Framing Cryptocurrency: How the Chinese Media Illustrates a Negative Picture

Bachelor thesis | International Studies (BA)
Cryptocurrencies have caught the attention of the media internationally. Some states are impartial or even encourage cryptocurrencies, whereas others want to regulate them. In China’s case the PRC wants to sternly regulate the decentralized virtual asset in order to reduce financial risk and scams. The Chinese media has been reporting the strict regulations and depicted a certain “frame”. This thesis attempts to analyze that frame and how it is portrayed in the Chinese media by. This will be done by identifying the primary frames and tones in Chinese news articles.
