Foreign AffairsRe: How Indian-pakistan War Exposed China - Full Documentary by BlocksNG(m): 9:48pm On May 11, 2025
[define summary.....
hotwax:
China may be a friend of Russia, but they have opposing principles. Russia still remains a genuine world power that can be trusted.

On May 10th, Trump announced that after a long night of negotiations, India and Pakistan had agreed to a full ceasefire. It seemed like an escalating South Asian war was stopped by Trump's signature negotiation skills without a single soldier being sent to the front lines. The two feuding neighbors reached an agreement and the world's media went into overdrive. Stock markets surged and it felt like Trump saved the world once again. However, just a few hours after the ceasefire announcement, Pakistan, as China's close ally, launched drones at India, heavily targeting border positions.

This tore up the agreement and threw the newly achieved peace right out the window. What's even more interesting is that while Trump said that USChina trade talks in Switzerland were going well, China's Shinua news agency released a statement saying that China will never sacrifice its principles to reach an agreement with the US. Trump didn't back down and neither did China. Both sides were playing their cards behind the scenes.

This wasn't a mistake, an accident or misfire. It was clearly sabotage. From the beginning of the IndiaPakistan crisis, China has been the one stirring up instability. The US has been pushing companies to relocate their supply chains outside of China, and India is seen as the biggest beneficiary. In recent years, foreign companies like Foxcon, Apple, Tesla, and Google have been flocking to India. What manufacturers fear most is instability, uncertainty, and war. And the CCP specialty is creating instability. How do you make the world question India's ability to take over manufacturing? It's simple. Start a war.

News headlines filled with border skirmishes, missile attacks, and nuclear war threats would naturally make foreign investors rethink whether to move factories out of China and into India. This isn't the first time that China has done this. It just chose to have someone else do the dirty work while staying behind the scenes. and that someone else is its close ally Pakistan. China and Pakistan are deeply tied and China is no longer a third party in this matter. Military sales, satellites, missiles, oil routes, ports, China has a hand in everything along with billions of dollars in infrastructure loans to Pakistan. Recently, Pakistan even asked China to increase the currency swap limit between their countries.

Currently the currency swap limit is 30 billion yen but Pakistan wants it raised to 40 billion yen and aims to push for more use of the UN in international trade. In short whether Pakistan takes action depends on China's approval. How far it goes also depends on Beijing. That's why when Trump helped broker peace, Beijing immediately turned its back and let its ally open fire. After the Indian Air Force's sinned air strike on May 7th, Pakistan's foreign minister proudly announced that they used China's J10C fighter jets to shoot down five Indian planes, China state-run media immediately followed up with intense propaganda, claiming domestic weapons have achieved worldclass standards. Stock markets surged, public opinion exploded, and wolf warriors were excited as if the Chinese military had already stormed New Delhi. But the reality was far more brutal. In this conflict, all four of Pakistan's Chinese-made PL-15 longrange air-to-air missiles failed to detonate and fell into Indian territory almost undamaged. The Indian military quickly seized them and sent them to the lab, where they're now being dissected layer by layer to examine the radar guidance, data links, and terminal algorithms that China takes pride in.

The Chinese military's so-called advanced technology is now being laid bare for the enemy to study. Back in the Cold War, a US aimed nine-side winder missile was mistakenly fired over the Taiwan Strait and fell to the ground. The Chinese military collected it and handed it over to the Soviet Union, which ultimately led to the creation of the K13 missile. Now the tables have turned and it's China turning its prized military products into free teaching samples. What's even more absurd is that it wasn't just the PL15 missiles that failed.
Several other missiles malfunctioned or missed their targets. According to Pakistani military data, both sides flew about 125 stories in this round of conflict with Pakistan firing dozens of air-to-air missiles. Only five hit their targets, giving a hit rate of under 8%. Another version is even harsher. Pakistan fired just nine missiles, of which five hit, and the other four were duds. China has long touted indigenous development and performance leadership, but now all of this is exposed under the enemy's microscope.

China's meticulously crafted narrative has now crashed on the battlefield. The biggest problem with the Indian Air Force is its international system of equipment. With French foralls, Russian SU30s and M29s, different models cannot integrate data links, severely limiting operational coordination. On top of that, they haven't received US military GPS systems, which gives them an inherent disadvantage in navigation and guidance. Their most advanced weapon, the Meteor air-to-air missile, comes from France.

It's uncertain whether it's the latest version and it's in limited quality with slow deliveries. The rest are mostly older Soviet era missiles. The Pakistani Air Force on the other hand possesses a large number of A120 and A9 Sidewinder missiles from the US as well as PL-15 missiles provided by China. Previously Pakistan had used A120s, A9s and A7s to shoot down several Indian SU30s and other Russian-made aircraft. Additionally, Pakistan has access to Chinese weapons and data systems which can be directly connected to Chinese satellites for support. But the theoretical advantage did not translate into real combat effectiveness. Instead, missiles failed to detonate, the hit rate was low, and electronic warfare interference was ineffective, exposing deep quality issues within China's military industrial system.

