Abstract

Abstract

In 2021, China became the first developing country in the world to have achieved the poverty alleviation target of the Millennium Development Goals, which definitely provides China’s experience and solutions for the global poverty alleviation. Therefore, it is an important element of international communication to tell the stories of China’s poverty alleviation to the outside world and present a vivid national image of China. With the aid of the transitivity- and corpus-based approaches, this study conducts an exhaustive analysis of China Daily’s news reports on poverty alleviation during the ten years from 2012 to 2022 and explores China’s national image represented by China Daily’s poverty alleviation reports. It is found that the poverty alleviation reports fully demonstrate the tripartite collaboration among the Chinese government, enterprises and people in the fight against poverty, highlighting the overall government image, the image of socially responsible enterprises and the industrious people image.
