China on Wednesday termed the shooting incident in Pakistan's Karachi city, in which a Chinese national was injured, as an "isolated case", days after the all-weather allies termed the bus explosion killing nine Chinese.

China said on Thursday it will send a team to Pakistan to help investigate a blast on a bus that killed 13 people, including nine Chinese workers, after it backed away from an earlier assertion that the explosion was a bomb attack.
