279. Name: Song Nan Title: A Study on China-related Reports of Al Jazeera English Website between 2017 and 2019 Institution: Beijing Foreign Studies University Country: China Date: 2019 Language: Chinese Abstract: As the world’s second largest economy, China’s rapid rise has attracted worldwide attention. However, the negative depiction of China in the international community has never stopped, and China’s national image still needs to be improved. From the perspective of international relations, China and the Arab world have deep historical relations and maintain friendly exchanges and trade cooperation. Although Al Jazeera English broadcasts from the Arab world, its international influence should be taken into consideration. Therefore, the China-related reports of Al Jazeera English not only affect the bilateral relations between China and Arab countries, but also affect the global public perception of China’s image. Aiming to add value to the insufficient research on China in global mainstream media, this study investigates how the international community views China through media reports. It can also provide direction and support for China to build its own national image and strengthen its international communication capacity building. Guided by framing theory and using content and discourse analysis methodology, the study analyzes the characteristics of Al Jazeera English-related reports on China’s image between 1 October 2017 and 31 January 2019.
