Abstract: The intercultural communication and media representation of sports serves as a major field for international communication practices in the social media era. It argues that President Xi Jinping's address on May 31st, 2021 should lead as a guidance for China's innovative construction of the international communication competence for sports, with a theoretical transition from “international communication” to “strategic communication”, by way of locating the social context of “global China”, constructing cultural idea of “transcultural communication” and configuring the “strategic communication” agents. It calls for a polyphonous national image branding on “active China”, “germinative China” and “youth China” with its promotion in sports industry. The upgrade of international communication competence for sports assists the construction and integration of China's overall international communication competence.

Key words: international communication for sports, strategic communication, transcultural communication
