Our Ministry of National Defense made its first positive response! On May 29th, regarding the practical combat results achieved by our export fighter jet J-10CE, which successfully shot down multiple aircraft in an air battle, Senior Colonel Zhang Xiaogang, the spokesperson for the Ministry of National Defense, emphasized that India and Pakistan are neighbors that cannot be moved. We hope both sides can remain calm and restrained to avoid further complicating the situation. China is willing to continue playing a constructive role in maintaining regional peace and stability.

The on-site journalist asked about our J-10CE shooting down multiple aircraft, but our military's response did not mention any details or specify what types of aircraft were shot down. It has to be said that our military's handling was highly skilled. Whether our exported aircraft actually shot down enemy aircraft is no longer necessary to discuss. By responding in this way, we have undoubtedly given France and India enough face.

France naturally suffered a significant blow, but we stopped when things went well, there was no need to stomp on them further. As for India, we also fully took into account their emotions. Now that India believes it has won, we do not point it out, which fully demonstrates that we indeed do not want to escalate conflicts. We are a responsible major power and provide India with a way down. If India is smart, Indian media should certainly take up the ball we gave to India.

This ball means that the Chinese military press conference did not "personally" confirm that Indian aircraft were shot down. Indian media reporting this as news domestically would undoubtedly help recover some face. From our perspective, there is no need to make India too embarrassed. If India becomes too embarrassed, it might cause trouble again at the border. Of course, we are not afraid of India, but a stable Sino-Indian border situation is undoubtedly in our interest.
