China Draws Anger for Blocking JeM Chief Masood Azhar Name as Global Terrorist

China has blocked India's request at the UN Security Council to designate Jaish-e-Mohammed Chief Masood Azhar as a global terrorist and it is for the fourth time in ten years!

Even the global pressure against Masood Azhar is extreme, China chose to put up "technical hold" as an excuse to shield the Jaish chief, who is responsible for CPRF attack which claimed 44 lives.

China's last-minute move has also triggered outrage among people. From boycotting Chinese goods to raising tariffs, people are giving all sorts of suggestions to pull down China in terms of trade at least.

On the other side, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lu Kang said that the UNSC 1267 Committee has clear standards on the procedures of designated terrorist organizations and individuals.

China conducts a thorough and in-depth assessment of these applications and we still need more time, so that is why we put forward the technical hold,” he said.
