Abstract: The subject of the research in this article is the peculiarities of the discourse of Chinese-language media in East and Southeast Asia. The authors pay close attention to identifying linguistic tools used in them as part of the editorial board's targeted strategy, as well as the possibilities of using texts of this kind in the development of communicative competence when teaching interpretation and translation in a pair of Chinese – Russian languages. The source of materials for the study was the Internet news portals of a number of leading newspapers in mainland China, Hong Kong SAR, Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia. The subject of the study is the discourse of texts on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. The possibility of comparing texts posted on various media platforms was provided by the unity of the subject and the synchronicity of publication (October–November 2023). The following methods were used in the study: typological analysis in the selection of specific media, the study of selected articles using contextual and comparative analysis, linguodidactic analysis to determine the potential of using the type of texts under study as educational material. The authors solved the following tasks: criteria for the selection of Chinese-language media and news articles were developed, an analysis of the structure, vocabulary, grammar, and means of artistic expression of texts of Chinese-language media in the Asian region was carried out, patterns determining the features of the discourse of articles of a particular media were identified; targeted strategies of selected media resources in the representation of news publications were described; a conclusion was given on the possibility of using materials from Chinese-language media of Asian countries in the process of teaching translation from Chinese to students of various specializations, including linguistics, regional studies, Oriental studies. The relevance of this study is due to the need to expand the linguistic and regional horizons of future Sinologists in the context of the intensification of relations between Russia and China, as well as the countries of Southeast Asia. The authors did not find any works comparing the linguistic techniques of the discourse of Chinese-speaking media resources in China and Southeast Asian countries, as well as considering the possibility of using texts of this kind in teaching Chinese. This study is intended to partially fill this gap in sinological linguodidactics.