In terms of overall military strength, India's advantages are even more evident. In the air, India leads far ahead in airto ground strike capabilities. Long range surfaceto-surface missiles and air defense interception systems. In naval power, India already has two aircraft carrier battle groups while Pakistan has almost no naval dominance. In terms of army equipment, India's total number of tanks and armored vehicles far surpasses Pakistan's. Recently, India signed an agreement with Israel for Laura air-to-air ballistic missiles. These missiles have a maximum range of 400 km, supersonic speeds, and both ground and naval launch capabilities. Once active service, India will be able to launch precise strikes on Pakistan's deep targets far beyond the reach of

Pakistani aircraft, drastically limiting Pakistan's strategic response options. On the early morning of May 8th, Pakistan took the first step by using drones and missiles to attack multiple military targets in northern and western India. India quickly retaliated on the morning of May 8th, launching large-scale strikes on Pakistan's air defense radars and missile positions, including the Chinese-made Hongi 9B system, which was confirmed to be destroyed. On the morning of May 9th, India once again launched missiles and drone strikes on targets such as Jamu, Patangot, and Udampur. After Pakistan returned fire, the Indian Navy initiated a strike program in the Arabian Sea with reports of two aircraft carrier battle groups participating in the operation. At 2:20 a.m. on May 10th, Shinua's reporters in Islamabad and Rahul Pindi heard a series of explosions and the Pakistani military confirmed that Indian missiles had indeed targeted the Nurean air base. This series of exchanges indicates that the conflict has spread nationwide with air raids, air defense, and naval strikes all fully underway. What surprised India's intelligence agencies the most, was the discovery that followed.

According to multiple intelligence analyses, it was suspected that a large proportion of the personnel involved in the J10C fighter mission, those controlling the air defense systems and even some of the drone operators were likely active duty Chinese military personnel. This model had previously appeared in battlefields in Syria, Africa and even Yemen. But this time it appeared in the South Asian theater on the edge of the China India confrontation zone with a completely different significance.

China is no longer just the financeier behind the scenes. It has become the main player on the battlefield. However, despite such deep involvement, the battlefield momentum was still gradually being suppressed by India. According to the battle damage data, Pakistan experienced significantly heavier casualties and equipment losses. India not only gained air superiority but also dominated in electronic warfare and guidance interference. China's full-fledged show of strength with money, technology, and manpower failed to suppress India. Instead, it turned into a tactical defeat. Many are asking why is China pushing so hard? Knowing full well that the weapons could fail and knowing that the opponent would retaliate, why still support Pakistan to confront India headon? The answer is simple.

Because China can't afford to lose. Currently, over 80% of China's oil exports must pass through the maritime chokeold. If a conflict breaks out between China and the US, the US military could easily cut off its supply chain with just a few ships. The problem is referred to as the Malaca dilemma and is considered the top strategic nightmare for the highest levels of government. That's why for the past decade, China has been building pipelines in central Asia, building docks in Myanmar and dredging islands in the South China Sea. But the most ambitious project is still the IndiaPakistan Economic Corridor. Starting from the Persian Gulf, oil is delivered to the southern Pakistani port of Guadar. Then transported by land and pipeline, crossing Pakistanic controlled Kashmir to reach China's Shing Jang. Once this route is opened, China could bypass the Malaa Strait and establish a landlife line.

The problem is this vital artery is blocked in Kashmir. Geographically, China and Pakistan do not have a direct economic corridor. The only viable path is through the disputed IndiaPakistan region, Kashmir. This is why India has always strongly opposed the China Pakistan corridor considering it an infringement of sovereignty. Meanwhile, China has tried to disguise its support but has consistently allowed and supported Pakistan in strengthening its control over Kashmir. Simply put, this is not only India's pain point but also a critical area for China. Right now, two things seem to be unfolding. On one side, the China Pakistan economic corridor remains incomplete and the oil pipeline is blocked. On the other side, a sudden report emerged that Kashmir has confirmed oil reserves of 9.1 billion barrels.

Pakistan has external debt reaching 130 billion US, foreign trade exchange reserves under 5 billion US and an electricity supply on the verge of collapse. China quickly seized the opportunity and presented a tempting offer. If Pakistan takes Kashmir, China will help it develop oil, clear debts, and turn Pakistan into an energy exporter. This is a typical tactic used by China using false economic prospects to lock a vulnerable country into a strategic choice. Just like Sri Lanka,Venezuela, Djibouti, and Zimbabwe, each of them was bound to China in this way. And clearly Pakistan is China's most valued strategic pawn this time. What is China's motivation in intervening in the IndiaPakistan conflict? Anti-terrorism, national unity, or to support its Muslim brothers? None of the above. China wants oil. It wants access to the Indian Ocean. It wants energy security. And it wants an energy lifeline that's not controlled by the US military.
Kashmir is the final mile on that path. As long as this mile remains unstable, the entire corridor will forever remain a fantasy.
