The formation of a community with a shared future for mankind is closely related to social
interactions among different ethnic groups, and the development of communication technologies and
ideas plays an important role in the process of forming a community. This article adopts the method
of comparative research, by analysis of the four stages of Western civilization’s communication theory,
and finds that Western civilization generally follows the basic path of technological advancement,
economic expansion and conceptual victory in the process of establishing the world’s political structure.
Delineating the historical pedigree of Western cultural communicationism helps us to reflect on how
the physical intervention of information communication technology has shaped the hierarchical
sequence of the nation-state unit. Chinese mainstream media should not only take into account the
“national identity”, but also reflect the common values of human beings when they spread to the outside
world. “China national image” and “a community with a shared future for mankind” are actually two
aspects of the same concept dissemination. When the mainstream media of China disseminates to
the outside world, “China national image” and “A community with a shared future for mankind ”
are actually two sides of the dissemination of common ideas. While disseminating China’s national
image, it is also realizing the realistic configuration of a community with a shared future for mankind.
Specifically, in terms of communication methods, both grand narratives and “micro-communication”
should be taken into consideration; in terms of communication topics, it is advisable to choose dual (multi)-directional and open themes; in terms of communication technology, a comprehensive use of
various advanced technical means should be used .
