Abstract

In the era of globalization, the construction of national identity is a common problem faced by all multi-ethnic countries. Each country also takes various countermeasures in its own political and social environment. These policies and measures are not only based on the differences of different social conditions of different countries, but also have common and universal significance. Critical reflection and absorption of these experiences can provide some reference and reference value for the construction of Chinese national identity. This paper is based on Huntington's Who Are We? From the definition of American national characteristics, this paper analyzes the multiple challenges faced by American national characteristics and its future development trend, so as to get a further understanding of the crisis of national characteristics and the construction of Chinese national identity.
