In a blazing attack on India, the Chinese media has hit out saying that India is 'Self centred'. The state-run Chinese newspaper 'The Global Times' featured an editorial wherein they preached Indian "nationalists", saying they "should learn how to behave themselves." This comes right after a day when India formally got full membership into the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR).

Into which China hasn't been allowed to enter because of its unimpressive proliferation track record. The editorial also talked about US's support to India's NSG bid, which China was not supportive of. It said, "US backing adds the biggest impetus to India's ambition...The US is not the whole world. Its endorsement does not mean India has won the backing of the world. This basic fact, however, has been ignored by India". It also mentioned that another 10 countries opposed India's NSG bid as India was not a signatory of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
