Pakistan Dumps Trump, Credits China for Operation Sindoor Ceasefire

• Pakistan initially credited former US President Donald Trump for the ceasefire in 'Operation Sindoor' (May 2025) with India.
• Pakistan has now made a U-turn, crediting China for mediating the ceasefire during 'Operation Sindoor'.
• Pakistan Foreign Ministry spokesperson Tahir Andrabi confirmed China's claim of mediation, citing diplomatic contacts.
• India maintains that the ceasefire occurred due to Pakistan's DGMO request, denying any third-party intervention.
• China's claim of mediation mirrors earlier assertions by Trump regarding his role in de-escalating tensions.

Why It Matters: Pakistan's shifting allegiance from US to China for ceasefire credit highlights its opportunistic foreign policy.
