Abstract: Based on 367 foreign mainstream media reports related to the 14th Five-Year Plan derived from Factiva Dow Jones database, this study employs AntConc and the R Programming Language to analyze the public opinions of these news reports. Results show that, the foreign mainstream media news reports on the 14th Five-Year Plan represent some basic features. The coverage focuses on changes in China market policies, energy transition, diplomatic relations, human rights, and development opportunities, and the news reports exist problems such as preconceived ideas and stereotypes. In the future, foreign mainstream media will focus on the institutional differences between China and the West and pay more attention to China foreign policy as well as development achievements. Therefore, China should make great efforts in a more open and inclusive manner, promote actual development to compete with foreign media for the right to speak in the world, seize the strategic opportunity to improve national image, and strive to enhance global leadership in a better international public opinion circumstance.
