Abstract

Western countries’ relations with China are characterised by a dichotomy of partnership and conflict, of rapprochement and demarcation. To date, research lacks longitudinal studies that examine how these economic and political tendencies become manifest in the image of China conveyed by Western media. Taking Germany as an example, this study aims to shed light on the development of China coverage in print media between 2000 and 2019. Following a triangulating mixed-method approach, the results of computational topic 1 modelling (N = 55,893) are complemented by semi-standardised interviews with China correspondents. A framing analysis shows that China was depicted as a valuable economic partner until a rivalry frame started to become dominant in 2016/17. This shift was accompanied by a significant increase in media interest.

从合作伙伴到竞争对手:2000年至2019年德国纸媒报道中中国媒体框架的变化

西方国家与中国的关系以伙伴与冲突、和解与划清界限的二分法为特征。迄今为止，研究缺乏对这些经济和政治倾向如何在西方媒体所传达的中国形象中体现出来的纵向研究。本研究以德国为例，旨在揭示2000年至2019年间纸媒中国报道的发展情况。根据三角混合方法，计算主题1模型(N = 55,893)的结果通过与中国记者的半标准化访谈进行补充。一项框架分析显示，在2016/17年竞争框架开始占据主导地位之前，中国一直被描绘成一个有价值的经济伙伴。这一转变伴随着媒体兴趣的显著增加。
