US EditionOp Sindoor Battered Pakistan, Rattled China: US Body Says Beijing Launched Fake News Against Rafale
- On Tuesday, the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission said China opportunistically used the May India–Pakistan clash to test weapons in real combat and advertise its arms, with no Chinese response yet.
- India launched missile strikes on the night of May 5 and 6 after the Pahalgam attack, triggering four days of missile, drone and artillery exchanges.
- Pakistan employed Chinese-made HQ-9, PL-15 and J-10C systems in combat, claiming at least six Indian aircraft downed including Rafales, while the report said China amplified these claims with disinformation.
- After four days of fighting, a US-brokered ceasefire ended on May 10, Pakistanis celebrated the truce and then launched Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos, striking over 20 Indian military sites.
- The episode bolstered China's defence-sales pitch, with Pakistan's battlefield claims used to promote Chinese systems and post-clash offers to Islamabad in June, while neighbours resumed joint drills and AMAN exercises.
