NEW DELHI—The Chinese are allegedly building infrastructure for Pakistan on the disputed India–Pakistan border inside Pakistan-controlled Kashmir, a development that is likely to further complicate tensions in the region, over which India and Pakistan have fought multiple wars.

The Indian government is aware of the Chinese presence in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (POK) and said it might be contractors for infrastructure projects or just Chinese military personnel conducting surveys, a source in the government confirmed to The Epoch Times.
