中国如何利用 AI 微短剧影响国内外舆论
How China harnesses AI microdramas to shape public opinion at home and abroad
北京正扩大在宣传活动中使用 AI 制作短视频和微短剧，以强化思想工作、引导舆论。新一波微短剧将中国文化、政策、发展成就和革命历史融入故事，多由宣传部门和官方媒体与制作公司及数字创作者合作制作。最新案例《铁记》由中国人民解放军新闻媒体中心制作，首集于上周四发布。
Beijing is rapidly scaling up the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to produce short-form videos and microdramas in its publicity campaigns, aligning with directives stressing technology’s role in strengthening ideological work and guiding public opinion.
In contrast to sensational tropes dominating AI content across Chinese media platforms – such as Cinderella romance, rebirth for revenge and post-apocalyptic survival – a new wave of AI-generated miniseries weaves Chinese culture, policies and initiatives, developmental achievements and revolutionary history into engaging storylines.
They are mostly produced by Chinese publicity authorities and official media, usually in cooperation with private production studios and digital creators.
The latest example is Tie Ji De, or The Iron Remembers, an AI microdrama created by the news media centre of the People’s Liberation Army. Its first episode was released last Thursday.
