Kashmir Conflict: A Strategic Bonanza for Chinese Intelligence

The Kashmir conflict between India and Pakistan has created a strategic intelligence goldmine for China in its ongoing rivalry with India. China's advanced military capabilities allow it to scrutinize Indian actions in real time via border installations, Indian Ocean fleets, and even satellite imagery.

Chinese fighter jets, operating alongside Pakistan, have increased Beijing's understanding of India's military tactics. Analysts emphasize the powerful intelligence advantage China gains given its comprehensive networks, including 267 satellites dedicated to intelligence and surveillance.

China's relationship with Pakistan facilitates the sharing of this intelligence. As maritime and border tensions rise, China's expertise in surveillance continues to grow, benefiting from its strategic partnership with Pakistan and furthering its interests against India.
