Abstract

This study examines the presentation of the image of the United States in 874 news stories carried in five Chinese newspapers – from a framing perspective. It yields three major findings:1）The political image of the United States is presented by the Chinese press in a relatively balanced fashion, depicted as one that embodies contradictory attributes: positive and negative, strong but aggressive, democratic but hypocritical;2）The economic image of the United States is presented as one that is undergoing a recession but full of hope in recovery; 3）The cultural image is one that is diverse, free, democratic, advanced in science and technology, but hegemonic and biased.
