ABSTRACT
Global media with international influence play an extremely important role in shaping international public opinion platforms related to China. They not only disseminate objective events but also shape viewpoints. Studying international public opinion orientation plays an important role in building a positive national image, improving the international public opinion environment, and resisting various ideological infiltration. We gathered millions of pieces of data from GDELT for analysis. This study combines zero-shot sentiment analysis based on adversarial learning with the LDA topic classification model to propose a new framework for public opinion analysis. Finally, based on the results of this study, suggestions are made to help maintain China's international image.
