country in the long term.
It can be seen from the wonderful speeches of the guests and the lively discussions of the participants that discourse analysis originated from the study of linguistics. It has now transcended the traditional perspective of language ontology and expanded to various fields such as diplomacy, military, medical, culture, and multinational enterprises. The successful holding of this forum is of great significance in promoting interdisciplinary dialogue and the integration of theory and practice in discourse research.
