Abstract

From the perspective of DHA, this paper analyzes the discourse construction of foreign mainstream media’s China-related reports based on quantitative corpus analysis. The study selects China-related reports of mainstream media in Japan and the United States as the corpus, and carries out a detailed excavation and analysis of news discourse from three aspects: discourse themes, discursive strategies and language representations. Furthermore, it is found that the media’s China-related reports of the two countries cover many topics such as politics, economy and security, which reflects the attention of foreign mainstream media to China in all aspects. At the same time, in the process of reporting, the media of the two countries try to play up the “China threat theory” and stigmatize China through the strategies of nomination, predication, argumentation and perspectivization, thus affecting the positive spread of China’s national image overseas.
