President Trump is making headlines again, claiming a “Golden Age” in West Asia following a brief two-week ceasefire, but online reactions tell a very different story.

Pakistan’s outreach, coupled with China’s eventual engagement, has positioned Beijing as a key behind-the-scenes player guiding the ceasefire negotiations. WATCH
