Tensions and Truths: Chinese Military Denies Arms Supply to Pakistan Amid Clashes

The Chinese military refuted claims about its Xi'an Y-20 aircraft delivering arms to Pakistan, warning legal actions for spreading misinformation. With India and Pakistan in conflict, China urged for diplomatic resolution, emphasizing its role as a key arms supplier to Pakistan.

The Chinese military has officially denied reports alleging that its largest military cargo plane, the Xi'an Y-20, has delivered arms to Pakistan. The People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAF) issued a strong warning against those spreading such rumors, threatening legal repercussions.

A statement from the Chinese Defense Ministry labeled the claims as false, demonstrating their point with images marked 'rumour.'

Amidst escalating tensions, China called for a diplomatic resolution, urging India and Pakistan to maintain ceasefire efforts. Beijing emphasized its commitment to regional peace, with plans to facilitate dialogue and negotiations, aiming for a political settlement that ensures long-term stability.
