Press conferences of different countries can be perceived from a cross-cultural pragmatic perspective. This study investigated evasion strategies employed by Chinese and American spokespersons in the routine press conferences held by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China and the US Department of State to sidestep challenging questions from aggressive journalists on the issue of North Korean Nuclear during the period of 4 months in 2006. Evasion can be categorized into two types: overt evasion and covert evasion. Findings demonstrated that: 1) Evasion strategy was the frequently adopted strategy by both Chinese and American spokespersons; 2) comparatively speaking, the American spokesperson turns to overt evasion strategy more often while the Chinese spokesperson adopts covert evasion strategy more frequently. 3) the differences of evasion strategies used by Chinese and American spokespersons largely lie in their different verbal styles typical of their respective national characteristics in protecting different national interests.
