“…A strong and consistent theme in the TOI (mostly New Delhi edition) is that the CPEC, under the umbrella of China's BRI, violated India's sovereignty and territorial integrity. As China's top and largest project of the century, the BRI is a global infrastructure development plan aimed at investing in more than 70 countries and regions, promoted as a project of the century to benefit all the world's people (Li and McKerrow, 2021). But, as represented by the TOI , the BRI is a different story.…”

This study examines the use of the ideograph territorial sovereignty by the Times of India ( TOI; U.S./New Delhi editions) in its reports on China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Using McGee's ( 1980 ) notion of ideograph and Entman’s ( 1993 ) framing theory, it uncovers a discursive strategy used by elite media for swaying public opinion regarding international and domestic information flow when promoting its preferred “Indian” understanding of the BRI. This study reviews historical uses of the ideograph territorial sovereignty to establish an analysis of the TOI's use of it. Then, following framing theory and a synchronic structure, I explore the ideograph in 40 collected TOI reports by contextualizing relationships supporting and surrounding it.

Despite the significant progress in studies on metadiscourse, scarce attention has been paid to it in the digital context. Social media platforms including Twitter have become arenas for the current Sino-U.S. discourse competition. In this regard, Twitter can be used to observe the diverse usage of metadiscourse by different political figures and uncover the underlying mechanisms. Combining computer-aided metadiscourse extraction and critical discourse analysis, the paper explores metadiscourse markers from the Chinese and American spokespersons’ tweets to reveal their rhetoric and social functions based on Foucault's “power discourse theory.” The results show that the American spokespersons are more inclined to use emotional persuasion and define some specific objects, which is part of the division & rejection system. In contrast, utterances of the Chinese spokespersons constitute a semantic terrain to distinguish truth from falsehood, utilizing the opposition system to eliminate their inferior discourse power status.
