This article analyses Australian media’s coverage of China’s efforts to contain COVID-19. The article is a critical discourse analysis of the major news stories, documentaries, opinions, and analyses published in the entire array of Australian media, including both television and radio programs from the taxpayer-funded public broadcaster the ABC, commercial media outlets such as Murdoch’s The Australian newspaper and Nine Entertainment’s The Sydney Morning Herald, and several tabloid papers. By identifying the key themes, perspectives, and angles used in these reports and narratives, this article finds that the more credible media outlets have mostly framed China’s efforts in political and ideological terms, rather than as an issue of public health. In comparison, the tabloid media—including commercial television, shock jock radio, and newspapers—have resorted to conspiratorial, racist, and Sino-phobic positions. In both instances, the coverage of China’s experience is a continuation and embodiment of the “China threat” and “Chinese influence” discourses that have now dominated the Australian media for a number of years.

Is China bent on world domination? Although Americans perceived the Soviet Union as posing the greatest Cold War-era military challenge, they also periodically feared a “China threat” during those decades. Since the days of Mao, the PRC’s penchant for staging parades showing off its...

China Threat

AMERICA’S ATTENTION IS RIVETED on China and Islam—and in both cases the dominant emotion is fear. Some of this is fear of the unknown, but much of it stems from the half-truths and distortions we have created in our minds and media, particularly about the China Threat and Islamic Terrorism. A powerful segment of American policymakers and scholars is urging the country to prepare for supposedly inevitable wars with Chinese and Muslim enemies or to admit that the battles have already begun despite denials on all sides. Predictions of conflict usually rest on faulty assumptions about China’s relentless drive for international dominance, Islam’s inherent belligerence, and history’s verdict that major shifts in the balance of power trigger disastrous military responses....
