description The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is a central policy of the Chinese government. This paper analyses the trend and evolution of the BRI narratives from 2013 to 2020 in Australian print media. By using Leximancer and NVivo Analysis, and frame analysis, this paper selects works from five Australian mainstream print media: The Sydney Morning Herald (The SMH), The Age, The Australian, The Australian Financial Review (The AFR) and Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC). It identifies that the BRI has been gradually politicised and ideologized in Australian print media and these narratives shifted in tone from mostly positive to highly critical. Also, the BRI media narratives have been not about the BRI, but the Chinese government as a whole.
