Debatable. Who did China receive almost immediate assistance from in the Covid outbreak's early days? Pakistan stepped up. A nation never really knows when it may need its true allies, until that day arrives.
US interest's aligned with Pakistan as long as there was a USSR.
Do you think China's interest will always align with Pakistan if either China or Pakistan (or both) make peace with India?
There are no permanent allies and enemies in geopolitics. Relationships are transactional and issue based.
Having said that, if China has not dumped North Korea despite the headache it has carried over the years (with no apparent benefit for China), I doubt it will dump Pakistan so easily. Perhaps China (or rather the CCP) values long term relationships more than the Western colonialists.
