Abstract

"The Belt and Road" is a national top-level cooperation initiative proposed by China with the goal of establishing "a community with a shared future for mankind" and transcending geopolitics and ideology to achieve win-win results. Around "the Belt and Road", the West has formed positive cognition such as "Chinese Opportunity", "Channel to Realize Ideal Goals", "Oriental Leading Model", and "Global Sample". However, due to the limitations of "stereotypes" and "zero-sum thinking", some people in the West still have misunderstandings about "the Belt and Road Initiative". To guide them out of cognitive misunderstandings and reduce the cognitive differences between China and the West, we can start from cognitive theory, analyze cognitive performance and its causes, and adopt corresponding strategies and methods.

Keywords
