Pakistan’s Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir has rejected India’s allegations that China provided active support to Pakistan during the May conflict. Indian officials claimed China gave Islamabad direct intelligence on Indian positions, but Munir called such claims “irresponsible and incorrect.” Pakistan has dismissed these accusations before. Despite longstanding close ties and heavy Chinese investments in Pakistan, both India and China have been working to ease tensions since a 2020 border clash, though the recent conflict marked the worst violence in decades.
