There are some opinions here that China is being too diplomatic to India. This criticism would be valid before the 2020 border crisis. I would argue that China's diplomacy today is not the same as what it did back in 2017.
Yes, China is sending condolences to India over their dead Army Chief. But at the same time, China is not easing up at Aksai Chin and South Tibet. Livefire exercises are still going on in Tibet. More and more powerful military hardware is pouring into the WTC. Its akin to giving a friendly smile at India while sharpening your sword. China is showing a friendly face, but if India tries something, China will not be messed with.
Same as Pakistan. Pakistan sent condolences to India. While the memory of Pakistan teaching India a lesson in 2019 still quite fresh on both sides.
China and Pakistan are not naive to show India some sympathy. To be shown sympathy from your sworn enemies is actually a type of subtle mockery for a so called 'Superpower'. Just like the Jawans at Galwan needing rescue and treatment from the PLA, after ambushing the PLA themselves. There are few greater humiliation than sympathy from your sworn enemies.
