India Says China Provided Intelligence To Pakistan During Border Clashes
China provided direct logistical and intelligence support to Pakistan during the recent 15-day border conflict with India, marking a significant escalation in Beijing's involvement in South Asia's most volatile rivalry, Bloomberg has reported.
According to Ashok Kumar, director general of the Center for Joint Warfare Studies (CENJOWS), a research group operating under India's Ministry of Defense, China helped Pakistan reorganize its radar systems and satellite coverage to better track Indian troop movements and military deployments. The support reportedly occurred in the days following the April 22 massacre in Indian-administered Kashmir, which killed 27 mostly Indian tourists and triggered the worst fighting between India and Pakistan in five decades.
'It helped them to redeploy their air defense radar so that any actions which we do from the aerial route is known to them,' Kumar said, noting that China's assistance made Pakistani forces more responsive during the conflict.
While India's government has not publicly confirmed China's involvement, Kumar's remarks suggest that Beijing's role extended far beyond weapons sales, encompassing real-time battlefield support. Pakistan has acknowledged using Chinese-supplied military hardware, including the J-10C fighter jets and PL-15 air-to-air missiles, in the conflict. However, it has not confirmed receiving satellite or radar assistance.
