Abstract: This study examines the evolving landscape of communication among aging populations and the youth in the context of political discourse within Shenzhen, China. Through a mixed-methods approach, it explores how generational differences influence political communication strategies and participation, against the backdrop of Shenzhen’s rapid urban and socio-economic development. Initial findings suggest that while older generations prefer traditional media and face-to-face interactions, the youth are leaning towards digital platforms, indicating a digital generational divide. This divide not only reflects differing communication preferences but also varied political engagement and understanding levels, highlighting the need for inclusive communication strategies that bridge this gap.
