ABSTRACT

The "Belt and Road Initiative" has helped China strengthen economic and trade cooperation, and promote cultural exchanges with countries along the route. As an important city in China, it is a matter of great concern how Shanghai's cultural communication and development are under this broad framework and how its cultural promotion and outreach can be improved. Under the guidance of the "Shanghai Serving China's 'the Belt and Road Initiative ' and the Action Plan of Bridgehead Role", this study comprehensively combs the current situation of Shanghai culture and its going-out from the overseas perception through a questionnaire survey of foreigners in Shanghai, understands the current situation of Shanghai's cultural development, and then puts forward the effective cultural path and strategies for Shanghai in service to the national initiative. The study points out that Shanghai is facing more opportunities than the cultural challenges and conflicts brought by the initiative. Given that the respondents were all foreigners in Shanghai, the representativeness of the questionnaire may be limited. However, such a small-scale survey is of certain significance to our understanding of the problems existing in the cultural promotion and communication in Shanghai.
