Abstract

China's international relations are one of the coronavirus pandemic consequences, particularly its relations with the Western world. The relationship between the USA and China reaches its culmination through the coronavirus crisis. The American administration has blamed China for everything wrong in the USA ahead of the last presidential election. This paper aims to examine the representation of the American politicians: the president of the USA 'Donald Trump', the secretary of the US State 'Michael R. Pompeo', to China in some of their coronavirus briefings. The critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) framework has been chosen as a powerful tool to show the ideology in Trump's and Pompeo's discourses. As a result, the paper describes some textual analytic techniques such as lexical choices and collocations and argumentation strategies. The paper seeks to examine whether the speeches have been friendly or hostile by the two American politicians using a qualitative and quantitative approach.
