The New Four Modernizations (NFM) synchronous development strategy proposed by the Chinese government is an important part of Chinese modernization and is of great significance in promoting the sustainable and high-quality development of the social economy. This paper aims to provide a framework for analyzing the dynamic evolution pattern of China’s NFM synchronous development. We expounded on the theoretical basis of China’s NFM synchronous development strategy. Then, the entropy method and convergence model were used to analyze the dynamic pattern and evolution trend of the NFM synchronous development in China. The findings are as follows: (1) In terms of the current situation of NFM development, China’s new urbanization and industrialization were in the middle stage, while informationization and agricultural modernization were in the initial stage of rapid development. (2) The level of China’s NFM synchronous development continued to improve, but the problem of unbalanced, uncoordinated, and unsynchronized development remained prominent. There were great differences in the development levels of China’s new urbanization, industrialization, informationization, and agricultural modernization, which showed that there was a problem of unbalanced and unsynchronized development within China’s NFM. On the other hand, the synchronous development level of NFM in the eastern, central, and western regions of China showed a spatial pattern of decline although the eastern region was clearly higher than the central and western regions; this revealed that the regional development of NFM in China was unbalanced and uncoordinated. (3) China’s NFM synchronous development has significant σ-convergence and β-convergence, indicating that backward regions are catching up and regional differences will gradually narrow in the future. This study is helpful in understanding the current situation as well as the dynamic pattern and future evolution trend of NFM synchronous development in emerging countries such as China.

“…Hence, the authority of traditional media and the communication flow of new media can be combined to guide public opinion in the right direction [7]. The media has also become an important channel for the Chinese Communist Party and the government to reach and serve the masses, partly explaining the high level of citizen cohesion [8]. Particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, converged media played a big role in communicating epidemic prevention measures and national policies owing to activity restrictions and the need to maintain distance [9].…”

Media convergence is considered an effective way to alleviate the decline of traditional media audiences. Although media convergence has nearly swept through the world's foremost traditional media, studies reflecting its effects on individuals at the micro level are lacking. Therefore, this study established a multidimensional perceived media convergence scale to measure the actual perception of media convergence from the audience's perspective. To achieve this, a comprehensive field survey was conducted in a county in southwestern China, yielding a sample of 966 participants. Study 1 used exploratory factor analysis and a multidimensional graded response model (MGRM) to optimize the item pool. Study 2 then tested the reliability and validity of the scale using confirmatory factor analysis and a MGRM. Moreover, the entire sample was tested and analyzed for the measurement accuracy of this scale. The final reliable scale contains 24 items in six dimensions: communication power, influence power, guiding power, credibility power, political propaganda power, and service power. The scale is double validated and has good robustness and extensibility. Based on this scale, future research can provide a deep understanding of which groups of people perceive media convergence in what way and conduct causal inference or mechanism analysis in conjunction with the audience's behaviors.
