ABSTRACT

A content analysis of 330 Chinese-language news articles from 40 Chinese newspapers and 244 English-language news articles from 122 major world publications revealed stark differences in the attributes linked to Chinese Muslims. U.S. and other western newspapers portrayed Chinese Muslims in an overwhelmingly negative way, often linking the group to terrorism. Chinese newspapers portrayed the Chinese Muslims overwhelmingly positive, linking the group to feature topics.
