Chinese state media

Beijing's state broadcaster frames the meeting around Wang Yi's bilaterals — notably with Iran's security official — foregrounding China's diplomacy rather than India's chairship, and stressing multipolar cooperation over any India-led agenda.

“At the BRICS National Security Meeting, Wang Yi met the top Iranian security official.”

Beijing's framing of the 25 May Great Hall meeting: Xi calls Sharif an 'old friend,' stresses an 'unbreakable' friendship and a 'community with a shared future,' and praises Pakistan's Middle East mediation — no mention of any India backfire.

“中巴是好朋友、好伙伴、好兄弟，要构建更紧密的中巴命运共同体。 (China and Pakistan are good friends, partners and brothers, building a closer shared future.)”

Beijing's wire stresses the coercive bargain: Modi agreed to curb Russian oil in exchange for the tariff cut. Plays up India's 'strategic autonomy' and parallel China-India dialogue, framing Delhi as resisting being pulled into Washington's orbit.

“特朗普称莫迪同意不再购买俄罗斯石油，美国将相应下调对印度关税。 (Trump says Modi agreed to stop buying Russian oil; the US will cut tariffs on India accordingly.)”
