| Sino-US trade friction stems from the huge trade deficit and structural structural issues and differences on the one hand,and from the containment of emerging cold powers by the new Cold War thinking hegemonic countries on the other.As the scale of goods imposed by the US on China's tariffs continues to expand,the trade friction between China and the United States has rapidly escalated into technology wars,economic wars,financial wars,and geopolitical wars.On the surface,trade frictions between the two sides appear to be in the economic field.In fact,they are mainly based on suppressing Huawei,ZTE and other leading companies that represent China's scientific and technological forces,and take into account political and military fields.The constant friction between the two sides has affected the global trade chain,and the European market is inevitable.The study started with two English-language magazines in the European market,starting from the March 1st,2018 Sino-U.S.Trade friction to the December 31 st,2019 suspension of Sino-U.S.Trade friction as the research cycle.At this stage,China Daily(European Version)"And" The Economist "report on Sino-US trade friction as the research object,using a combination of quantitative and qualitative analysis methods,combined with Sino-US trade friction major node events,comparative analysis of the two newspapers in the number of reports,the length of the report,the source of the news,Similarities and differences in reporting tendencies,political issues,economic issues,scientific and technological issues,and military issues,to discuss the reporting of Sino-US trade friction by third-country media represented by Europe,and to discuss the subject of Sino-US trade friction.The reports in the European market can reflect the concerns of different media on Sino-US trade friction in the European market.The study found that,first,the two newspapers have obvious differences in terms of agenda setting."The Economist" pays more attention to China-US trade friction than China Daily,is more sensitive to changes in the situation of China-US trade friction,and has a stronger sense of setup and ability;"China Daily" reports on China-US trade friction Attention was distracted by major domestic events,reports were delayed,and responses were passive.Second,the two newspapers each have their own focus on the issue structure.The Economist is most concerned about the Taiwan issue,and often interprets China-US diplomacy by describing the Taiwan issue."China Daily" pays most attention to national security issues.Most of the articles are rebuttals of the "China threat theory" as mentioned by Western media and responses to Huawei's threat to national security.On the one hand,The Economist admits that China's economy is growing under the Sino-US trade friction,and on the other hand,expresses its concern about China's growing strength.The Economist 's concern about the technology situation in the two countries can be clearly divided into two stages.The previous stage was 2018.The Economist believes that Chinese technology companies are in a weak position due to US sanctions;the latter stage is 2019 He believes that Chinese technology companies are too strong,and the content is mostly to explore how to sanction companies that threaten national security.In the report on military expenditure,the "China Daily" is more obscure and is replaced by a report showing positive military power.The Economist takes the fact that the Chinese government seldom announces military expenditure as a powerful expression to support the "China threat theory."On the whole,the newspaper of The Economist as a third-party country's report is relatively objective,but the overall tone is "China threat",and the report contains concerns about China's growing strength;"China Daily" as China's external The important window of communication is mainly positive communication,and it also considers and refutes the "China threat theory." However,"China Daily" has lagging reports on hot events and passive reports. |
