In recent years, Indian media has under heightened attention for its role in disseminating misinformation, particularly with narratives related to Pakistan. The Indian media has progressively transformed into a propagandist apparatus, producing misleading narratives that align with the strategic and political goals of the state, rather than upholding the ethical values of journalism such as objectivity, accuracy, and impartiality. An egregious instance of this transpired during a portion on @SkyYaldaHakim's talk program, where the Indian High Commissioner disseminated a manifestly false narrative against a Pakistani cleric, which the host failed to interrogate, underscoring a double standard that must be contested. In the talk program, the Indian High Commissioner presented an image of a guy conducting funeral prayers in Bahawalpur and asserted that this gentleman was an UN-designated terrorist, Hafiz Abdul Rauf. This assumption was presented with notable confidence and was not rigorously scrutinized by the host, despite the gravity of the claim. Nevertheless, the actual facts present a markedly different narrative. The person depicted in the photograph is not Abdul Rauf Azhar, the sibling of Masood Azhar, the founder of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), who is classified as a terrorist by the United Nations. The individual conducting the funeral prayers is Hafiz Abdul Rauf, a local cleric from Bahawalpur. This misidentification is not merely a matter of mistaken identity; it constitutes a calculated effort to fabricate a false story, then magnified by Indian media sources and disseminated on an international stage. The disparity in journalistic rigor directed towards Pakistani and Indian representatives throughout the conversation show was evident. Yalda Hakim, a broadcaster recognized for her aggressive interviewing style with Pakistani visitors, did not pose a single incisive question to the Indian High Commissioner. The lack of follow-up on such a grave claim indicates either a failure in journalistic integrity or a deliberate partiality, both of which are intolerable in any reputable media organization. When Pakistani officials participate in such platforms, they are inundated with inquiries, compelled to justify themselves under significant pressure. Conversely, Indian representatives are permitted to present unproven assertions without restriction. This episode is not an isolated occurrence but rather part of a larger trend in which Indian media routinely propagates falsehoods regarding Pakistan. The Indian media has a longstanding history of falsifying evidence to bolster its narrative, including the misattribution of utterances to Pakistani officials and the distortion of on-ground occurrences. These acts not only misrepresent the truth but also jeopardize regional stability by exacerbating tensions founded on falsehoods and partial truths. The presence of such propaganda on worldwide media platforms like Sky News intensifies the issue. When hosts like as Yalda Hakim do not uphold an impartial stance in moderating debates on critical geopolitical issues, they inadvertently contribute to the propagation of biased narratives. International journalists and media organizations must maintain the highest standards of accuracy and fairness, particularly when addressing matters that may exacerbate cross-border tensions. Pakistan is entitled to anticipate a formal clarification from Yalda Hakim and Sky News. The government and pertinent institutions should be afforded an opportunity to offer recorded evidence to counter the erroneous assertions broadcasted. The person depicted in the photograph, Hafiz Abdul Rauf, is a prominent local religious leader and not a terrorist. Clarifying this reality is not merely about rectifying an error; it is essential for reinstating honesty in public debate and averting further decline in diplomatic ties. This event underscores an urgent necessity for enhanced fact-checking and verification processes within the media sector. In an age where information can traverse boundaries instantaneously, unverified assertions and visual distortions can have significant repercussions. The media bears a significant obligation not only to inform but also to do it with integrity and responsibility. It also poses a significant inquiry: why does the Indian media feel compelled to manufacture narratives to undermine Pakistan? The explanation resides in the political value of these myths. The Indian state and its media affiliates seek to divert attention from their internal problems, such as the repression of dissent in Kashmir, increasing religious intolerance, and escalating authoritarianism under the current regime, by vilifying Pakistan and portraying it as a centre of terrorism through deceptive narratives and manipulated imagery. Constructed threats from Pakistan act as a convenient diversion from these internal difficulties. The recent falsehood disseminated by the Indian High Commissioner on an international talk show exemplifies media manipulation and state-sponsored propaganda. This serves as a poignant reminder of the degree to which disinformation is employed as a mechanism for diplomacy and the manipulation of public opinion. International media must demonstrate enhanced attentiveness and impartiality in these areas. It is imperative to denounce Indian media for its evolution into a deceptive propaganda apparatus that compromises truth for political convenience. Pakistan must persist in contesting these inaccuracies through evidence-based diplomacy and demand responsibility from international media platforms that permit their use in this disinformation conflict.

