Now, China wants N-deal for Pakistan?

NEW DELHI: The Chinese government on Saturday not only nearly toppled India's Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) bid in Vienna, but went a step further by advocating a similar nuclear deal for Pakistan.

China made the case for Pakistan in a veiled statement, saying it hoped the NSG would 'equally address the aspirations of all parties.' A number of analysts have taken the phrase 'of all parties' to mean a reference to its ally Pakistan.

Chinese Foreign Minister, Cheng Jingye, head of Chinese delegation scheduled to visit on Sunday said, "It is also China's hope that the NSG would equally address the aspirations of all parties for the peaceful use of nuclear power while adhering to the nuclear non-proliferation mechanism."
