  ABSTRACT: Based on the critical discourse analysis, this paper analyzes the keywords and discourse of the report text from the perspective of permutation strategy, ambiguity strategy and approaching strategy, and explores the Mystification strategies used in the Shanghai epidemic reported by the British and American mainstream newspapers as well as their representation in the text, in order to help the text-consumers view Western reports rationally and objectively. Through a corpus-based study, it is found that the Shanghai epidemic reports in British and American mainstream newspapers use different mystification strategies at the lexical and textual levels to guide the text-consumers’ cognitive tendency, blur the real situation of the event and mystify the text-consumers.
