A Contrastive Study on the Proximization of Chinese and American Military News Reports A Case Study of the USS Connecticut Collision in the South China Sea
Based on Chinese and American military news reports on USS Connecticut collision in the South China Sea, this paper uses proximization theory as the theoretical framework to make a contrastive study of the discourse strategies from the two media's reports on the same event from spatial-temporal-axiological perspective. The findings suggest that Chinese and American main-stream media, for the sake of their own interests and ideologies, apply different proximization strategies to report the same mili-tary event with the purpose of creating a public opinion environment that meets their own interests and thus influencing or even manipulating audiences' perceptions, stances and emotional intentions.
