Arrogant India should befriend China, Pak; imbecilic to think Islamabad promoting terrorism: Chinese media

Economic Times, September 26, 2017


Terming as "arrogant" External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj's scathing attack on Islamabad at the UN for being the pre-eminent terror factory, a state- run Chinese daily has in a grudging admission said "there is indeed terrorism in Pakistan". 




"By trumpeting India's justice and grandeur while rebuking its neighbor's foolishness and ugliness, the minister seems to have moved herself and the whole country," it said in an editorial, adding: "A country that despises others can hardly seek agreement over conflicts." 




Swaraj had on Saturday, at the United Nation, came down heavily on Pakistan saying while India produced scholars, doctors, engineers, Pakistan is producing terrorists. 




However, the paper questioned the very fact that Pakistan is promoting terrorism, saying "what can Pakistan gain from exporting terrorism? Money or honor?" 




"It is politically imbecilic and unsophisticated for Indian elites to conclude that Pakistan exports terrorism. They should have seen the efforts and sacrifice that Pakistan has made to rid the world of terrorism and refrain from mixing disputes over terrorism with their own historical disputes." 



Global Times, which has the backing of China's ruling Communist Party, further tried to mock India saying "India's bigotry toward Pakistan doesn't match its much-vaunted ambition to be a world power."

India Joins Russia in Voting Against West-Backed Move to Expand Powers of OPCW

The Wire: June 28, 2018 New Delhi: India voted against a UK-backed move that will allow the global chemical weapons watchdog to apportion blame for illegal attacks, criticising the decision to grant “unchecked powers” to the head of the group which could be used for “partisan” purposes. On Wednesday, more than two-thirds of the member states of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) voted to authorise the international body to identify the perpetrators and sponsors of a chemical weapons attack. It also specifically called on the OPCW’s technical secretariat to begin work on identifying the perpetrators behind the use of chemical weapons in Syria. The draft decision, sponsored by 30 countries, was adopted at the fourth special session of the conference of the states parties to the Chemical Weapons Convention at the Hague, with 82 in favour and 24 negative votes. While Europe, the United States and their allies voted ‘yes’, there was strong oppo...
