Lakhvi release: China defends decision to block India request at UN
103
BEIJING: Defending its stand to block India's move in the UN that called for action against Pakistan on the release of Mumbai attack mastermind Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, China said its move was based on "facts" and in the spirit of "objectiveness and fairness", said a report published on The Times of India.
Speaking to reporters in Beijing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said: "As a permanent member of the UN security council, China always deals with the 1267 Committee matters based on facts and in the spirit of objectiveness and fairness".
This statement came as a response to a question pertaining to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi taking up the issue during a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, which took place on Wednesday on the sidelines of the BRICS — Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa — and Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in the Russian city of Ufa.
India had demanded of the UN to take action against Pakistan as her government had released Lakhvi. India has relentlessly sought him since the attacks killed over 160 persons, including several foreigners, causing international uproar and a diplomatic storm.
The Indian Express earlier reported that Modi took up the issue regarding China's "technical hold" on India's move in the United Nations calling for action against Pakistan over the release of Lakhvi.
The two leaders held a 95-minute meeting ahead of the BRICS — Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa — and Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit.
Following Lakhvi's release from a jail in Lahore in April, the UN sanctions committee had met at India's request last month during which a clarification was to be sought from Pakistan over Lakhvi's release, but China blocked the move on grounds that India did not provide adequate information.

While talking to reporters about Modi's meeting with the Chinese President, Indian Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar said: “The issue of Lakhvi did come up. Our Prime Minister raised our concerns on the issue and it was discussed in some detail…They will be taken up in the course of further discussions between the two countries.”
He added that Modi made India's concerns regarding Lakhvi "known very clearly". The foreign secretary further said: "the Chinese side was impressed by the clarity with which he conveyed our concerns on the issue".
"Every country knows Lakhvi’s role...We have to see how to take this forward,” Jaishankar said.
The Indian premier also shared his concerns pertaining to the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) which will pass through Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK).

During the meeting — which was their fifth this year — the two leaders also discussed border issues and the need to boost the process of holding talks regarding the boundary.
Spokesman for Indian Ministry of External Affairs Vikas Swarup quoted Modi as telling President Jinping: "Our fifth meeting in a year shows the depth of the India-China relationship". Late Wednesday, Modi also took to Twitter to share his views on the meeting.

Both leaders also discussed India’s quest of becoming a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) and Nuclear Supplier Group (NSG).

No evidence, no punishment. Pakistan cannot transgress its judicial laws. China blocked the move because she believed India did not provide legitimate evidence regarding Lakhvi. Secondly, India's concerns regarding CPEC do not hold ground given the fact that AJK falls under Pakistani control. India has been trying different moves to somehow distract Pakistan's efforts for peace and development which is very pathetic. Hats of Modi's diplomacy in the garb of hypocrisy.

@Vectra. Sorry, No. With Xi-Modi partnership, China supported India for the SCO. The cornerstone of Xi's policy is to keep Modi in tight embrace. He will let Modi escape. He gave Modi the Presidency of the BRICS bank to be based in China and a creation of Xi. He also asked Modi to become the second largest shareholder in China's bank AIIB which will displace the western 'owned' ADB. Xi's game is to replace US-Europe domination with China-India influence allied to many developing countries. Obviously, like Europe, India will be a very junior partner.

Just 10 years ago, India's economy ranked 14 in the world, today it ranks #7 & in another 10 years it will rank #3. There's even a realistic chance that by 2050, India will replace China as the world's #1 economy. The Chinese are very pragmatic people & they are well aware that good relations with India is a very important part of their foreign & economic policies now and even more so in the future. Modi also places very high importance on good relations with China & under him I expect Sino-India relations to scale newer heights.

lakhvi probably is guilty, yet india probably doesn't have great evidence against him. The issue is India's intelligence agencies aren't exactly known for being apt at gathering evidence so de they don't act like a police force (and police in India are inept). But without evidence, there is no case in the legal sphere. Accusations aren't enough.
