Listing of Masood Azhar can open a new phase in India-China relations

Radical Islam keeps raising its head in newer places across Asia, as it recently did in Sri Lanka, and now poses as much a challenge to China’s rise as it does to India’s. Both countries must work together towards a win-win strategy on over-powering it.

There could not have been a better way for China to mark the first anniversary of the Wuhan Summit between President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Narendra Modi than for it to have altered its stance on declaring Jaish-e-Mohammad chief Masood Azhar a terrorist with a global footprint. News reports suggest that American arm-twisting forced China to fall in line with all the other members of the United Nations Security Council. However, it is best to leave such claims to the US and China to make and denounce. As far as India is concerned, the final outcome is a welcome one. For Prime Minister Modi, it is yet another foreign policy prize secured during the election season. President Xi may not have intended to make a gesture to India that would help PM Modi bang in the middle of a contentious national elections, but in the end he did.
