International News: Pakistan Army has claimed that it has used J-10C aircrafts received from China against India's Rafale and Sukhoi aircrafts. These aircrafts were equipped with long-range air-to-air PL-15 missiles. While J-10C is being praised a lot in Chinese social media, the Xi Jinping government has maintained silence on the whole matter. In this fight between India and Pakistan , the Pakistani army used Chinese weapons extensively. China's HQ 9 air defense system proved to be a huge failure in stopping India's attack. At the same time, the Chinese are calling J-10C

China's Diplomatic Approach

A great success for China. China has given a statement on this whole matter with great caution. Let's understand the whole matter... According to the report of Hong Kong newspaper South China Morning Post, the Chinese government has maintained this silence very thoughtfully. There are geopolitical and military reasons behind this. Chinese government's Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said that he was not aware that Chinese aircraft were involved in the fight between India and Pakistan. Earlier, Pakistan's Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar had revealed that during the Indian attack, the Chinese ambassador was sitting in his office till 4 am. In its official statement, China had only asked both the countries to exercise restraint.

What was China afraid of?

The report says that the main reason behind China not accepting it is the ongoing diplomatic and military tension with India. Relations between India and China have not been normal since the Galwan violence. On the other hand, Pakistan is China's evergreen friend and top buyer of weapons. According to the report, this dispute between India and Pakistan started at a time when the environment in the world has become very complicated and China's security situation is also not good. China is having a trade war with America. Apart from this, there is a dispute with America regarding technology and military encirclement. China is also in tension with Japan, Taiwan and the Philippines.

China Aims to Boost Arms Sales

China has launched a full campaign to accelerate the export of its weapons. China especially wants to keep the Gulf countries away from US weapons. The arms market in this area is currently dominated by companies of Western countries. In recent years, the world has seen doubts about China's military equipment. Even within China, there have been doubts about the capability of its weapons. The reason for this is that China has no experience of fighting a war. China hopes that now there will be a huge increase in the sale of J-10C.
