China again backs Lashkar terrorist at UN_我的网站

lol

一 | United Nations, Oct 19 (UNI) China has blocked India's proposal at the United Nations to list the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorist Shahid Mahmood as a global terrorist.

India and the United States wanted Mahmood to be designated an international terrorist and be subjected to a global travel ban and freezing of his assets. But such a proposal requires to be agreed by all members of the 15-member UNSC body.

Mahmood is the Deputy Chief of Falah-i-Insaniat Foundation which is another front of LeT. He was listed as a terrorist by India in Oct 2020. The Falah-I-Insaniat Foundation was designated as terrorist entity by the UN in 2012.

This is the fourth time this year that China came in defence of the Pakistan-based terrorist and blocked India's bids to blacklist them at the UN.

In August, China came in defence of Jaish-e-Mohammed deputy chief Abdul Rauf Asghar and thwarted India's bid to list him as an UN Security Council designated terrorist.

Placing a technical hold on the proposal, China stood out against the listing of Asghar saying it required more time to study. However, all other 14 members of the United Nations Security Council agreed to impose sanctions on Asghar, the younger brother of Masood Azhar.

Asghar has been involved in the planning and execution of numerous terror attacks on India, including the hijacking of Indian Airlines aircraft IC814 (1999), the attack on the Indian Parliament (2001) and the attack on the Indian Air Force base in Pathankot (2016).

In June 2022 as well, China placed on hold a joint proposal by India and the US to list the deputy chief of LeT, Abdul Rehman Makki, in the sanctions list.

Makki has been involved in raising funds, recruiting and radicalising youths to resort to violence and planning attacks in India, including the Mumbai terror attacks of 2008.

Government sources maintain that China’s actions expose its double speak and double standards when it comes to the international community’s shared battle against terrorism.

China decision is likely to further strain ties between New Delhi and Beijing. The two countries have been in a military standoff at the Line of Actual Control in Eastern Ladakh since April 2020.

External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar, asked about China repeatedly thwarting India's bid to list dreaded terrorists as terrorists, said in September: "If somebody blocks listing, particularly in cases where the merits of going ahead are very apparent, I think they do so frankly at (the cost) of their own interest and reputation."

UNI ASU MR。 (ECNS) -- Solar panels are appearing above more and more farms across China as the country looks for new ways to pair renewable energy with agricultural production. A rooftop solar project at a large dairy farm in Anhui Province began operating in July, covering 560,000 square meters of cattle barn roofs without taking up any additional land. The project can generate up to 300,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity a day and is expected to produce about 80 million kilowatt-hours a year, according to Xiao Jun, who heads the project. The farm houses about 40,000 cattle at a single site, he said, making it the largest in Asia to carry rooftop solar. The panels also help keep the barns cooler. The project is part of a broader push in Anhui to combine solar power with farming. A hybrid fishery and solar project with a total investment of 514 million yuan (about $71 million) has begun construction in Hefei, according to the local government. In Guangde, panels have been installed across nearly 600,000 square meters of tea plantations, generating about 136 million kilowatt-hours of green electricity a year, a representative of the project said. The trend is spreading nationwide as local governments and businesses look for more efficient ways to use land and other resources. A report released in February projected that China's total solar power generation capacity would grow by about 25% in 2026. Policy support is growing alongside it. The Renewable Energy Development Plan for the 15th Five-Year Plan period calls for wider use of distributed renewable energy in industrial, commercial, transport, building, and agricultural settings. The sector continued to expand in the first half of 2026. The National Energy Administration said renewable energy accounted for 60.7% of China's total installed power capacity, with wind and solar making up nearly half. The growth in solar applications is reshaping the photovoltaic industry itself. Industry experts say competition is shifting away from scale and price toward efficiency, technological innovation, and integrated applications. For agriculture, researchers said "solar-plus" projects could extend the reach of photovoltaic power while keeping land in productive use. (By Helen Mo & intern Liu Shuangjing) 。
