Abstract
New media have profoundly reshaped the context for disseminating innovative theories. This paper aims to elucidate that the rapid development of digital media presents both significant opportunities and formidable challenges for fostering a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation. In response to these dual aspects, this study systematically analyzes the core mechanisms and practical possibilities of how digital media can contribute to this goal from three dimensions: top-level design, civic literacy, and platform responsibility.
