Big powers--which China certainly is now--often have double standards. Look at America: Saudi Mullahs (the King and down) are okay while Iran's are not okay. Just saying
Yes, on the whole, China will stay 'neutral' about Kashmir in public diplomacy but will continue to support Pakistan in practical terms. Pakistan truly is China's best friend especially in the India-China equation. It doesn't even need elaboration. Perhaps even after the border disputes between India-China are resolved they will remain significant rivals.
Just to add to that, while the Chinese people do have VERY warm feelings towards us, China's stance is not blind emotionalism.
It will simply continue to be in Chinese national interest to stick with us, and vice versa.
And I don't see our common interests diverging anytime soon.
