As a concrete medium for narrating Chinese stories and spreading the Chinese voice，domestic Chinese television dramas have gradually expanded their audience from the Chinese diaspora and Asia to a more diverse global audience，becoming an important tool for promoting Chinese culture abroad and fostering mutual understanding between China and other countries. The international dissemination of Chinese TV dramas has gone through three stages of development：the 1980s and 1990s，the early 21st century，and the period from 2010 to the present. It has undergone profound changes in terms of the scale，channels，methods，and subjects of dissemination. In this process，Chinese film and television enterprises have been influenced by transformations in media technology，dissemination forms，and content production. They have made innovative explorations in localization，digitalization，and platformization while expanding their international communication business，but have also encountered a series of challenges. At present，the international communication of Chinese TV dramas is in the ascendant and has formed a good development trend in terms of communication scale，distribution scope，and popular themes. However，due to differences in regional culture，production mode，and other factors，the external communication of domestic audio-visual products has not yet achieved a leap from “quantity” to “quality” breakthrough. It is still weak in terms of international market competitiveness，national social influence，and international value guidance. It is urgent to do a good job in communication path and audience research，improve international marketing capabilities from the aspects of channels and content，and use multi-platform，multi-network，and multimedia to enhance cultural confidence in Chinese culture.
