Abstract: Translation, as a cultural, political and economic activity, is an important means of international communication. Its status becomes prominent against the background of the increasingly fierce competition between the global soft power and the global hard power. “National translation capacity” as a new concept contributes to the expansion of the theoretical horizons of translation studies and is in line with the spirit of shaping national discourse in the international arena.
