Abstract

China and Thailand have maintained friendly relations for 45 years since the establishment of their diplomatic relations, and have close contacts in economic, political and cultural aspects. Among them, cultural communication is of more concern to people, and the transmission of TV dramas is an essential way for Chinese people to understand Thailand and the Thai people. It has been 17 years since the first Thai drama was introduced into China. Although there was a downturn, the spread of Thai drama in China has been given new vigor since 2014. This paper focuses on an analysis of the spread of Thai drama in China in the past five years. The shift of broadcasting platform from TV channels to online platforms facilitated the dissemination of Thai TV dramas, and the vigorous development of Thai Boys Love dramas attracted a larger audience in China. Also, governmental policy support and some other factors increased the cultural communication between China and Thailand.
