Beijing’s CCTV Admission: How ‘Operation Sindhoor’ Exposed the China-Pakistan Combat Nexus

From Denials to Documentation: Evidence of China’s ‘Live Lab’ Support During the 2025 Indo-Pak Conflict

In a momentous shift in diplomatic transparency, China formally confirmed on May 7, 2026, that it provided direct, on-site technical support to the Pakistani military during the 2025 conflict with India, known in New Delhi as Operation Sindhoor. The confirmation came via an interview aired on China’s state broadcaster, CCTV, featuring engineers from the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC). This marks the first time Beijing has moved beyond denials to admit active personnel involvement during the escalation.

Zhang Heng, an engineer from AVIC's Chengdu Aircraft Design and Research Institute, provided an actual account of the conditions during the four-day war in May 2025. Zhang described the environment as a physical and mental "torment," with temperatures at the Pakistani base soaring to nearly 50°C (122°F) by late morning.

He said that the team worked despite the "roar of fighter jets taking off" and the "constant wail of air-raid sirens," highlighting the proximity of Chinese technical teams to the front lines. The team’s primary objective was to ensure that Pakistan’s J-10CE fighter jets, the export variant of China's most advanced multirole fighter, could truly perform at full combat potential.

Indian Deputy Chief of Army Staff Lt. Gen. Rahul R. Singh previously proclaimed that China used the conflict as a "live lab" to test its hardware against India’s French-made Rafale jets. The CCTV report appeared to confirm this by highlighting how the J-10CE "passed a major test". Civic Job Scam Crackdown: Former TMC Minister Sujit Bose Arrested by ED

Zhang referred to the experience as a "testament to the deep bond" between the two nations, reinforcing that nearly 80% of Pakistan’s arms now originate from China. The Shadow of the Shell: CBI’s 17-Point Strike Unmasks the ₹27,337 Crore Reliance ADA Fraud

So, now it’s clear whatever our military was saying was correct and what US and Rahul Gandhi was narrating was a lie.
