This view has only intensified since the deterioration of diplomatic relations. Views of China are well known in Australia, with China depicted and perceived increasingly negatively. However, perceptions of Australia in China remain largely unexplored. This chapter conducts a qualitative frame analysis of Chinese language “we-media” contents through four media frames: conflict, human interest, economic consequences and responsibility to explore how Australia has been portrayed and perceived at the grassroots level in China. This chapter aims to inform a non-Chinese-speaking audience regarding the diversity of views communicated about Australia in China at the grassroots level and promote mutual understanding for a shared future.en© The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2023“We-Media” Framing; China-Australia relationsBook chapter10.1007/978-981-19-9191-2_10622249Butcher, J.
