The sixth review is on the article China's big push for its global trade narrative by Carrie Gracie, the China News Editor for BBC News
This article is about china's attempt to spread its global connections across the planet via trade routes, pipelines, commercial regions, and more. China wishes to provide these major connections to multiple countries worldwide, but put china in the heart of it all.
The author appeals to the readers logos through stating china's plans for this belt that they wish to build. China's leader, president Xi, wishes to integrate 60 world countries, which include 60% of the world's population. This is quite a bold statement from China, and if they can manage to get full cooperation, the construction of such a trade network so vast would be incredibly resource-demanding. The author's tone is sincere, which creates an appeal to ethos by making the reader feel as if the writer is honest in all they write. Carrie Gracie also provides the reader with a sense that she supports this movement from china, especially since she does not state almost any negatives of the belt or the process of building it, but rather states all of its potential as a trade hub. There is also an appeal to ethos, where Carrie mentions the ad campaign of a white American adult reading a story of the belt to his children, which is a scene that definitely invokes emotion in the viewers, especially American viewers.
The purpose of writing this article is to inform the reader on this movement that president Xi is trying to push, which he claims to be a strong but peaceful movement that will be beneficial to the world. Carrie also wishes to explain the other goals that Xi has in this project alongside the use of the belt as a trade network.
