Burkean Identification Strategies in Chinas National-Image Discourse Construction
Chinese President Xi Jinping paid an historical state visit to Bangladesh on October 14,2016.The visit was the second state visit by Chinese presidents in 40 years.During his visit,Xi published a signed article in mainstream Bangladesh newspapers.Grounded on Kenneth Burkes(1973)theory on identification strategies,this paper explores how Xi constructs Chinas national image in his signed article.The analysis reveals that a Burkean approach to Chinas national-image discourse construction not only extends the application scope of Burkes rhetorical theory,but also provides the international community an understanding of the characteristics of Chinas national-image discourse construction.
