Abstract
China’s media-induced diplomacy in its immediate neighborhood remains a less-studied topic. This is particularly significant in view of the fact that China is among the two countries with the largest number of bordering neighbors. Journalistic engagement is emerging as a key strategy in China’s neighborhood/periphery diplomacy. How do contemporary Chinese foreign correspondents in the region make sense of their role in their country’s diplomacy? This paper, based on in-depth interviews with Nepal-based Chinese foreign correspondents, looks at their experiences from professional values perspective, along factors such as news judgement, roles and functions, nature of news coverage, sourcing practices, and journalistic engagement.
