Beijing to PM Modi: Don’t raise Pakistan terror issue at BRICS

BEIJING: China on Thursday sent out a signal that it would object to any discussion about Pakistan's role in sheltering terrorists during the upcoming BRICS summit+ , which will be attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi+ . China is worried Modi may raise the issue at the meeting because he did so at the Goa summit of BRICS last year while describing Pakistan as the "mother-ship of terrorism".

"We also noticed that India, when it comes to Pakistan's counter-terrorism, has some concerns. I don't think this is an appropriate topic to be discussed at BRICS summit," Hua Chunying, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson, said at a briefing. She also indicated that raising the topic might affect the success of the summit because Chinese leaders may be forced to defend its close ally, Pakistan.

"The world is paying great attention to the BRICS summit. I hope relevant parties can work with China to ensure the success of the summit and make due contributions," Hua said. She meant the five members of BRICS including India when she mentioned "relevant parties".

This time the BRICS summit is taking place on September 3 in Xiamen in China, which regards Pakistan as an "all-weather friend". India is in a stronger position to raise the issue because US president Donald Trump recently accused Pakistan of sheltering terrorists and threatened to withdraw financial aid if Islamabad refuses to mend its ways. There are chances Chinese leaders might come to Pakistan's defence+ at the summit.

One of the main objectives of BRICS is to enhance cooperation between the five member countries in fighting against terrorism. But it is difficult for India to join hands in any meaningful manner unless Beijing adopts a different attitude on this issue when it comes to the role of Pakistan.

Hua said, "Pakistan is at forefront of counter terror efforts and has made sacrifices for this. The international community should recognize their contributions and sacrifices made by Pakistan."

She added, "China is willing to work with Pakistan and other countries to enhance our cooperation in counterterrorism. This serves the common interest of all parties."China routinely refers to "sacrifices" made by Pakistan in battling terrorism but refuses to discuss flawed policies of Pakistani military and government that results in bloodshed across the country.
In an interesting twist, the hawkish Global Times indirectly blamed Islam for terrorism, and said India is mostly free from terrorism because it is largely a Hindu nation. Terrorism exists in an "arc" of Asian countries including Pakistan and Philippines with significant Muslim presence, it said.

"There are tensions at various degrees at various junctions in this arc where it encounters other religions and ethnicity but a dent exists in the Indian portion of this arc," the paper said.

Lets see what actually happens at BRICS. Terrorism is a issue India realized it with LTTE i have no idea when Pakistan will realize and change.

When has India pointedly raised Pak based terrorist groups in BRICS? If I am not mistaken its been terrorism as a whole. And if China feels, that raising terrorism is a direct reference to Pakistan, well.......

Or China is baiting India. If we do not raise the issue, the mouse dragon will say how great a power it is. If we raise the issue, the mouse dragon will say how India wants to disrupt the BRICS process.

 

[duhastmish]

actually BRICS is more for trade.

terrorism issue shouldnt be discussed. i hope we have some reform in trade policy specifically anti dumping removal.

Everyone does. LeT, Osama protector, Mullah protector, lying Army spokespersons and generals. List goes on and on.

This is exactly what China is saying, since the Indians are allowed to come in contact with civilization then don't drag your barking Bharti habits at every platform.

NO you didn't get the point. If India raises terrorism issue without even mentioning Pakistan, still by default CCP has to defend Pakistan, since Pak will expect that from CCP. CCP doesn't want to show the world and its people, (the event is also happenening in china itself) that they are defending terrorists, or supporting terrorism, that is why after blocking Masood Azar, their foreign ministry dont take questions much and reply the same answer template to every question.

 

[rustom]

Chinese are already having loose motions facing embarrassing situation of defending peace lovers like half shit saeed and azar

 

[neem456]

Since this BRICS is happening in china, do chinese think they have the right to censor the summit as they censor their citizens and country ?
lolz dont they know india is a free and a democratic country and can raise any issue anywhere it wants?

You are just reinforcing things for our cause, Osama protectors, LeT protectors, lying generals, good Taliban. Bhartis like showing your true face to the world, not everybody gets swayed by the air you release windy.

We gave Modi a warning just like warning a Dalit about taking water from the same watering hole as us...

Modi must be so humiliated... we slapped him on the face when he was begging for a face saving way to unilateral withdraw from Doklam.

Now it looks like BRICS summit will be a chance for all countries to laugh at and shame India.

 

[paritosh]

Is nobody going to address the subliminal elephant about global times linking islam to terrorism or do you have your China blinders on?

We already know, this from their previous article. China wants to avoid defending pakistan from their own public, thus stopping India from raising terrorism issue
