Post Operation Sindoor, India's prompt response to the Pahalgam terror attack, the spotlight has shifted from the battlefield to the boardroom.

The operation has unmasked a dangerous double play by China, one that raises urgent questions about national security, trade policy, and regional power dynamics.

During the cross-border escalation, Pakistan deployed a range of advanced weapon systems, many supplied or developed in collaboration with Beijing. These included JF-17 Thunder jets, J-10C multi-role fighters, HQ-9 air defense systems, and Wing Loong drones, a Chinese UCAV platform previously seen in Pakistani surveillance missions near the LoC.
