BEIJING: A day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi called Pakistan a "mothership of terrorism", China on Monday strongly defended its all-weather ally, saying it is against linking any country or religion with terror and asked the world community to acknowledge Pakistan's "great sacrifices".

In a sharp reaction to a question about Modi's characterisation of Pakistan at theBRICS Summit in Goa, spokesperson of the Chinese foreign ministry Hua Chunying said China is opposed to linking any country to terrorism.

Answering a question on Modi's criticism of Islamabad in aiding and abetting terror groups opposed to India, she said "on counter-terrorism, China's position is consistent".

"It is the same way we oppose linking terrorism with any specific country or religion," she said.

"We oppose terrorism in all forms and we believe that international concerted efforts are needed to ensure stability and security of all countries," she said.

"We oppose linking terrorism with any specific ethnicity or religion. This is our long-standing position. China and Pakistan are all-weather friends.

Noting that India and Pakistan are "all victims of terrorism", she said Islamabad has made "great sacrifice to combat terrorism and this needs to be recognised by the international community".


To another question about Modi's criticism that Pakistan state continues to support anti-India terrorist groups giving them arms, financial support and helping them to cross the border to carry out attacks in India and whether it is China's view that international community should not take a stand on Islamabad's support to terrorists, Hu said: "I understand your concern."


"But, as I said on counter-terrorism China's position is consistent. It is the same way we oppose linking terrorism with specific country or religion," she said.


"As per the problem between India and Pakistan, both the two countries are close neighbours of China. We truly hope that they can resolve these differences in a peaceful way through dialogue and consultation, so that India and Pakistan relations can develop. This serves the interest of the two countries and the region," she said.

Giving such statement on Indian soil is like putting an egg on Modi's face.
And i believe it's foreign secretary who deals with such matters.

Sending their own citizens across the border as terrorists is "great sacrifice" Indeed.

Maybe they couldn't name your Monkey.

Modi said something and China didnt even consider it worth replying through any Govt high ranking functionary but instead used the diplomatic way of responding. On one side China has shown how much insignificant it took that statement of Modi while on the other hand followed diplomatic norms to reply through their FO.

China itself being the victim of Indian cross-border terrorism knows very well the double games India plays in the region.


You can fool your own extremists, mr. Modi, but the world is not that stupid as you think it to be.

Honestly, I expected much stronger statement from China in defending Pakistan, but the above statement is not more than a generic statement that China issues regularly in defending Pakistan.

 

[ADIL SHERDIL]

Not everyone is like India mostly people have other priorities. India has crossed every limit of decency. i.e. mentioning Pakistan in BRICS hats off to their obsession. They should now really start focusing on their problems or doing something positive rather than mentioning Pakistan in everything.

Where did he get the term mothership from? Someone in Modi's administration is a big fan of Space Invaders.

 

[Windjammer]

So now can we expect the mosques in troubled areas not be monitored any more and everyone can grow a long beard and fast during Ramadan...cool.

I don't believe that Chinese officials touched your Dalit issue or other internal Indian matters.

Was BRICS meant for this only?
