Most of the countries around the world appreciated India right to self defence. It became clear that India would not face diplomatic heat if t retaliated militarily against Pakistan-sponsored terror.
China was strictly against the clash between India and Pakistan post the terror strike. China offered to list Azhar in return for India de-escalate. In 2016 and 2017, when China repeatedly blocked Azhar listing, it used to ask India to negotiate directly with Pakistan. India correctly interpreted this as a thin end of the wedge to try to get India to reopen talks with Pakistan. After the Pathankot attack in 2016, India had stopped official dialogue with Pakistan.
