Conflicting national media positions are often reflected in the discursive patterns used in news headlines. By using the headlines collected from online articles in the Chinese national daily newspaper China Daily and the American national daily newspaper The New York Times, Halliday’s transitivity analysis is deployed to analyze these processes in the light of critical discourse studies. The study finds that while China Daily holds a moderate attitude toward ChatGPT, The New York Times tends to view this new technology critically. The results also highlight the cultural values and ideologies of the two newspapers from the choices of their news headlines.
