| The Belt and Road Initiative plans to connect main pivots exist in the Asia and the Europe.If the implement of it is successful,it will give China the basic ability as a new important power involved in the big events within the two continents and will optimize the external secure environment of China.Pakistan located in the crossroad of the South,Central and West Asia.With a such an important location,it means a lot to China as a trategic supporting point.Furthermore,the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor is the flagship project of the Belt and Road Initiative,if it’s carried out smoothly,it will attract more countries’ interests.Therefore,to verify pakistani attitude to the Belt and Road Initiative is necessary.The mass media always works as an modifier adjusting the meassages form the internal or external society,as a consequence the stance of the mass media will be affected deeply by the politics or economic factors.Choosing the state-run news agency — — Associated Press of Pakistan and the oldest news media the Dawn as research objects,study its framing effect of the reports published and the influence factors after it to understand the stance of how it sees the Belt and Road Initiative and make up the gap on the study of pakistani mass media in China.Through the ways of frame analysis and discourse analysis,We discover that they had different report frame at first and then they tended to move in mirror image.The research result shows that China and Pakistan play the leading role in the reports,the voice of the 3rd part disappeared,and that uses a lot positive words to describe the Belt and Road Initiative and the benefits it will bring to.The geo-political influence that drives Pakistan and China to cooperate in more regions,the friendly history since Pakistan and China established diplomatic relations and the sluggish economy Pakistan have to face to determine the necessity of choosing the China and Pakistan Economic Corridor.And the new goverment leaded by Imran Khan boost the confidence of pakistani so that eliminate the negetive voice to CPEC and divert the report frame of the Dawn making it covergence to the mainstream voice.But the national conditions of Pakistan is not that optimistic,and the external great power won’t let the Belt and Road Initiative go through smoothly.Hence,Pakistan and Chinashould collaborate in the region of anti-terrorism and media cooperation to guide the public opinion and make sure the CPEC will carry out favorably. |
