<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">This guest lecture looks behind the scenes of Chinese foreign policy through an unexpected source: the travel tips Chinese citizens read before going abroad. China’s grand narrative—“a community with a shared future for
mankind”—now anchors its foreign policy, but what does it mean, and who belongs to this “community”? Using original research on the consular “Know Your Destination” pages for 195 countries, we show how low</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Cambria Math",serif">‑</span><span lang="EN-US">key
texts quietly answer big questions: Who are the </span><span lang="EN-US">“</span><span lang="EN-US">others,</span><span lang="EN-US">”</span><span lang="EN-US"> how should Chinese citizens interact with them, and what does a “shared future” look like in practice?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Instead of focusing on famous speeches, we look at what mid</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Cambria Math",serif">‑</span><span lang="EN-US">level bureaucrats tell ordinary travellers: which peoples are
</span><span lang="EN-US">“</span><span lang="EN-US">warm and hospitable</span><span lang="EN-US">”</span><span lang="EN-US">, who is
</span><span lang="EN-US">“</span><span lang="EN-US">introverted</span><span lang="EN-US">”</span><span lang="EN-US">, who
</span><span lang="EN-US">“</span><span lang="EN-US">loves beer</span><span lang="EN-US">”</span><span lang="EN-US">, what counts as polite or rude, how close you should stand, what colours to avoid, and what compliments people supposedly like. These bite</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Cambria Math",serif">‑</span><span lang="EN-US">sized
descriptions are daily and friendly tips, but they also shape expectations, stereotypes, and invisible hierarchies between
</span><span lang="EN-US">“</span><span lang="EN-US">us</span><span lang="EN-US">”</span><span lang="EN-US"> and
</span><span lang="EN-US">“</span><span lang="EN-US">them</span><span lang="EN-US">”</span><span lang="EN-US">.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">We show how everyday consular texts translate abstract strategic narratives into concrete advice for millions. We map Chinese portrayals of personalities, behaviors, and social norms across countries, revealing how a
vague ideal of “shared humanity” can reproduce subtle hierarchies of culture, modernity, and civility. Whether you follow China, study global communication, or just notice how power hides in ordinary language—and how the Chinese government describes others—this
work will change how you read “practical” travel information.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
