2 min readNew DelhiUpdated: May 13, 2026 04:44 AM IST MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal in New Delhi Tuesday. (ANI)A year after Operation Sindoor, India on Tuesday called out China on its support to Pakistan during the counter-terror offensive and underlined that “responsible nations must reflect” on how supporting efforts to protect terrorist infrastructure would affect their “reputation”.The comments came days after Chinese media reports confirmed that China provided on-site technical support to Pakistan during its four-day military conflict with India.The Ministry of External Affairs’ official spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal, responding to questions, said, “We have seen these reports that corroborate what was known earlier. Operation Sindoor was a precise, targeted and calibrated response to the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, aimed at destroying state-sponsored terrorist infrastructure operating out of Pakistan and at its behest,” he said at his weekly media briefing.“It is for nations who consider themselves responsible to reflect whether supporting attempts to protect terrorist infrastructure affects their reputation and standing,” he added.Last week, China’s state broadcaster CCTV aired an interview with Zhang Heng, an engineer from the Aviation Industry Corporation of China’s (AVIC) Chengdu Aircraft Design and Research Institute that develops China’s advanced fighter aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicle design. Zhang had provided technical support to Pakistan during the four-day war last May, Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post reported, quoting CCTV. Pakistan’s air force operates a fleet of China-made J-10CE jets, produced by an AVIC subsidiary.Stay updated with the latest - Click here to follow us on Instagram© The Indian Express Pvt LtdTags:Operation SindoorAdvertisementLoading Recommendations...AdvertisementLive BlogCBSE Class 12 Result 2026 Live Updates: Result ‘coming soon’, says Umang App13 minutes agoUPSC CSE Prelims Admit Card 2026 Live Updates: Commission will release admit cards at upsc.gov.in, upsconline.gov.in33 minutes agoIran US War News Live Updates: Protesters ejected from Senate hearing as Hegseth faces questions5 hours agoGoogle Android Show 2026 Live Updates: New Googlebook laptops, Gemini Intelligence, Android Auto updates, and more5 hours agoWest Bengal Live Updates: Sujit Bose sent to 10-day ED custody in municipal recruitment scam5 hours ago
