“…It not only reflects the positive changes in China’s global health governance outlook but also is an attempt by China to make up for shortcomings in global health governance with a transformative attitude. Similar to the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) promoted by the Chinese government ( Chan, 2020 ), the GCHA concept can help promote a positive image for China. That being said, the GCHA concept may not appeal to other countries.…”

‘A global community of health for all’ has become a dominant concept in China’s global health governance system. Although this concept has been investigated by several studies in different domains, little attention has been given to its discursive legitimation in China’s media communication from a linguistic perspective. To fill this gap, the present study employs positive discourse analysis to investigate how the aforementioned concept is legitimised via the predominant discourses associated with COVID-19 in state-run Chinese English-language newspapers. The findings show that the Chinese news media attempted to formulate the positive discourses, including cooperation as a win-win solution, people’s lives and well-being as the priority and science as the spirit, though the discourses may not resonate with some countries. The findings shed light on the use of language by the media in promoting official ideologies, projecting China’s national image and improving China’s international relations amid a global health crisis.

“…In her 2018 policy address, the chief executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Carrie Lam, mentioned that in strengthening cooperation with the mainland, Hong Kong and the mainland have built many cooperation platforms, which is more conducive to expanding the scope of cooperation, such as innovation and technology, creative industries and other fields. The signing of CEPA 4 has built a good bridge for mutual investment in commodity and service markets, which is conducive to strengthening the links between Hong Kong and the mainland and promoting integrated development (Chan, 2020). In addition, a greater proportion of Hong Kong's investment in the mainland flows to Guangdong Province, so Hong Kong's direct investment in Guangdong Province has increased very rapidly.…”

“…In 2003, Hong Kong underwent a great impact on economic performance due to the outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), leading to the low popularity towards the newly established SAR Government. In order to stabilize public confidence, the central government and the SAR concluded a free trade agreement, the "Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement (CEPA)" [48]. The agreement changed the model of regional integration from business-oriented to government-oriented, implying that Hong Kong would be gradually involved in the national planning by the Chinese government.…”

“…However, there were various difficulties in the CEPA implementation due to the localities' protectionism. The local governments were worried that the influx of investments and professional services might harm the counterparts in their jurisdictions [48]. Although the central government agreed to implement the CEPA across the whole country, only few localities had interests in attracting the business sectors from Hong Kong [48].…”

When the Chinese government proposed the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)in 2015, Hong Kong was positioned as a “super-connector” responsible for bridging the mainland and global markets and was planned to integrate into the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macau Greater Bay Area. The objective of this article is to analyze the Chinese designs to promote its BRI collaboration through Hong Kong to enhance foreign confidence and ensure that the related institutional transplantation is sustainable in other countries and that it is on par with international standards. However, the rise of neighboring cities and the changing Sino–American relationship in recent years has provided uncertainties for the future development of Hong Kong. Due to these factors, this article argues that Hong Kong may not effectively share the functions in the BRI planning designed by the Chinese authorities. Because Hong Kong’s role and how it influences the policy outcomes within the BRI framework have not been thoroughly studied, this article will supplement the current literature vacuum on this specific issue and its future development.
