Abstract

The trade war between China and the United States of America led to the existence of instability in the international economic arena, which resulted in a number of economic, political, and international changes, which in turn included the presence of the element of political communication formulated in its new "digital" dress. This study discusses the role of Chinese digital media represented in this research in “digital journalism" and its use through China to support and disseminate its foreign policy goals through the formation of appropriate media frames, and also through the use of the type of "peace and neutrality journalism". And stay away from "war journalism."
Based on the importance of studying the impact and effectiveness of the study of digital journalism in political and economic crises as one of the tools used to support the role of political communication, the researcher, using the descriptive analytical research methodology by means of the content analysis tool, analyzed a sample of 285 news articles for the digital Chinese newspaper "PEOPLE'S DAILY ONLINE" published throughout the year 2018, in order to analyze the media frames.
The results of this study observed that the State of China tended, in the majority of the analyzed articles, to use the press of neutrality, followed by the press of peace. The study found that more than 60% of these articles called for joint peaceful solutions between the two countries. In general, the study revealed the tone of political hegemony adopted by China by showing the international support provided to it by various international organizations such as (European Union) and (International Monetary Fund).
