Abstract
This article analyzes how the media from the People's Republic of
China, Taiwan and Hong Kong constructed their respective narratives
about the handover of Hong Kong - based on their institutional configurations,
the relevance of the story to their home constituencies, their conventions
of news-making and the cultural repertoire on which they drew to
make the event intelligible. Domesticating a global media event reflects
and reproduces each society as a discursive community; in a defining
moment like this, the media bind each society through their shared
ways of interpretations and expression.
