China's warplane combat debut over Kashmir riles tense geopolitics
Briefly

Pakistan recently reported that Chinese-made weapons successfully engaged Indian aircraft during cross-border hostilities, marking a significant moment for China's military technology. However, this achievement has led to cautious reactions among Chinese officials who fear that celebrating these successes could jeopardize ongoing diplomatic relations with India, especially as both nations have adhered to a ceasefire. While state media promotes China's military advancements, there is also a push for restraint to ensure regional stability amidst rising nationalistic sentiments in social discussions.
"The situation is being managed very carefully in China. There is no doubt that [Beijing] wants to show its military successes without provoking India, maintaining a fragile peace in Asia."
"Chinese diplomats are assessing the fallout from the recent engagements, concerned that any overt display of their military victory could disrupt the current ceasefire with India."
