Abstract
Foreign policy is considered as one the important factors in
media framing of various national and international issues and
events. Building on the existing literature regarding the
relationship between media framing and foreign policy, the
present study investigates that how leading American, Indian,
Chinese and Pakistani press frame Sino-Pak relations,
especially the Chinese President, Xi Jinping’s visit of April 2015
to Pakistan in the backdrop of CPEC. Content analyses of the
selected newspapers for a period of two months i.e., March 20,
2015 to May 20, 2015 indicated that China Daily and daily
Dawn gave more coverage to Sino-Pak relations than The Times
of India and The New York Times. Furthermore, it was found
that The Times of India and The New York Times focused more
on the ‘conflict’ frame whereas Pakistani and Chinese press
emphasized more the ‘economic, responsibility and human
interest’ frames.
