Abstract：China has taken a unique political path different from Western capitalism, and due to differences in consciousness and cognition, native English speakers find it difficult to understand some of China's political concepts based on their own context. For a considerable period of time, the West has had a deep misunderstanding of China, promoting China's threat theory in the international community and maliciously smearing China's image -“the sick man of East Asia”. In response to the misunderstanding of Western countries, China emphasizes external propaganda work and strives to tell the story of China well, which is of great significance for shaping a fair and three-dimensional image of China.
