This paper keeps a comparative observation of the visual Chinese and Western media coverage of the Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill Movement in Hong Kong. Building on previous studies of news framing and visual framing, this paper looks into how the same political media event is covered in different ways among media cultures and explores the visual frame for the media event involving protests and geopolitics, revealing how the media frame political publicity strategies for visual coverage. For the public, being aware of the means by which news images are constructed helps to provide the tools to eliminate the false and retain the true in the media society. It is also helpful for the public to learn how to prevent themselves from being drawn into political intentions constructed by the media and to maintain rational thinking in the public sphere.
