China reiterates opposition to India joining NSG
Ahead of President Pranab Mukherjee's visit, China on Monday reiterated its stand against making an exception for India's membership to the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG). Countering India's stand that France had also not signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty when joining the NSG, China said, "France was a founder of the NSG so the issue of its acceptance... did not exist."
