This paper studies the discursive construction of national image in national discourse. The editorials published during the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in China Daily are taken as the corpus of study. The results showed that the editorials successfully constructed the national image of China by employing the Affect, Judgment, and Appreciation resources in the texts. Domestically, China is constructed as being confident in solving the problem of imbalances of development, boosting people’s sense of gain, leading the whole nation to realize the Chinese dream, and having the courage to bear the responsibility to improve people’s livelihood and happiness. Internationally, China is constructed as being competent, responsible, valuing fairness and justice, seeking cooperation and mutual benefit, and leading the whole world to pursue common prosperity to build a community of shared destiny for all mankind. The constructed images are themselves the persuasive rhetorical ethos, which leads to the identification of the editorials with the audience.

Discursive Power

Summary Discursive power is the reflection of a country’s national strength and international influence. The increase of economic power does not necessarily mean the increase of discursive power. The improvement of discursive power has to be strategically designed and multidimensionally improved. Due to China’s historical experiences regarding discursive power, China is weak in many fields. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China began to pay more attention to improve its international discursive power such as expanding its discursive presence and strengthening effectiveness of its voice, changing language style, enhancing institutional power and innovating diplomatic practice. In the future, more substantive efforts will be needed such as strengthening the overall strategic layout, enhancing institutional discursive power in various fields, improving the discursive system and promoting integration of China’s major diplomatic ideas and discourse with global ones.

AbstractSince the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the party-state has established a number of policies on social organizations. Some policies are complementary, whereas some seem to be contradictory. These policies are associated with two policy approaches. The first is socially oriented, allowing social organizations the opportunity for autonomy and encouraging capacity-building. The second is political integration mainly through party-building in social organizations. The two approaches do not exist alone or in isolation. Intertwined they indicate that the Chinese party-state has begun to institutionalize an integrative control mechanism to maximize the utility of social organizations in prioritized fields of work.

This article reviews the health insurance reforms in China for the period from 2002 to the present. It stated that 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China introduced significant amendments to health insurance system, balancing the negative impact of capitalist mechanisms, on the one hand, and justice and equality – on the other. This stage of development in China’s healthcare insurance system is described as the “second generation” in healthcare system, characterized with the change of government’s role in allocation of resources in healthcare sector: proliferation of “wild capitalism” in medicine is replaced with the concept of granting freedom to the market mechanisms under the government supervision. The reforms of PRC government in the area of health have a clear social focus. The state takes over responsibility for health of the citizens, which was released to a free market in the “new course” of the 1980s – 1990s. At the same time, the former paternalistic scheme is replaced by the equal system of interaction between society and the government. In all cases, the insurance funds are formed out of personal deposits of the citizens and deposits of local and central authorities. Municipalities are responsible for majority of decisions in the area of development of insurance schemes. The government’s role consists in establishment of minimum deposits and maximum coverage. This is how the central authorities, local administration and citizens are involved in insurance schemes on equal terms.

China Daily

This study investigates what images of China were constructed in China Daily’s reports on the G20 summit, and how this was done. One hundred and fifty samples were collected to form a corpus. Data was analyzed through Antconc3.2.4w under Fairclough’s three-dimensional framework. The findings indicated that China Daily has constructed Chinese national images such as a rapidly developing cooperator, a voluntarily responsible, innovative and civilized country with the language resources of vocabulary, modality, tense and the collocation. The study has thus provided some implications for readers to further comprehend the positive national images of China, and for other domestic media to better their foreign publicity strategies.
