ABSTRACT

This study explores how Discovering China: A Culinary Journey and A Bite of China Season 1 construct China’s image using Halliday’s transitivity system. By analyzing material, mental, relational, and verbal processes, it highlights differences in narrative strategies and cultural perspectives. While Discovering China focuses on dynamic actions and the host’s experiences, A Bite of China emphasizes human-centered storytelling and cultural depth. The study underscores language’s role in shaping national identity and cross-cultural communication.
