China boosts soft power in Pakistan via film and social media

[Yankee-stani]

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - In a small office at the Pakistani Television Corporation (PTV) headquarters in Islamabad, producers are preparing to air a video interview of a Pakistani man and his Chinese bride.

The woman in the footage is dressed in traditional Pakistani clothes, sitting next to her husband who addresses her in fluent Mandarin, amplifying a message of trans-national love prevailing over differences in language, religion and culture.

The videos are the latest sign of China's growing push to build up cultural "soft power" to complement the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), the $60 billion infrastructure program it has launched as part of the Asian giant's flagship "Belt and Road" project.

Great news. Chinese should bring their culture to pakistan.

And Pakistan should bring its culture to China

And Pakistan should bring its culture to China

I’d say we should make a film about a Chinese man with a Pakistani bride but that’s already a touchy topic. Unfortunately it might be a reminder of exploitation of Pakistani women

No as bad as the exploitation of the women India of course. At least these were criminals in Pakistan and China, But Indian politicians sanction the rape of their own female citizen. Their religion allows the burning of women on their husband's pyre. Indians also use rape as a tool in parts of there country that has civil unrest.
