An Analysis of the Functional Relationship Between ASIO and Media in Advancing Securitization
[Research purpose]Since 2016,ASIO,head of government and media have promoted the securitization of"Chinese influ-ence",which has generated an important impact on China-Australia relationship.The research on the functional relationship among the se-curitization agents is helpful to deepening the understanding of the securitization and proposing reasonable countermeasures.[Research method]Based on an overview of the securitization process of"Chinese influence",the paper explored the functional relationship between ASIO and media through text analysis and comparative research.[Research conclusion]ASIO and the media formed a relationship of competitive detachment in terms of threat definition,and dependent symbiosis in terms of function allocation.Such relationship caused the pan-securitization of"Chinese influence"and prevented a substantive legitimization of the securitization.Thus,China should carry out de-securitization diplomacy and rebuild the mutually beneficial China-Australia relationship by building a security value identity,improving the two-track diplomatic mechanism and establishing a competitive security discourse framework.
