💨 Abstract

As military tensions between India and Pakistan ease, China's digital platforms increasingly portray water as a key strategic front in the region. Chinese media heavily publicized the Mohmand Hydropower Project in Pakistan as a counter to Indian influence, framing it as a crucial ally in Pakistan’s water security. China is depicted as a stabilizing force, while India is criticized for leveraging its geographical position. National security rhetoric has been invoked, suggesting potential internationalization of water tensions.
