China has once again come to the rescue of Jaish-e-Mohammad chief Masood Azhar by blocking a proposal in the UN Security Council on Wednesday to enlist Masood Azhar as an international terrorist. This is the fourth time that China has used the technical hold to block the proposal, which was being pushed by other permanent members of the UNSC, France, the US and the UK.

The Indian government expressed disappointment over China's decision to block the listing of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) chief Masood Azhar as a global terrorist at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC).
