This report focuses on the international communication strategy of China’s cultural heritage in the context of the ‘Belt and Road’ initiative. Firstly，the report examines the definition and value of cultural heritage，and discusses the significance of international dissemination of cultural heritage in the context of the Belt and Road Initiative. Secondly，the report focuses on the core concepts of ‘digitisation’ and ‘symbolisation’，and explores innovative strategies for the international dissemination of China’s cultural heritage in the context of the Belt and Road Initiative. The report points out that over-commercialisation and digital divide，information distortion and cultural misinterpretation，as well as language barriers in cross-cultural communication are the main challenges that need to be tackled in the international dissemination of Chinese cultural heritage in the digital era. The report suggests that the innovative communication of digital technology and the symbolic communication of cultural heritage can break the limitations of time and space，and enhance the understanding and acceptance of international audiences of China’s outstanding traditional culture. In the process of further promoting the ‘Belt and Road’ initiative，digitisation and symbolisation should be the important communication strategies that China’s international cultural heritage communication needs to insist on adopting and promoting.
