Abstract

This chapter has addressed the complex and tricky North Korea nuclear crisis. The case analysis reveals that Chinese media outlets attached greatest importance to the role of US and the US-North Korea relations. While the Global Times’ media discourses are official and rigid citing political elites or giving commentaries, online users’ discourses are short, personal, straightforward, critical, sarcastic and abusive. As for contextual factors, security/military, diplomacy and economy weigh more than history and nationalism. China seems to have played down the historical relations with North Korea and try to avoid being hijacked by the domestic public opinion on its foreign policy.
