China has said that under new circumstances, India's membership bid in the NSG has become more complicated. It also ruled out backing New Delhi's entry in the grouping, adding that all it wants is that there should be non-discriminatory solution applicable to all contries that don’t sign the non-proliferation treaty (NPT).
China has been maintaining a stand against India's membership in the 48- nation group that controls the nuclear commerce, even as India has got backing from majority of the members.
The group requires all members to give their consent for a new admission.
Pakistan, which had also applied for the NSG membership, has full backing from China, claiming that in case India is allowed entry without signing the NPT, Pakistan too should be allowed to do so.
