The study focuses on the discursive features of representing political news about China’s “Two Sessions” in the mobile application of People’s Daily. The object of analysis is mobile news discourse as a form of contemporary media communication functioning within a platform-based digital environment. The paper examines the thematic organization of the news corpus, linguistic mechanisms of standardization and clich usage, the formation of evaluative and axiological meanings, and the functioning of media frames through which the political agenda is constructed. Particular attention is paid to the interaction of verbal and pragmatic means under conditions of mobile information consumption, as well as to the influence of platform logic on the structuring of news messages. The analysis is based on news publications from 2024 to 2026, which makes it possible to identify stable characteristics in the representation of political reality during periods of high concentration of socially significant events. The methodological framework combines content analysis and discourse analysis with elements of quantitative linguistic analysis, enabling the identification of thematic dominants, frequency patterns, and interpretative mechanisms of political news discourse. The scientific novelty of the study lies in treating political news about the “Two Sessions” as an integrated discursive system of mobile journalism, where thematic selection, linguistic standardization, evaluative mechanisms, and platform characteristics function in interaction. The research systematically identifies key discursive features, including thematic structuring, linguistic clich formation, and a tendency toward semantic compression associated with mobile media consumption. The findings suggest that mobile political news discourse is characterized by a high degree of normativity, a predominance of positive evaluation, and an orientation toward the cognitive structuring of the political agenda. Discursive mechanisms can be interpreted as performing not only informative but also interpretative and regulatory functions, contributing to the formation of a coherent model of political reality perception. The results contribute to media linguistics and political communication studies by clarifying the functioning of news discourse in a digital platform environment.
