The Chinese side will never let friends down at any time, clearly respond to Pakistan's request, and knock on India not to attempt to escalate the conflict.
The current principle of the United States is to abandon allies at critical moments. Ukraine, Afghanistan, Iraq, Kurdish armed forces, Japan and South Korea, the EU, Canada, etc. Unlike the U.S., as a responsible major country, we will never let friends down at any time. On international issues, we have always been clear in principle and distinct in position, and dare to act and take responsibility. For loyal friends, we will also firmly provide support and will never abandon friends like the U.S. does.
At the moment when the situation between India and Pakistan was tense, Pakistan made two requests to us, one was to apply for an increase in currency swap quotas, and the other was to request our participation in a fair investigation to help mediate the tensions between India and Pakistan this time. We actively responded to Pakistan's requests. We also accepted Pakistan's invitation for a phone call, and clarified our position during the call. Wang Yi expressed that he supports a fair investigation into the attack incident and supports Pakistan's anti-terrorism actions.
Meanwhile, we also emphasized that as Pakistan's staunch friend, we support the Pakistani side in safeguarding its sovereignty and security interests and oppose the escalation of the situation into a full-scale conflict. Obviously, this is also a warning to India, reminding it not to attempt to expand conflicts and undermine regional peace and stability. At the same time, we also clearly told India that if it attempts to worsen regional conflicts, we will definitely not stand idly by. Obviously, at the moment when Pakistan needed us most, as an old friend, we were still very supportive, showing the responsibility and commitment of a friend.
