In a striking revelation, India affirmed on Tuesday that China's involvement in supporting Pakistan during Operation Sindoor aligns with previously held suspicions. The Ministry of External Affairs has urged nations to reconsider their positions on aiding terrorist activities.

The Chinese official media recently admitted that Beijing provided technical assistance to Pakistan during the conflict with India in May 2025, which was sparked by the Pahalgam terror attack. This admission aligns with India's retaliatory execution of Operation Sindoor, targeting terrorist infrastructure.

Chinese state broadcaster CCTV featured Zhang Heng from AVIC, who acknowledged giving on-ground aid to Pakistan. India's External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal highlighted the implications of such support on global reputations.
