Yiqing Chen
PhD Candidate
Under the supervision of Stephen Hutchings and Marco Biasioli at the University of Manchester, Yiqing Chen is researching how secondary disinformation discourses are understood in Chinese public discourse using a mixed research method.
By analysing linguistic, cultural, and societal factors, the study examines the complexities of translating Western concepts of disinformation into Mandarin and how these translations shape global information flows and knowledge production.
Upon completion, Yiqing’s thesis will offer a groundbreaking analysis of how disinformation narratives are adapted within Chinese epistemic frameworks, contributing to the broader discourse on global disinformation studies and translation studies.
