China has refuted Indian allegations that it was showing double standards on terrorism, claiming that it had a “just” stand on blocking India’s bid to list Pakistani terrorist Masood Azhar as a global terrorist.


China was the only country in the 15-member Counter-Terrorism Committee of the UN Security Council that objected to India's application to list Azhar as a global terrorist.
