China Backs Pakistan, Urges Fair Investigation Into Pahalgam IncidentAmid rising tensions between India and Pakistan after the Pahalgam attack, China has come out in support of Pakistan’s call for a “fair and impartial investigation.” Speaking during a press briefing, China’s foreign ministry emphasized the need for an objective probe into the attack that claimed several lives and worsened diplomatic relations in South Asia.
China’s statement is seen as a significant diplomatic development, given the sensitive timing and India’s growing resentment over external interference. While Beijing expressed condolences for the victims, it also underlined that accusations should be based on facts and evidence.
The Indian government, meanwhile, continues its crackdown on suspected networks behind the attack and maintains that cross-border elements were involved. With China’s stance adding a new layer of complexity, geopolitical analysts suggest this could further strain India-China ties, already tense since the 2020 Galwan clashes.
