Abstract The overseas discourse spectrum of the Chinese path to modernization model refers to a collection of discourses by overseas academic circles that express the Chinese path to modernization model based on the perspective of discourse cognition as a theoretical framework with both integration and discreteness. This discourse content and cognitive analysis are complementary and closely related, and follow the compound path intersecting historical institutionalism and structural functionalism, striving to provide a profound explanation of the Chinese path to modernization model. To a certain extent, this interpretation process can also be looked as the construction process of discourse cognition. Therefore, the overseas discourse spectrum construction of the Chinese path to modernization model can also be understood as: it is a construction process, in which overseas scholars, based on the dimension of time and space, follow the historical practice of the Chinese path to modernization model since the reform and opening up, and use discourse as a cognitive tool to narrate relevant propositions such as the characteristics, evolution, and application of this model, and different cognitive theories are generated according to the development timeline of this model. Following the origin of construction of overseas discourse cognition, the “copying theory” based on the Western-centric cognitive stance in the 1990s, the “local theory” based on the Marxist stance in the 2000s, and the “transcendence theory” based on the modernization achievements of China in the new era from the 2010s to the present were correspondingly generated. Generally speaking, these propositions represent the cognitive mainstream of overseas academic circles on the Chinese path to modernization model. Whether it is academic affirmation or academic prejudice, as long as its irrational components are scientifically eliminated, in a certain sense, it can provide academic enlightenment and reference for the domestic academic community to carry out relevant research.
