ISLAMABAD - In a small office at the Pakistani Television Corporation headquarters in Islamabad, producers are preparing to air a video interview of a Pakistani man and his Chinese bride.
Over the past year, China has sent state-owned PTV and other commercial television channels a series of documentaries, dramas and other television programming for free, officials from PTV told Reuters. China is boosting its Mandarin teaching through state-backed language and culture organizations called Confucius Institutes – Pakistan is home to four with two more Confucius resource centers set to open – and spreading exposure to its arts and narrative media in a bid to engage everyday Pakistanis.
But signs of China’s presence are increasingly visible, from expatriate engineers and their families shopping in city centers to a growing number of Chinese tourists visiting the spectacular scenery of Pakistan’s rugged mountainous north. Locals report an increasing appetite to engage using shared cultural touchpoints and language – sometimes with business in mind.
