China aided Pakistan with live intel in India conflict, says army official
NEW DELHI: China gave Islamabad 'live inputs' on key Indian positions during Pakistan's deadly conflict with its neighbour in May, the deputy chief of India's army said on Friday, calling for urgent upgrades to the country's air defence systems. The nuclear-armed rivals used missiles, drones and artillery fire during the four-day fighting - their worst in decades - triggered by an April attack on Hindu tourists in Indian Kashmir that New Delhi blamed on Islamabad, before agreeing to a ceasefire. Pakistan has denied involvement in the April attack. India fought two adversaries during the conflict, with Pakistan being the 'front face' while China provided 'all possible support', Lieutenant General Rahul Singh said at a defence industry event in New Delhi. 'When the DGMO (director general of military operations) level talks were going on, Pakistan ... said that we know that your such and such important vector is primed and it is ready for action ... he was getting live inputs from China,' he said. Singh did not elaborate on how India knew about the live inputs from China. The Chinese foreign and defence ministries, and Pakistan army's public relations wing did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment. India's relationship with China was strained after a 2020 border clash that sparked a four-year military standoff, but tensions began to ease after the countries reached a pact to step back in October. India had earlier said that although Pakistan is closely allied with China, there was no sign of any actual help from Beijing during the conflict. Regarding the possibility of China providing satellite imagery or other real-time intelligence, India's chief of defence staff had said such imagery was commercially available and could have been procured from China or elsewhere. Pakistani officials have previously dismissed allegations of receiving active support from China in the conflict, but have not commented specifically on whether Beijing gave any satellite and radar help during the fighting. Beijing, which welcomed the ceasefire in May, has helped Pakistan's struggling economy with investments and financial support since 2013. The Chinese foreign minister also vowed support to Pakistan in safeguarding its national sovereignty and territorial integrity when he met his Pakistani counterpart days after the ceasefire. Singh said that Turkey also provided key support to Pakistan during the fighting, equipping it with Bayraktar and 'numerous other' drones, and 'trained individuals'. Ankara has strong ties with Islamabad, and had expressed solidarity with it during the clash, prompting Indians to boycott everything from Turkish coffee to holidays in the country. Turkey's defence ministry did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. - Reuters

SCCC strengthens East Malaysia economic ties through Sarawak visit
Datuk Frankie Liew (center) with Datuk Seri Lau Wei Chiang JP (third from right), Temenggong Datuk Chin Nyuk Fei (third from left) and other Sarawak Chinese leaders. KOTA KINABALU (July 4): The Sabah-China Chamber of Commerce (SCCC), led by President Datuk Frankie Liew, held a meaningful exchange session with Sarawak Chinese community leaders yesterday, reaching a consensus to maintain close communication and cooperation. The aim is to promote economic collaboration between Sabah and Sarawak, inject new vitality into regional development, and position East Malaysia as a strategic hub for Chinese investment into ASEAN. Liew visited Kuching where he paid courtesy calls on local Chinese community leaders and municipal council chairpersons. He was hosted at a luncheon by Datuk Seri Lau Wei Chiang JP, President of the Federation of Foochow Associations of Malaysia and Executive President of the World Federation of Foochow Associations. Both parties engaged in in-depth discussions on future cooperation opportunities. Among the prominent Sarawak Chinese leaders present at the gathering were Temenggong Datuk Chin Nyuk Fei, the highest-ranking Chinese leader in Kuching Division, Padawan Municipal Council chairman Chen Kai, Datuk Kong Chai Hing, Datuk Chai Chuan Wei and Chen Zezhang. Liew stated that the purpose of this visit was to enhance economic cooperation between Sabah and Sarawak and to jointly promote investment and trade activities between East Malaysia and China. 'The main objective of this trip is to strengthen collaboration between Sabah and Sarawak in the economic, cultural and social spheres, especially in attracting Chinese investments,' he explained. He emphasized that Sabah and Sarawak are geographically adjacent, rich in talent and resources, and strategically located — making them ideal gateways for Chinese enterprises investing in East Malaysia and the broader ASEAN region. During the meeting with Sarawak Chinese leaders, various potential cooperation projects were discussed, including those in manufacturing, agriculture, and infrastructure development. Liew stressed that both Sabah and Sarawak possess abundant natural resources and favorable investment environments. Their strengths in energy and industrial park development offer unique advantages. Collaboration between the two states would enable synergy and contribute significantly to regional economic growth. He also highlighted that the SCCC had previously accompanied a Sabah state government delegation on an official visit to Jilin Province, China, where they signed cooperation agreements worth approximately RM600 million. These projects cover sectors such as agriculture and manufacturing and have already brought substantial economic benefits and job opportunities to Sabah. 'Through this visit, we hope to deepen our cooperation with Sarawak and attract more Chinese enterprises to invest in East Malaysia, driving shared economic prosperity,' Liew said. He noted that this meeting marked an important step forward in the economic collaboration between Sabah and Sarawak. Both sides will continue maintaining close contact and actively pursue concrete cooperation projects that bring fresh momentum to regional economic development. 'Sabah and Sarawak share bright prospects for cooperation. With complementary advantages in resources, industries and policy environments, both states can offer Chinese businesses more opportunities to expand into Southeast Asia,' he added.
