“…In reference to the results of previous studies (e.g. Zinser, 2018; Zhang, 2016; Golan and Lukito, 2015) we expect that the media tend to frame China in terms of the potential benefits of economic cooperation or in terms of systemic competition, while it remains to be determined which one of these two framing foci will prevail.…”

“…Surprisingly, there are only a few studies investigating German media coverage of China (e.g. Zinser, 2018; Thimm, 2017; Bieber, 2011; Richter and Gebauer, 2010). The most comprehensive publication in this context is the Chinese-German image report, which comprises a variety of studies that examine the image of China and corresponding stereotypes in German media between 2000 and 2013 (Vogel and Jia, 2017).…”

“…360ff.). In a more recent study, Zinser (2018) compares the framing of China in German newspaper articles published between February 20 and March 31, 2003 with those of the corresponding 40 days in 2013. The author observes that coverage has changed from strongly negative in 2003 to ambiguous in 2013.…”

“…The author observes that coverage has changed from strongly negative in 2003 to ambiguous in 2013. She identifies four frames: (1) China’s gridlock, (2) two sides of a coin, (3) conflicting goals and (4) China’s change (Zinser, 2018: p. 178ff.).…”

“…China has become an important player in global trade and international politics, especially since its accession to the WTO in 2001 (Huotari et al, 2016). At the same time, media interest for China has increased and Western media tend to frame China as an economic and ideological competitor (Zinser, 2018; Thimm, 2017; Wilke and Achatzi, 2011). We strive to contribute to this body of research by examining whether German media interest in China has changed over time and which frames have been dominant in German China coverage.…”

Western countries’ relations with China are characterised by a dichotomy of partnership and conflict, of rapprochement and demarcation. To date, research lacks longitudinal studies that examine how these economic and political tendencies become manifest in the image of China conveyed by Western media. Taking Germany as an example, this study aims to shed light on the development of China coverage in print media between 2000 and 2019. Following a triangulating mixed-method approach, the results of computational topic 1 modelling (N = 55,893) are complemented by semi-standardised interviews with China correspondents. A framing analysis shows that China was depicted as a valuable economic partner until a rivalry frame started to become dominant in 2016/17. This shift was accompanied by a significant increase in media interest.
