China, which was opposing India’s entry into the elite NSG club, has now said that it will play a "constructive" role in the discussions to bring India on board of the 48-member group. However, it remained stern that this is not something which is on the agenda of the NSG meeting in Seoul.
China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson
"China hopes to discuss further this issue and will play a constructive role in the discussions," she said.
"Although parties are yet to see eye-to-eye on this issue, such discussions help them better understand each other," she said.

"As for the entry of non-NPT countries, the group has never put that on its meeting agenda. Based on what we have at hand, the agenda of this year's Seoul Plenary Meeting circulated by the Chair does not include this issue either," she said.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry has not been able to decide its stand on this issue; while it first said that it was not targeting any country such as India or Pakistan, it then objected US backing India's case, saying thatcountries which have not signed the NPT should not be allowed into the NSG.
