%X This study aims to explore the strategic significance and implementation pathways for international students in the international communication of the ideals of Chinese-style Modernization. The research finds that international students, by virtue of their unique status as ¡°the Other within,¡± possess an irreplaceable advantage in dispelling external stereotypes and presenting the concepts of China¡¯s development through personalized micro-narratives and cross-cultural interpretation. However, their communication practices largely remain at a spontaneous, fragmented, and superficial level. The core issue lies in the structural disconnect between the students¡¯ ¡°depth of experience¡± and their ¡°sophistication of interpretation.¡± Addressing this core contradiction, this study proposes that the construction of future pathways must achieve a strategic upgrade from simple ¡°communication empowerment¡± to systematic ¡°interpretation cultivation,¡± helping students complete a transformation of identity through profound reforms in the educational model. The study argues that the highest strategic value of international students is not in shaping them into propagandists for China¡¯s official stance. Rather, it lies in cultivating them, through long-term and in-depth educational interaction, into a ¡°transnational cognitive community¡± capable of profoundly understanding and rationally evaluating China¡¯s development path. This would enable them to become a bulwark in their home societies against extremist narratives and a force for promoting rational dialogue, thus making a far-reaching contribution to the construction of a more peaceful and rational global conversational space.
