Abstract
The United States and China draw mutual fascination as the current global superpower and an incipient one, respectively. The state visit to the US in February 2012 by Vice President Xi Jinping, who is described as the Chinese president-in-waiting in the Western press, is examined comparatively across leading US and Chinese newspapers. Framing theory is employed in the examination to ascertain different frames that have emerged in the two political cultural contexts.
