This thesis, by tracing its mechanism at three different geographical scales---global, national, and local, analyzes its multidimensional impact at each scale.

Bellisario College of Communications *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT This research aims to study the propaganda and counter-propaganda strategies used in both a closed and an open society by conducting two case studies in mainland China and Hong Kong. Nationalist propaganda campaigns concerning four independence movements in Tibet, Xinjiang, Taiwan, and Hong Kong were compared and analyzed to explore the underlying mechanism of Chinese Communist Party’s propaganda strategies. The framing strategies employed in the four independence movements were also compared, which were significant different among the movements under study. The Hong Kong independence movement was used to demonstrate the framing contest in Hong Kong, while state propaganda faces different challengers. A hostile media effect and a third-person effect were revealed among mainland Chinese netizens. This research adds new evidence to the observation that the state-controlled media might change people’s behavior, but they could hardly change their beliefs.
