<p> This study analyzes reports on the National Party Congress( from the 13th</p><p>to the 18th) of China in the Yomiuri Shimbun and the Asahi Shimbun. Two categories</p><p>of reports," articles on the opening of the Party Congress" and" a serial</p><p>article on the National Party Congress" are examined using Fairclough's method</p><p>of genre analysis.</p><p> This study examined how "genre chains" and "genre mixing," leading to</p><p>discourse over China's one-party system, have changed over time. The Yomiuri</p><p>Shimbun and the Asahi Shimbun, which are said to have different political positions,</p><p>show the same tendency.</p><p> First," genre chains" from" official documents" to" expository arguments"</p><p>was confirmed in the articles on the "keynote political report" of the Party</p><p>Congress. It showed that the newspaper emphasized how to explain the report</p><p>instead of the report itself. In an "explanatory discussion" of a "keynote political</p><p>report," there is a tendency to combine various genres such as" official document,""</p><p>interview,"" news story," etc. into new" formats." Due to this" genre</p><p>mixing," the functions of the original genres and the texts using them change.</p><p> Second, in the series of articles on the National Party Congress, the main</p><p>genre gradually changes from" argument" to" narrative." More stories and episodes</p><p>were used to express the conflict between the one-party system and the</p><p>market economy, and the detailed description of facts increased in the "narra tive" genre. Along with these changes, the facts picked up in articles changed</p><p>from "reference material" to "grounds of an argument." The author argued</p><p>that the above tendency amplified the risk that specific logic could become</p><p>fixed and the exclusion of the possibility of constructing other logic. Such a tendency</p><p>is presumed to be related to the lack of diversity of discussions about</p><p>Chinese society in recent years.</p>
