Abstract
Computational political communication, based on big data analytics of social media texts, provides a paradigm for understanding the public's view of and engagement with political events worldwide. This study reviews previous efforts by social and data scientists and offers a demo to show the potential of computational political communication. To characterize online political communication dynamics surrounding U.S.-China tensions and gain a better understanding of the U.S.-China power struggle, a vast amount of user-generated Twitter data is compiled from March 2020 to March 2021 globally. Chinese IT giants (Huawei, Tencent, and ByteDance) and major English-speaking countries (the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, and Pakistan) are chosen as keywords for filtering the tweets gathered. Sentiment analysis of the tweets is carried out automatically. It is found that the popularities of debates regarding certain nations and companies are uneven and might be triggered by events. Furthermore, rather than being segregated, the discourses of all of these companies are intertwined. It is expected that future studies can apply more fine-grained, categorized, and automated sentiment and topic analysis to show a panorama of online public opinion.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
