Pakistan rejects Indian media's accusation that "terrorist camps" operate in Kashmir

Pakistan on Monday invited a group of local and foreign reporters to the part of Kashmir it governs to dispel Indian media's accusation that militant training camps were operating there.

Tensions between India and Pakistan have escalated following a deadly attack on tourists in Indian-controlled Kashmir on April 22.

Since the deadly attack, Indian media have alleged the existence of "terrorists training camps" in Pakistan-controlled Kashmir linked to the attack.

Attaullah Tarar, Pakistan's Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting, dismissed the allegations while talking with the reporters.

"I think these allegations are strongly rejected, even after the Pulwama incident (of 2019). India alleged that there were terrorist camps in Balakot and they attacked Balakot but all they could target were a few trees in Balakot, they attacked a forest without any reason. So I think this time around also their intention is to create a situation of aggression," said Tarar.

"Pakistan will respond to any situation because Pakistan believes in peace. Pakistan has always believed in peace but our desire for peace should not be mistaken for our weakness. Pakistan is the frontline state against terrorism. We are fighting terrorists in our western region," he said.

China's movie industry is increasingly deriving its earnings from broader consumer economy.

Released during the 2025 summer season, the film "Nobody" became China's highest-grossing two-dimensional animated film -- and its success went beyond theaters.

Through licensing and brand partnerships, the movie has generated 2.5 billion yuan (about 358.3 million U.S. dollars) in retail sales to consumers, with more than 800 licensed products on the market.

Ranging from plush toys to food and home goods, the movie-related merchandise can be purchased from over 3,000 online and offline outlets.

Meanwhile, souvenir stores are crowded at Shanghai Disneyland's Zootopia themed land, with hats, plush toys, and collectibles seeing steady demand from visitors.

"China's film industry is no longer defined by box office revenue alone. It has become a new growth engine that links and energizes multiple cultural sectors. At the heart of every successful film is strong storytelling. High-quality productions create cultural value, which in turn enhances the commercial value of intellectual property and opens up new consumption opportunities. I believe China's film industry delivered an outstanding performance in the past year," said Chen Xiaoda, vice dean of Shanghai Vancouver Film School.
