This study analyzes the placement of China's news in Taiwan's newspapers under the context of communist Chinese propaganda toward Taiwan. Adopting the perspective of van Dijk's theory of discourse and manipulation, this study finds that two of the newspapers accepting news placements (The China Times and United Daily News) reported on theChinese buying groups using detailed and positive descriptions of the leaders' emotional, moral, and power characteristics. Whereas the other two newspapers (Apple Daily and Liberty Times) made far less reports and provided no positive details regarding the leaders of the buying groups.
