ABSTRACT

The “Belt and Road” Initiative is China’s grand strategy for globalization in the new era, which is crucial to the realization of the Chinese dream. Before some fallacies issued by some western media on China’s “Belt and Road” strategy, Chinese news media have to seize the position of discourse power of the “Belt and Road” publicity-oriented reports and strongly refute against them. Aiming at some problems in Chinese media’s publicity-oriented reports, this paper aims to study the construction of Chinese discourse combined with textual functions, lexical and grammatical functions, so that Chinese media can give full play to their own advantages, employ “Chinese discourse to express China”, and “China Discourse to move audiences home and abroad”.
