In the aftermath of Operation Sindoor, which saw India launch significant military strikes on Pakistan, Beijing's role has been scrutinized. While China maintains a strategic partnership with Pakistan, its response to the conflict has been notably subdued. Analysts suggest that China views Pakistan not as a liability but as a strategic asset, leveraging its instability to advance its own geopolitical objectives. This dynamic underscores China's broader strategy in South Asia, where it positions itself as a stabilizing force, often at the expense of India's regional influence. The situation highlights the complex interplay of alliances and rivalries in the region. (PC: Reuters)
