Abstract

This chapter reveals that the traditional division of news/views and in-house/external news sources are not so important on the social media platform. The professional media’s use of foreign policy and conflict frames as well as the use of multimedia format are most important at time of crisis to attract the attention of and engage with the web users. Online users generated new frames such as criticizing China’s domestic policy and societal issues. The scope of the peer-to-peer dialogues are much wider, personalized, opinionated and diversified. Global Times mainly plays the role of initiating, informing, enforcing and reviving the online debate. Online users use different forms of languages and emoji/emoticons to express their opinions, attitudes, emotions and sentiments towards the Sino-Indian border crisis and beyond.
