Description: Using a corpus-based Discourse-Historical Approach in Critical Discourse Analysis, the author analyses the representation of the 2008 Olympic torch relay in the British and Chinese media, shedding light on the importance of the Olympic Games for East-West media discourse and analysis.

Review Quotes: [Yang's] work provides a thoughtful, thorough examination of a non-Western media event.
