Annotation

This essay demonstrates that Chinese newspaper articles from the 'People's Daily', published between 1980 and 1991, cover differently reports of riots according to their occurrence in hostile or friendly nations, employing rhetorical strategies that reflect the ideological framework of the People's Republic of China.
