China-Pakistan alliance: बीजिंग का हथियार सप्लाई कैसे बदल रहा है दक्षिण एशिया का युद्धक्षेत्र
China’s deep ties with Pakistan have taken center stage amid recent India-Pakistan tensions following India’s Operation Sindoor in May 2025. With $5.28 billion in arms exports to Pakistan from 2019–2023, including PL-15 missiles and J-10C jets used against India, China has significantly bolstered Pakistan’s military might. This has tilted the regional balance, strained India-China relations, and sparked concerns over South Asia’s stability. While Beijing pushes for de-escalation post-ceasefire, its dual role as Pakistan’s arms supplier raises questions about its intentions. The ceasefire also hit Chinese defense stocks, which dropped 9%, reflecting the economic stakes in this geopolitical chess game.
