een alarmed by both China’s economic and military power, especially in the United States, Europe and Japan since they consider it as troublesome.
Another frame, “ideology frame” has been used thoroughly. The item “human right”, “Taiwan and Tibet” and “centralization” have been mentioned for 11 times in the reports on 8th and 9th the August. And when those issues were mentioned, the tone is usually negative. The inertia of Western media to illustrate their own understanding of China comes first and it is because that they are not willing to abandon their own country’s dominance over economy and politics in international stage. Mainstream media in the west believe that they are playing the role of maintaining the master narrative on the heavenly principal of societies that put the west at the peak of human civilization. Instead of creating the possibility for a critical exploration of other modes and views, the media make effort to reinforcing national stereotypes of China. According to a survey in 2007, neither the Chinese nor American trusts the accuracy of their portrayal in the other country’s news media.
Frames used to frame London Olympic opening ceremony
The motto of London Olympic Games is “inspire a generation”.

That came through in their confidence and joy. It's really about a civil society. Ours only reflected the party's nationalism. It wasn't a natural reflection of China.
For my position, it cannot be denied that The Guardian is trying to safeguard the national image of a “Great” Britain and not to be faded by comparing with China when it quoted words from a radical anti-communist person and put it at the first part of the first forum the day after opening ceremony.
Apart from comments by Ai weiwei, the Guardian also quoted some comments from British athletes and Londoners, most of their words are expressing their praise and sending their wishes to both the sports game and the ceremonies. Nicholas Kenyon coped with the motto tightly and heis an observer critic and managing director of the Barbican Centre:
