abstract = "This chapter examines the news framing of the Afghanistan War and two Global Times journalists{\textquoteright} experiences as embedded journalists with the US military. It finds that both People{\textquoteright}s Daily and Global Times carry fewer news stories on the Afghanistan War than on the Libyan and Syrian crises. Both titles hold a neutral stance toward the two warring sides: the USA/NATO and Taliban, since both pose potential threats to China{\textquoteright}s national security. Chinese embeds{\textquoteright} experiences demonstrate that embeds from a non-participant country can be critical and can reveal the hegemony and hidden agenda of the USA and NATO. They have a strong sense of their national identity and associate the other{\textquoteright}s war with their home country.",
