Although it is still very young, it has made some achievements. The scope of political communication is broader. In terms of disciplines, it has extended into political science, communication, journalism, sociology, psychology, etc. In terms of research topics, it covers the functions, carriers, thought, and system of political communication. In recent years, research in this field has developed rapidly, with achievements on the rise. Academic monographs exploring the framework of and the theoretical approaches to political communication in China have appeared. “Today in the globalization, political communication has become an important political strategic issue. There is no doubt that traditional political communication strategies and approaches, as well as corresponding theoretical research on political communication, are all facing new challenges” (Jing and Shi 2009).
