According to the Singapore Lianhe Zaobao report, Bloomberg reported that Ashok Kumar, director of the Center for Joint Operations Research of India's Ministry of National Defense, said in an interview that during the May conflict between India and Pakistan, China provided air defense and satellite intelligence support to Pakistan, assisting Pakistan in redeploying its radar systems and adjusting satellite monitoring against India. This shows that Beijing's involvement in the India-Pakistan conflict exceeds external perceptions.

It is truly a case of blaming the bed for sleeplessness. Instead of taking responsibility for their own inability to defeat Pakistan, India wants to pin the blame on China. The think tank of India's Ministry of National Defense is evidently one that only knows how to shift blame, rather than providing valuable analysis reports to the Indian military. Such reports will have negative impacts on the Indian military.

Even if we were to consider the statement from India's think tank as true, and China merely provided some air defense and satellite intelligence support to Pakistan, then what does it say about India's strength if they still lost in the conflict with Pakistan? Therefore, India should not attempt to shift the blame for failure onto China. Although China's aircraft are indeed advanced, India should not pin their losses on China either.
