China’s stand on terror is dubious

Hindustan Times  

China’s blocking of an effort by India and the United States to designate Lashkar-e-Taiba operative Sajid Mir at the United Nations Security Council as a terrorist hardly came as a surprise to Indian policyma-kers. Mir was one of the main planners behind the 2008 Mumbai attacks that saw LeT fighters butchering people across India’s financial hub, Makki has been a key fundraiser for LeT, and Azhar has organised suicide attacks in India for JeM, which maintains close links with al-Qaeda and the Taliban. They also raise questions as to whether China is only acting to shield its “all-weather” ally Pakistan, currently undergoing a review that should lead to the country moving out of the Financial Action Task Force’s “grey list” of nations that haven’t done enough to curb terror financing. At the recent Shanghai Cooperation Organisation Summit in Samarkand, Chinese President Xi Jinping spoke loftily about welcoming all stakeholders to get involved in his country’s “Global Security Initiative” to address international security challenges, and the need to “crack down hard on terrorism”.
