Over the 20th century print media appears as one of the most important opinion-generating agent. Besides its role as primary source, it can be used to value how China, in the broadest sense, and “the chineseness” are perceived. The author tries to inquire about the different represented nuances on the press that build the perception of China in the imaginary of the Spanish society during 60’s and 70’s. For this study,   references in ABC newspaper which contain the word “China” from these years  have been analyzed. ABC was the widest print circulation newspaper in Madrid and the second one in Spain. The aim is to examinate how the press have influenced the construction of an imaginary of China, which carries the traditional clichés (mysterious, hermetic, mystic) and adds some news more suited for Cold War context. Finally, the author reviews the modelling of China as a multilateral menace for western countries (racial, social, political, religious and military menace); and how this menace fits not only in the anti-communist paranoia but also in the second half 20th century’s post-colonial discourse ​
