Beijing, according to Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, mediated a number of international disputes, such as the May impasse between India and Pakistan in the wake of the Pahalgam terror incident in Jammu and Kashmir.
Speaking on Tuesday at the Symposium on the International Situation and China's Foreign Relations, Wang stated that Beijing had adopted a "just and objective stance" to promote peace and concentrated on treating "both symptoms and root causes."
Local and international confrontations erupted more frequently this year than at any other point since the end of World War II. At the Beijing symposium, Wang stated, "Geopolitical turbulence continued to spread."
We have adopted a fair and impartial approach, concentrating on treating both the symptoms and the underlying causes, in order to create enduring peace.
We mediated in northern Myanmar, the Iranian nuclear issue, the tensions between Pakistan and India, the conflicts between Palestine and Israel, and the latest confrontation between Cambodia and Thailand in accordance with this Chinese method of resolving hotspot situations," he stated.
Beijing's involvement in the May 7-10 Operation Sindoor war between India and Pakistan has come under intense scrutiny and condemnation, especially in light of China's purported military aid to Islamabad.
Deputy Chief of Army Staff Lt. Gen. Rahul R. Singh claimed Beijing exploited the conflict as a "live lab" when it erupted, although he did not provide specific details.
Gen. Singh accused Beijing of trying to harm India by "killing with a borrowed knife," a reference to purported Chinese backing for Pakistan, and claimed that China's tactics during Operation Sindoor was based on its antiquated military philosophy of the "36 stratagems."
The Indian Army, meanwhile, celebrated Operation Sindoor on Tuesday and highlighted ten significant accomplishments made by the military in 2025.
"Terrorist camps on the other side of the border were destroyed. Seven sites were neutralized by the Indian Army, and the Indian Air Force destroyed the other two.
Indian Army air defense forces effectively neutralized all threats, preventing damage and deaths, despite Pakistan's attempts to use drones to target military and civilian installations.
Indian Army ground-based weapons were used to demolish over a dozen terror launch facilities along the Line of Control, according to the Army.
"A ceasefire request was sent to the Indian Army's director general of military operations by his Pakistani counterpart. It further stated that an agreement was reached to cease shooting and military action.
A terror strike that killed 26 innocent people in the Pahalgam valley of Jammu and Kashmir on April 22 set off a brief but fierce military conflict between India and Pakistan in May.
In response, India launched Operation Sindoor, which targeted Pakistan's and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir's terror infrastructure.
India has continuously denied any third-party mediation, insisting that direct military-to-military communication was used to end the four-day conflict.
According to New Delhi, Pakistan's Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) called his Indian counterpart after suffering significant damage, and both parties decided to cease all firing and military activity on land, in the air, and at sea as of May 10.
