This paper is devoted to compiling a snapshot of the opinion of British newspapers in relation to the fall and imprisonment of two great Chinese politicians, whose activities have affected bilateral relations to varying degrees. Newspaper articles are analyzed using a combination of content and frame analysis and based on their division by format and political support. As a result of the work, a difference was established between the behavior of British politicians and the position of the national press.
