Media bias in Australia frustrates many

Survey finds most Chinese migrants raise concerns over reporters' hyperbole

For many Chinese who have migrated to Australia, the country they now call home is starting to appear not so welcoming, and they blame the media for much of the problem.

A survey by the Australia-China Relations Institute at the University of Technology Sydney, or UTS, found that 91 percent of Chinese Australians are concerned by the Australian English-language media's tendency to engage in speculation about a "war" with China.

Earlier this year, several newspapers carried a series of articles over a five-day period under the banner "Red alert: War risk exposed". One headline read: "Australia must prepare for threat of China war".
