Abstract

Cultural exchange is an integral means of showing a country’s image. From the perspective of cross-cultural communication, cultural exchange between two countries should be equal and bidirectional. However, at present, a common phenomenon is occurring among many French majors, in which they are unable to portray the Chinese culture accurately in French. This article analyses “Chinese culture aphasia” from three aspects: specific performance, main causes, and corresponding coping strategies.
