Chinese Military Technology Gains Traction Amidst India-Pakistan Conflict

The recent India-Pakistan clash highlights the effectiveness of Chinese fighter jets, raising national pride in China and heightening tensions regarding Taiwan.


Following Pakistan's claims of downing Indian jets using Chinese-made aircraft, there are implications for regional security in the South China Sea and Taiwan. The performance of these jets could influence future territorial disputes.



In a recent conflict between India and Pakistan, the efficacy of Chinese military technology has become a central topic of discussion. Pakistan's assertion that its air force downed several Indian fighter jets—flying on Chinese-made J-10C aircraft—comes at a time of heightened geopolitical tension in Asia. The success of these jets and accompanying Chinese missiles during the four-day skirmish has not only left a mark on India-Pakistan relations but also caught the eye of military analysts in China, Taiwan, and beyond.

Chinese media has proclaimed the J-10C fighters as symbols of national pride, with remarks highlighting their use in intimidating military drills near Taiwan. As these jets had yet to see real combat, the claims from Pakistan prompted a mix of skepticism and validation in China, with analysts eagerly interpreting the outcome. The nationalist publication, The Global Times, boasted that according to Taiwanese experts, the defense forces on the island stand little chance against the capabilities demonstrated by the J-10C.

While the Chinese government has not verified the specifics of the Pakistani claims—nor has India confirmed any aircraft losses—China's state broadcaster has stepped up its messaging. It noted that the J-10C had "achieved combat results for the first time," which some suggest could bolster Chinese ambitions around both Taiwan and the contested territories in the South China Sea.

Retired Colonel Zhou Bo of the Chinese military emphasized in his writings that the success of the J-10C could enhance China's confidence in resolving future territorial disputes. The ongoing situation could serve as a litmus test for military efficacy and nationalist sentiment in China as authorities move to frame military advancements as integral to national security and regional dominance.
