Abstract

The present study investigated the image construction of Meng Wanzhou in media discourse. Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) was utilized as the analytical framework of the study, in which text semantics was discussed from the aspects of “association with wealth”, “details provided and details neglected”, and “negative representation”. The findings of this study were in line with Van Dijk (1995) in revealing that underlying ideologies may influence media discourse and cause ideological polarization between the ingroups and the outgroups.
