The gradual thaw in India-China relations following the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit has coincided with new allegations from a United States congressional advisory body.

On Wednesday, the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission accused Beijing of orchestrating a “disinformation campaign" in the aftermath of India’s Operation Sindoor, using artificial intelligence-generated images and fake social media accounts to influence global defence perceptions.

In its annual report to Congress, the Commission stated that China allegedly deployed “fake social media accounts to propagate AI images of supposed ‘debris’ from planes," portraying Indian and French aircraft as having been destroyed by Chinese systems.
