ABSTRACT
Based on the speeches of US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping on COVID-19, this paper analyzes the war metaphors of the two heads of state for COVID- 19 and related epidemic prevention work. This paper compares the war metaphors Trump and Xi Jinping use for COVID-19 from the three concepts of "enemy," "soldier," and "victory" and finds that Trump and Xi Jinping have a completely different understanding of the war against COVID-19. These differences will be attributed to the different Framing of the two leaders.
