Govt soon to take a view on putting China in ‘concern’ list

NEW DELHI: Government is likely to take a view soon on whether to put China again in the list of ‘country of concern’ as it blocked India’s bid to have JeM chief Masood Azhar designated terrorist by the UN for his involvement in the terror strike at the Pathankot airbase.

Upset over the action by the China, a meeting will soon be convened to examine the possibility of revisiting the decision to remove China from the list of ‘country of concern’, official sources said today.

The removal of China from the list led to faster security clearance to Chinese investment in India. Pakistan is another country which is in the list of ‘country of concern’.

The security establishment is considering a review of the liberalised investment regime being offered to Chinese investors after Beijing snubbed India by blocking its latest bid to have Masood designated terrorist by the United Nations. (AGENCIES)
