China snubs India over NSG

[HAIDER]

NEW DELHI: China has said that India’s admission to the elite Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) is not on the agenda of the grouping that started a plenary session in Seoul on Monday.

India’s NDTV news channel described China’s comments by foreign ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying in Beijing as a rebuff to India’s effort to join the NSG.

These followed remarks on Sunday by Indian Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj expressing optimism that Beijing was not obstructing India but only talking of “procedure”.

NDTV quoted senior government sources as remaining optimistic. “India sees this as a procedural block by China. We remain optimistic but never expected this to be easy. Outcomes are always uncertain,” one such source said.

China has been leading a group of nations that are holding out against India’s membership to the 48-nation club that controls access to nuclear technology.

The Chinese spokesperson said on Monday: “The inclusion of non-NPT members has never been a topic on the agenda of NSG meetings. In Seoul this year, there is no such topic.”

She said opinion within the member countries was divided on including not just India but all countries that are not signatories to the NPT or Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Indian media have expressed the hope that the issue would be discussed between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Council’s meeting in Tashkent later this week.

It seems Russia backed China in this issue. All major power are silent on Indian support. They may vote India, but no one counter Chinese in this issue. Its feeling Chinese are leading the conference.

Without Pakistan's entry into NSG , Indian entry seems to be a pipe dream.

China will make sure that if Pakistan is kept out, so will India.

What is there for India to do? Its the US/West which has been pushing into NSG and without their support India's entry would only be a dream.

UNSC is a 20 year project, they'll say yes and no and no and yes, keep pushing and pushing and pushing. This should be expected.

What is the reason of this don't know why Chinese making themselves a laughing stock

India already has NSG wavier that makes its stand clear
Even without NSG india free to trade with any nation in the world.
That its self questions sanity of NSG .
most member's nations understand this anomaly why Chinese so persistence stubborn.

Only nation which is in loss here is Pakistan which has nothing to gain neither NSG membership nor opportunity to business with major Nuclear powers except China

So there will be Chinese monopoly on Pakistan nuclear program

Actually Pakistan knows that it wont be getting into this club due to the discriminatory behavior of US (as evident by waiver it gave to India earlier), but yeah it can go all way long blocking Indian entry into the club and actually this move was brainchild of China. And as a matter of fact our nuclear program is run by us, not Chinese, and entry into the NSG (highly unlikely right now as i said earlier) would pave way for interaction with other major powers and India cant stop it come what may. India exactly knows its position right now and that why it tried to project itself softly by saying that it has no objections to entry of Pakistan into the club.

 

[Imad.Khan]

If non-NPT countries have never been on the agenda then howcome they gave a waiver to India. IMHO it won't make any difference to India as they already have a waiver unless the waiver comes with restrictions/conditions

Do Chinese stop India from getting into MTCR
But now they made sure india will give sensitive missile to Vietnam and others


This Chinese strategy made them open and isolated and create economic loss from Indian standpoint

india soon join Australian group and
Wassenaar Arrangement

NSG wavier is made our stand more clear and solid to join these groups and US support

For Pakistan. Chinese are only partner
And Chinese firms monopoly will run in Pakistan nuclear supply
Pakistan NSG hopes ended here

Had Chinese wanted to stop India getting MTCR, they would have done so but as didnt oppose it so it means they know its pros and cons. India can join anything anywhere, its non of our concern. Main concern is that there should not be any discrimination. For Pakistan, Chinese are the only option because we chose them to be the one as it comes without fear of any embargo or sanctions. Nonetheless when they are pulling the feat and projects in record time when why should we be worried? As a matter of fact that we are nearing the phase where we would not be needing any foreign assistance in this field, rather we would be more of a supplier in this field and that is one main reason we are taking the stance that we consider ourselves qualified to join NSG.
