Deadly Floods in India and Bangladesh Claim Over 38 Lives

An intelligence report reveals that China is leveraging its alliance with Pakistan to destabilize India, thereby avoiding direct military confrontation. According to CNN-News18, the analysis indicates that Beijing supports Islamabad both militarily and diplomatically, intending to engage India in regional conflicts. This partnership is viewed as a strategic maneuver during potential clashes between India and Pakistan, allowing China to trial its military technology while influencing global defense strategies.
China's support for Pakistan is crucial to the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), a $62 billion infrastructure initiative that provides China with strategic access to the Indian Ocean. Intelligence sources suggest that China will likely focus on asymmetric warfare tactics, including cyberwarfare and intelligence-sharing, to limit India's influence in the region.
The report highlights that China shields militant groups operating against India and may enhance arms supplies to Pakistan, including drones and missiles. Such developments could significantly reshape the geopolitical landscape of South Asia as India aligns more closely with Western allies such as the US, Japan, and Australia amid escalating tensions.
