BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Protocol framing: Pakistan's coverage highlights the official condolence message rather than a critical assessment of Zhu Rongji's economic record.

Preference for agency dispatches (Xinhua, AFP): the three titles largely reuse the same material without original reporting specific to Pakistan.

Low coverage of Sino-Pakistani bilateral consequences: no article links Zhu Rongji's record to the current debt or trade exchanges between the two countries.
