%X This research investigates how news coverage of the South China Sea conflict  is constructed through language choices by three international media outlets: CGTN  (China Global Television Network) from China, Antara News from Indonesia, and  Aljazeera from middle-east. By using the Fairclough’s three-dimensional (CDA) and  Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) framework, this study analyzes how these  medias represent national and institutional ideologies and interests in their reporting.  The research employs qualitative methods, focusing on the transitivity, mood, theme  structures, and vocabularies within selected news articles to reveal the underlying  ideological stances. The findings indicate that CGTN predominantly highlights China’s  sovereignty claims and legitimizes its actions in the South China Sea through assertive  linguistic choices and thematic emphasis. In contrast, Antara News consistently  positions Indonesia as a neutral, emphasizing stability and adherence to international  law. Meanwhile, Aljazeera adopts a critical stance toward China, framing their actions  as aggressive and unlawful, and aligns with liberal-democratic values by highlighting  international law and multilateralism. This contrast demonstrates that news discourse  is never ideologically neutral; rather, it is shaped by national interests and political  agendas. The study contributes to a deeper understanding of how language is used as a  tool of power and ideology in media discourse and underscores the importance of  critical media literacy in interpreting news about international conflicts.
