China Claims Mediation in India-Pakistan Tensions
China's foreign minister said that China helped to calm down the tensions between India and Pakistan after a terror attack in May 2023.
But people in India, including a politician named Asaduddin Owaisi, say that China did not help at all and that India handled the situation on its own.
The terror attack happened in a place called Pahalgam and killed 26 people.
India then did something called Operation Sindoor to fight back.
China says they helped in many fights around the world, but India says China did not help in their fight.
China also gives Pakistan a lot of weapons.
