Intersubjective Communication in Higher Education between China and the B&R Countries: A Perspective of Cultural Transmission

Intersubjective communication refers to the interactive communication between subjects for mutual understanding, identification, and solutions to the problems. The objectives of this research were to explore the procedures of cultural transmission by studying intersubjective communication in higher education between China and “Belt and Road” countries. The researcher adopted semi-interview with 13 participants and analyzed through MAXQDA software (V. 2020) and text analysis based on Yuri M. Lotman’s dialogue. The major finding indicated that intersubjective communication in higher education between China and “Belt and Road” countries works through contact and selection, internalization and integration, and transmission.
