The global landscape is undergoing profound transformations, demanding new frameworks for global governance.Against this backdrop, China's comprehensive legal development, articulated through Xi Jinping Thought on the Rule of Law, offers a vital contribution to achieving a community of shared future for humanity.

This is not merely an inward-looking policy. It represents the organic link between stable domestic governance and the strengthening of international rules, seeking to infuse the global order with greater sustainable fairness and justice.In order to contribute constructively to the global rule of law, its communication must be grounded in innovative mechanisms and tangible results.

Articulating China's legal philosophy that resonates with the world

Xi's Thought offers a comprehensive framework that integrates domestic and foreign-related rule of law, people-centered development and global cooperation. To enhance its international communication, this framework must be presented in a way that resonates with international audiences.

This requires highlighting universal values embedded in the Thought, such as accountability, anti-corruption, access to justice and the protection of rights, while also explaining China's unique institutional innovations in clear and accessible terms.

Rather than relying on technical language or institutional terminology unfamiliar to global readers, communicators should emphasize how China's legal reforms address common global concerns as improving governance efficiency, enhancing social equity, strengthening legal predictability for businesses and fostering sustainable development. These themes bridge cultural and political differences and help international audiences understand China's legal logic through shared human aspirations.

Strengthening professional and practitioner cooperation

Communication of the Rule of law is not only about media narratives;we must build platforms where legal scholars, practitioners, judges and policymakers can engage in substantive cooperation. China should expand partnerships with international think tanks, law schools and professional associations to promote research exchanges, joint training and comparative law studies.

Initiatives such as international commercial courts, established by the Supreme People's Court, the International Organization for Mediation headquartered in China's Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and China's digital rule-of-law innovations offer rich case studies for global discussion.

Sharing China's experiences, whether in smart courts, legal informatization, or administrative law reform, creates opportunities for mutual learning and helps shape a more diverse and inclusive global rule-of-law discourse.

Using digital tools to enhance global communication capacity

In this digital age, international communication is inseparable from technology. To reach wider audiences, especially young people, China should leverage digital storytelling, multilingual platforms, short-video communication, interactive explainers and artificial intelligence-assisted translation.

Presenting China's rule-of-law achievements through compelling case narratives, documentary-style visuals, or expert commentary can help the global public better grasp the practical impact of China's legal reforms.

Strengthening data-driven communication strategies,such as audience analytics and differentiated content planning,can ensure that messages are both targeted and effective. At the same time, it must be developed responsibly.

As digital platforms increasingly rely on algorithms and large-scale data processing, it is essential that communication practices strictly comply with relevant laws and policies,including data security, personal information protection, cross-border data governance and platform regulation. By integrating creativity with rigorous data governance, China can build a modern, trustworthy and legally compliant international communication system.

Demonstrating verifiable rule-of-law achievements

The most powerful demonstration of a functional legal system is its ability to foster economic growth and guarantee predictability for global partners. For the international communication of Xi Jinping Thought on the Rule of Law to be truly persuasive, it must be anchored in tangible andevidence-based achievements.

This includes China's advances in judicial transparency, public databases of court decisions, international arbitration and mediation and nationwide legal-aid programs. It also encompasses institutional innovations like smart courts, digital administrative governance and strengthened mechanisms for rights protection.

Equally important and often overlooked is China's significant progress in law-based economic governance. By continuously improving the business environment through legislation, enforcement and regulatory reform, China has enhanced the predictability, fairness and accessibility of its market system.

Illustrations include strengthened intellectual property protection, transparent administrative licensing, streamlined compliance procedures, stronger legal safeguards for foreign investment and development underthe Belt and Road Initiative. These developments have supported China's economic resilience and contributed to stable andlong-term growth, showing that high-quality economic development and high-standard rule of law reinforce each other.

By articulating its philosophy clearly, promoting meaningful exchange, embracing responsible digital communication and showcasing concrete achievements, China can help deepen global understanding of Xi Jinping Thought on the Rule of Law and advance the shared cause of human rule-of-law civilization.
