Q: Amid escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, India launched military strikes on targets in Pakistan on the early morning of May 7, which met strong response from Pakistan. What’s China’s comment?

A: China finds India’s military operation early this morning regrettable. We are concerned about the ongoing situation. India and Pakistan are and will always be each other’s neighbors. They’re both China’s neighbors as well. China opposes all forms of terrorism. We urge both sides to act in the larger interest of peace and stability, remain calm, exercise restraint and refrain from taking actions that may further complicate the situation.
