Abstract
The purpose of this corpus-based study was to explore the portrayal of sex education in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Singapore in two periods. Six sub-corpora were built based on news articles from online databases for further critical discourse analysis. Findings suggested that sex education was portrayed differently depending on the time and the region/country. Discussion focuses on the factors related to the diachronic changes and regional differences including political, social, and cultural aspects.
