This study conducts a comparative phraseological analysis of media representations associated with the National Security Law for Hong Kong between China's and Anglo-American English-language press. Using a corpus-driven methodology, four framing functions are identified: politics and law, protests and crime, action and future, and evaluation. The findings reveal that the Chinese press emphasizes the law's benefits, while the Anglo-American press portrays it as a threat to Hong Kong's autonomy and legal system. The study discusses the newly politicized Hong Kong within the context of socio-political practices and geopolitical tensions between China and the West.
