According to Deutsche Welle, following the intense military conflict between India and Pakistan, Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar visited Beijing to express gratitude for China's efforts in promoting peace. The report highlights that Chinese weapon systems may have provided a decisive advantage to Islamabad during the conflict.

China is Pakistan's primary arms supplier, and military cooperation with China seems to be a key to Pakistan's strategy against India. The J-10C fighter jets from China made their operational debut in this conflict, reportedly achieving significant success. Dar claimed that these jets had shot down multiple Indian aircraft, marking a major victory for Chinese military technology with potential geopolitical implications.

However, the Indian government has partially disputed these claims, asserting that the Indian Air Force successfully bypassed and disrupted the Chinese defense systems. Discussions on Chinese military technology on social media have stoked nationalist fervor.
