This week on TV Newsance, we look at Palki Sharma’s changing views on China. From calling Covid the “Wuhan Virus” and predicting China’s collapse, to praising Chinese robots and museums at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit – what happened to India’s “China basher No. 1”?

Meanwhile, SCO wasn’t just about photo-ops. Putin spoke of deeper ties with Pakistan, the joint statement equated terror attacks in India and Pakistan, as China signalled the summit as the real challenger to the US. What does this mean for India’s foreign policy? Why ask real questions when you can show Modi as “Shaktimaan,” talk about Pakistan’s PM fiddling with an earpiece, and gush over “diplomatic wins” for India that no one noticed.

All this and more in this week’s Newsance! Watch the full episode and let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
