Abstract

This is a comparative study of official diplomatic speeches regarding COVID-19, released by spokespersons for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and documents from the United States Department of State China Archive. It explores how these speeches and documents reflect the US–China relations and the conduct of policies surrounding digital media in the two countries. We focus on the period from the start of the Wuhan lockdown, 20 January 2020, to the city’s reopening on 8 April, and use several forms of content analysis to analyse the documents: Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic modelling, sentiment network analysis and word clouds. We argue that the diplomatic relationship and political ideologies adopted by different political and media systems can have a major impact upon media policy implementation and guidance.
新冠肺炎疫情期间中美媒体政策分析与外交互动:比较视角
本文将中华人民共和国外交部发言人就新冠肺炎疫情发表的官方外交讲话与美国国务院中国档案馆的文件进行对比研究。它探讨了这些演讲和文件如何反映中美关系以及两国围绕数字媒体的政策行为。我们重点关注从2020年1月20日武汉封城开始到4月8日武汉重新开放这段时间,并使用几种形式的内容分析来分析文档:潜在狄利克雷分配(LDA)主题建模、情感网络分析和词云。我们认为,不同政治和媒介制度所采取的外交关系和政治意识形态对媒介政策的实施和指导具有重大影响。
