Ready for talks with India on JeM chief: China
111
BEIJING: China said on Friday it was willing to have more discussions with all parties concerned, including India, on blacklisting the head of Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), which claimed responsibility for the attack on an Indian paramilitary convoy in held Kashmir in February.
China prevented a UN Security Council committee on Wednesday from blacklisting JeM founder Masood Azhar.
India said it was disappointed at the block, while the United States said it was counter to a goal it shared with China of achieving regional peace and stability.
In a statement faxed to Reuters late on Friday, China’s Foreign Ministry reiterated that the “technical hold” on the blacklisting was to give more time for the committee to have further consultations on the issue.
China hoped the committee’s actions could “benefit reducing the tense situation and protect regional stability”, the ministry said, responding to a question about calls for boycott of Chinese products in India.
“China is willing to strengthen communication with all parties, including India, to appropriately handle this issue,” it added, without elaborating.
The US, Britain and France had asked the Security Council’s Islamic State and Al Qaeda sanctions committee to subject Azhar to an arms embargo, travel ban and asset freeze. The 15-member committee operates by consensus. China had previously prevented the sanctions committee from sanctioning Azhar in 2016 and 2017.
Western powers could also blacklist Azhar by adopting a Security Council resolution, which needs nine votes in favour and no vetoes by Russia, China, the United States, Britain or France. Already blacklisted by the UN Security Council in 2001, JeM is a primarily anti-India group.

Shame on China to see bungling under pressure from India and the international community. World's next super power should take on such challenges with aggression. Or is it worry about its economy that is pressuring to such decisions of accommodation?

On the other hand China is distancing itself from one of the biggest market for its products by not standing firm on regional issues.

- India try to find the way to reduce chinese import to develop own industry,as China enter in countries and kills their Low to medium industries.This helping people to reduce uses
- World observing this and supporting India in fight against terrorism,China have to bear pressure from International community
- Now India can support Dalai lama ,as from few years India is avoiding to support him.
- India can ask matter of muslim oppression in China as Indian Muslim all demanding the same.

I see many Indians talking of Chinese goods boycott or even banning them which is so naive. As an Indo Canadian & with some knowledge of economy, let me state that Trade is like water flowing from higher level to lower level and like holding sand in a hand & the more you grip tight; the more it fizzles out of your hand. A human being lives for survival and buys goods at cheapest price from the world . Take the case of India Pakistan. Many Indian goods reach Pakistan via 3rd country & vice versa; and it is the country which bans more imports suffers more because the goods will be indirectly imported at a higher cost and thus more foreign currency will flow out. This is why the Indian trade with China is about $100 Bn and will continue to grow no matter the differences. China & US or the US and Russia have lot of differences but no one talks of ban or boycott. I would suggest that in today's globalised world India-Pak trade should be fully open to avoid any scope of war & maintain peace.
