Description
This paper examines the Chinese Communist Party’s media presence in Turkey and analyses how the Party’s foreign policy roles, conceptions and international aspirations are communicated to the Turkish public and to what extent it has an impact on public debate. The paper will particularly focus on the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and how it has been narrated through media channels such as China Radio International. In doing so, it seeks to identify how these aspirations, roles and conceptions are represented and reproduced in the nexus between political/security and economic relations.
