Abstract

This study uses corpus critical discourse analysis to examine the reporting strategies and affective attitudes of Malaysian media towards Chinese modernization. The analysis is based on 192 related news reports and aims to reveal how Malaysian media interpret and construct the discourse of Chinese modernization. The study finds that Malaysian media reports show a diversity of attitudes, with positive and neutral reports dominating and negative reports occupying a small proportion, which needs counter-stigmatization. The study emphasizes the importance of constructing the discourse of Chinese modernization and points out adopting flexible and diversified strategies to construct a foreign discourse system. This study provides new perspectives for understanding the concept of Chinese modernization in the context of globalization and highlights the importance of strengthening media exchanges and cooperation between China and Malaysia.
