Abstract

This paper pays attention to the Uyghur conflict which became international news. A variety of reports about the Uygur appear with religious-based heroic narratives that corroborate discrimination, persecution, and all the miscience of the Chinese government against the Uyghur ethnic minority. As such, it aims to understand the difference in perspectives of the preaching of some Western mass media compared to the Chinese mass media in informing Uyghur related news. Compared to other ethnicity issues, the authors believed in certain interests behind the preaching of various online mass media to what was actually happening in Xinjiang. The author uses the framework of the framing theory of Pan Konciski and the constructivicist paradigm to interpret the news of the Uygur conflict.  The results of the study show Western media are more likely to have tendencies using words or sentences that drain the reader's emotions while Chinese media are more likely to be neutral in framing the news. It is a record for the authors that the public perception regarding the internationalization of issues occurring in a country can be influenced by how the media package news content.

Abstract

The study seeks to explain North Korea's political behavior that tends to act defensively and offensively which has often been represented as a dangerous country. Moreover, historically, the events of the Korean War that led to the breakup of Korea into two parts, the northern part that is associated with the Soviet Union and the southern part that is joined by the United States, makes the relationship between the two countries increasingly conflictual. Coupled with the formation of two axes of power since the collapse of the Soviet Union, North Korea is allied with its ideological one brother China, and South Korea is allied with the United States. The political escalation between the two countries continues to rise, resulting in the relationship of two becoming very conflictual, and because of that, the rivalry that is formed between the two countries raises various potential conflicts that couldn't be avoided. This research used the congruent method by used the balance of threat theory from Stephen Walt who argued that the state reacts to the perceived threat rather than power, and aims to balance it. The results found that North Korea's defensive - offensive actions were motivated by distrust of America-allied South Korea through several joint exercise programs on the peninsula that is considered a form of threat. Overall, the main argument of this research is the North Korea’s defensive - offensive actions are determined by the attitudes of South Korea and its ally the United States.
