This position paper examines the evolution of Chinese Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference (FIMI) operations, focusing on China’s adoption of Kremlin-style disinformation tactics. This study is grounded in Positive Discourse Analysis, Corpus Linguistics, and Chinese cultural frameworks, including Confucianism and Daoist principles. The paper analyses a transcribed corpus of 38 hours of China Radio International broadcasts in English to investigate how these transmissions engage Western audiences and promote President Xi Jinping’s vision of a new world order. By adopting a non-Western analytical perspective and advocating a shift from discourse analysis to cultural discourse studies, the research highlights the contributions of discourse analysts within the field of Open-Source Intelligence. The paper introduces the use of Computational Narrative Arcs and a novel blend of Common Ground linguistic theory, Early Heaven Bagua Daoist principles, and Information Operations doctrine.
