Beijing has also suggested it was not the lone opponent of India's entry. When it comes to the accession by non-NPT countries, China maintains that the group should have full discussion before forging consensus and making decisions based on agreement. In a statement on Sunday, the Chinese Foreign Ministry suggested that recent reports indicating India's entry was to be considered at the Vienna meeting were incorrect. "China has noted that some non-NPT countries aspire to join the NSG. China's position applies to all non-NPT countries and targets no one in particular," the statement said.
