The Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson said, "China is closely following the ongoing situation between India and Pakistan and is deeply concerned about the escalation. We strongly urge both sides to act in the larger interest of peace and stability, exercise calm and restraint, return to the track of political settlement through peaceful means, and refrain from any action that could further escalate tension."
