Description
Summary:This introductory article aims to provide an overview of the emergence and consolidation of research into the translation of political discourse in general and Chinese political discourse in particular. The first section looks at some of the most salient international publications regarding political discourse in Europe, the Americas and Arab countries. The second one considers the interaction between political discourse in and about China published in international periodicals and collections. Next, we provide an overview of the role of politics and translation in news production, as three of the articles in this issue analyse different aspects and genres of journalistic translation. Taken as a whole, this special issue aims to contribute to the debate on the interface between translation and political discourse in the Chinese context.
