Regional image serves as a microcosm of the national image,promoting the regional development.Since the proposal of the"Belt and Road"initiative in 2013,Shaanxi,as the starting point of the ancient Silk Road,has seen rapid economic development and is increasingly attracting attention both domestically and internationally.In light of this,the study collected and organized English reports related to Shaanxi published in the mainstream media of the five Central Asian countries from September 2013 to September 2023,to construct a corpus of English reports related to Shaanxi by the mainstream media of the five Central Asian countries.It applies Fairclough s three-dimensional framework to conduct an analysis on news discourse.The findings reveal that the mainstream media of the five Central Asian countries have depicted a positive and proactive partner image of Shaanxi in their reports.These reports are grounded in factual information and exhibit a constructive and objective stance.Quotations are primarily sourced from Chinese media,which demonstrates the mutual trust between China and five Central Asian countries.This study provides valuable insights for Shaanxi province in constructing a positive image in international communication,promoting its external promotion and exchange,and fostering a favorable atmosphere for international public opinion.
