- Abstract
This article conducts a case study of China's influence on Pakistan by collecting and analysing news coverage from two prominent English and Urdu newspapers in Pakistan for a five-year period between 2013 and 2018. It compares the changes in newspaper reporting before and after the launch of the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) in 2015. Analysis has shown a significant increase in positive reporting on the CPEC and China. The case of Pakistan is representative of its recognition of China's soft power in a developing country, thus offering a new perspective on China's goodwill vis-à-vis the Belt and Road Initiative.
