Summary
In the context of the global #MeToo movement, China has come a long way, but little itis known by the outside world because of the way news is controlled by the communistgovernment. The purpose of this study is to aide in building more effective strategies for activistsinvolved in the Chinese #MeToo movement to work with media. It is my hope that thesefindings will offer a model for U.S. audiences, especially activists in the U.S. #MeToomovement, to better understand the U.S. medias coverage of gender relations and feminism inChina. This study utilized both content analysis and critical discourse analysis (CDA) to analyzeChinese and U.S. news coverage quantitatively and qualitatively. There are three hypotheses:1. Chinese news coverage of the Chinese #MeToo movement will be more conservative and willreflect patriarchal tendencies; 2. The presence of an anticommunist framework will be dominantin the U.S. coverage of the Chinese #MeToo movement; 3. Chinese news media coverage ofChinas #MeToo movement will focus more on events rather than analysis and interpretationof these events. The result shows that the former two hypotheses could be demonstrated but thelast one is difficult to be examined.
