A study on the construction of Chinas national image in international poverty alleviation reporting: discourse analysis based on Chinese and foreign mainstream media
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This study compares and analyses Chinese mainstream media and European and American mainstream media reports on China's foreign poverty alleviation events through the lens of critical discourse analysis theory and adopts a corpus-based research method. With the help of the LexisNexis database, this study constructs a special corpus, collects and analyses a large number of news reports, and reveals the political stance and the construction of China's national image in different media reports. Chinese mainstream media constructed a win-win, open and sharing national image that focuses on people's livelihood and human rights; European and American mainstream media affirmed that China is a contributor to global development, but also partially distorted the image of a China that attempts to dominate and is not conducive to world economic peace.