Trump 2.0 Meets the Machine Age

The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), initiated by China in 2013 under President Xi Jinping, was originally designed as an ambitious strategy for infrastructural and economic growth to improve global connectivity. As geopolitical tensions intensified, especially during the US-China trade war under the Trump administration, the BRI transformed from a mere development program into a vital buffer and strategic instrument for China's economic resilience. The BRI significantly alleviated the economic strains resulting from the trade war by diversifying China's trading routes, broadening its global market access, and strengthening political and economic relationships throughout Asia, Africa, and Europe. The US-China trade war was fundamentally characterized by reciprocal tariffs that upset established trade patterns between the two largest economies globally. China, significantly dependent on exports to the United States, encountered substantial threats to its manufacturing industry, employment levels, and GDP expansion. Nonetheless, the BRI offered China a strategic alternative. Through the construction of trains, ports, and roadways in more than 150 participating nations, China successfully shifted its focus to emerging markets, therefore diminishing its reliance on Western economies. Trade with BRI countries increased as China shifted products and investment towards Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. The new markets not only absorbed Chinese exports but also supplied raw materials and investment opportunities that sustained Chinese industry despite American tariffs. The infrastructural networks established under the BRI markedly improved China's logistical adaptability. The China-Europe Railway Express offered a swift and dependable terrestrial route that circumvented marine chokepoints and diminished dependence on US-dominated shipping lanes. Amid heightened trade tensions, these terrestrial routes to Europe shown their significance in sustaining consistent shipments. Ports constructed and operated by Chinese companies in important areas such as Gwadar (Pakistan), Hambantota (Sri Lanka), and Piraeus (Greece) have facilitated China's acquisition of critical access points for its commodities and oil imports, hence providing insulation from the repercussions of trade restrictions and geopolitical disturbances. The BRI enabled China to utilize its enormous foreign exchange reserves to advance its economic and political objectives. By financing infrastructure in emerging nations, China generated opportunities for its state-owned firms while also securing future economic partnerships. In areas with limited or conditional Western investment, China's strategy, generally less hindered by political stipulations, was embraced. This financial outreach resulted in enhanced diplomatic power, ensuring that numerous countries-maintained neutrality or support for China during the trade conflict. Nations indebted to or closely associated with China through BRI projects were less inclined to endorse US-led pressure initiatives or international trade sanctions. The geopolitical impact of the BRI also served to mitigate the United States' attempts to isolate China. China established international venues, including the Belt and Road Forum and regional cooperation mechanisms, to promote economic partnerships free from US influence. These platforms established new standards for commerce, investment, and governance that corresponded with China's strategic objectives. During a time when the US was withdrawing from global institutions and multilateral trade agreements, the BRI enabled China to fill the void and position itself as a proponent of globalization and development. Furthermore, the BRI indirectly catalysed internal economic reforms and innovation within China. Confronted with the necessity to maintain competitiveness in emerging markets, Chinese enterprises increased their investments in technology, efficiency, and supply chain enhancements. This transition somewhat mitigated the effects of diminished trade with the US and established China as a more competitive global competitor. The initiative to localize production and cultivate indigenous technologies, particularly in high-value industries like semiconductors and AI, intensified as a component of China's comprehensive reaction to trade challenges. Critics of the BRI frequently highlight worries regarding debt sustainability and strategic overreach; but, during the trade conflict, these apprehensions did not surpass the initiative's strategic advantages for China. Although certain partner nations articulated dissatisfaction regarding debt obligations and project postponements, numerous others continued to rely on Chinese funding for economic advancement. China's capacity to restructure debt or provide supplementary assistance preserved its influence and assured the continuity of BRI projects, albeit with modifications. The endurance of the BRI during this period illustrated that its structure, comprising a financial instrument, a diplomatic vehicle, and a logistical framework, was adaptive under pressure. BRI proved pivotal in protecting China from the complete repercussions of the trade war with the United States. Through the expansion of trade alliances, the security of essential infrastructure, and the amplification of its global power, China adeptly navigated economic hostilities more effectively than many had expected. Despite its problems, the BRI has established itself as a fundamental element of China's strategy to ensure economic security in a fragmented global landscape. The trade war may have challenged China's global position, yet it also shown that initiatives such as the BRI can function not only as catalysts for growth but also as vital support during economic conflict. As global power dynamics evolve, the BRI is expected to remain a crucial component of China's strategy for managing international unpredictability.
