India still has its eyes on us! Although India launched an attack on Pakistan's native targets, this time India seems to have shown restraint! After India attacked the targets within Pakistan, it was India itself that came forward to justify its actions. On May 7th, the Indian Ministry of Defense stated in a released statement: Our actions are well-targeted, cautious, and will not cause escalation. Pakistani military facilities were not targeted. India demonstrated considerable restraint in both target selection and the manner of action. India also indicated when briefing five countries that it neither chose to strike Pakistan's military installations, nor its civilians, nor high-value economic targets, but only targeted "9 terrorist infrastructure targets" in Pakistan. Judging from India's actions, these signs all suggest that India's attack appears more like venting rather than a full-scale confrontation with Pakistan. A foreign expert stated that although India retaliated this time, its attitude remains restrained because India is very concerned about China's stance. The expert believes that if India were to engage in a full-scale conflict with Pakistan, it would transform from a regional player with multiple options into a pawn overly reliant on other countries. This is because India lacks strong defense industries to support a prolonged war with Pakistan. The expert further stated that India is worried about China's aid to Pakistan. Regardless of China's position, it will not face international pressure, whereas India risks being weakened by being dragged into war. This situation is something India cannot afford. Therefore, an India-Pakistan war will not actually break out. Clearly, India's choice of restrained response is undoubtedly due to keeping its eyes on us. India's attitude also indirectly indicates that we don't need to do anything to play a positive role in regional peace. Whether or not India views us favorably, keeping India calm is undoubtedly good news for regional peace!
