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.
