“One country, two values”
Media representations of the 'little fresh meat' phenomenon in China
‘Little fresh meat’ (LFM or xiǎo xiān ròu), which describes a masculine aesthetic rooted in ‘soft masculinity’, is a phenomenon across Asia that challenges prevailing concepts of masculinity and patriarchal discourse. This study furthers previous research by using feminist critical discourse analysis to evaluate the construction of LFM masculine nonconformity, via data collected from 42 news articles from China’s English-language news media, incl…
A critical discourse study of cultural and national identity (re)construction in Taiwanese high school EFL textbooks
In foreign language textbooks, cultural representations embedded in texts and images not only facilitate the acquisition of linguistic knowledge but also construct ethnic or political identities. Over the past century, the mainstream ideology in Taiwan has changed due to the rotation of ruling parties and generational shifts. This change is also evident in contemporary English-as-a-Foreign-Language textbooks. In light of this emerging issue, this…
Representing the 'Little Fresh Meat' Phenomenon in the Chinese English-Medium News Media
In China, the phenomenon of 'little fresh meat' has recently sparked a contentious debate. However, few studies have examined the thematic concepts surrounding the phenomenon of 'little fresh meat' in the Chinese English-medium news media. In order to fill this gap, this study used corpus-assisted critical discourse analysis to examine how the 'little fresh meat' phenomenon has been represented discursively in Chinese English-language news media …
Legalizing Support for Patients with Rare Diseases in the Social Policy System
There is a paucity of research pertaining to the discourse-based construction of legitimation within the realms of law and healthcare. To fill this gap, the present study examines the deliberations within the Legislative Council of Hong Kong pertaining to the enactment of legislation recognizing rare diseases (RDs) as eligible for governmental support. Employing van Leeuwen's sociosemantic approach, we analyzed the debates, revealing four distinc…
Building a global community of health for all
‘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 legiti…
Formulating the discourse of pro-work conservatism
Although the ideology of pro-work conservatism prevails in East Asia, scholars have largely overlooked its discursive construction in media communication from a linguistic perspective. This paper examines the discursive construction of pro-work conservatism in 3,000 Weibo posts with the most “likes” in response to China’s implementation of the three-child policy. Using the sociosemantic approach as an analytic framework, the paper finds that thre…
A debate between hegemonic masculinity and the rise of gender nonconformity
Beyond the Bipartisan System in the Taipei Mayoral Elections—Rise of Market-Oriented Strategies in Electoral Campaigns
Current literature on political marketing seldom investigates elections in non-Western regions or countries. The analysis of the Taipei mayoral elections (TMEs) can fill this academic vacuum. This article studies the election campaigns for the TMEs between 1994 and 2018 to understand and analyse the political marketing strategies used by candidates and political parties in Taiwan, an East Asian democracy. While the New Party (NP) stuck to a produ…
Failure of the semi-authoritarian system
In the past decade, Hong Kong has undergone various large-scale protests, such as the 2014 Occupy Central and the 2019 Anti-Extradition Protests. One of the reasons for such popular grievance was that the government could not grasp the change in public sentiment and opinion. Before the handover, although the governor held the centralized power, the colonial authorities still had ways to collect public opinions to avoid departing from the citizens…
Fragmented Politics in Hong Kong—Analyzing the Pro-democracy Cohesion in the Legislative Council Before 2019
Digital Representation in an Electoral Campaign Influenced by Mainland China
Widely known by the public, the Chief Executive of Hong Kong is selected not by universal suffrage but by a 1,200-member Election Committee (EC). While candidates Carrie Lam, John Tsang, and Kwok-hing Woo all ran in the Chief Executive Election of 2017, only Lam received the blessing of authorities in the Mainland. Though Tsang had led the polls throughout the entire campaign and was popular on several social media platforms, a majority of EC mem…
We are Not Your Enemies!” — Analyzing the Situation of Mainland Chinese Students (Lusheng) in Taiwan
The Centralisation of the Chinese Communist Party’s Campaign against Corruption and Its Implications
Following the initiation of the policy of ‘Reform and Open Door’, the possibilities for public officials to trade power for private gain in China increased. To tackle the problem of corruption, different levels of Discipline Inspection Commissions (DICs) in the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) initiated investigation related to various corruption cases. However, due to the nature of the administrative set-up in China, the local DICs could not effect…
