China again backs Lashkar terrorist at UN_我的网站

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。     8 月 25 日消息，据外媒 TechCrunch 今天（25 日）报道，印度自主飞行无人机初创公司 Airbound 完成了 3,700 万美元（注：现汇率约合 2.49 亿元人民币）A 轮融资，希望最终把无人机空运货物的成本降到与公路卡车运输相当的水平。Airbound 不到一年前刚刚获得 865 万美元（现汇率约合 5,829 万元人民币）种子轮融资，本轮完成后，这家成立 3 年的公司累计融资已接近 5,000 万美元（现汇率约合 3.37 亿元人民币）。

二 | Airbound 等初创公司认为，相比公路车辆，无人机运送部分货物速度更快、成本更低。无人机配送已经出现了一些成功案例，但无论运输规模还是适用范围，目前都远不能与卡车运输相比。

三 | Airbound 希望从飞行器本身入手缩小差距，让无人机拥有与地面运输竞争的成本优势。传统飞行器很大一部分能源都消耗在承载自身重量上，而不是运输货物，因此空运成本居高不下，运输小批量货物时尤其明显。Airbound 创始人兼 CEO 纳曼 · 普什普解释，公司希望制造自身重量低于所载货物重量的垂直飞行无人机，以解决这一问题。目前其打造的 TRT 无人机重约 1.5kg，可以运载约 1kg 货物，正在开发的下一代产品预计重约 3kg，载重量最高可达约 5kg。Airbound 采用类似火箭的尾座式设计，以直立姿态垂直起飞，升空后转为水平飞行，降落时再恢复直立姿态。

四 | 普什普表示，公司未来即使制造更大的无人机，也会继续保留垂直起降能力，避免对跑道产生依赖。“我们的目标是，让所有运输最终都能做到与卡车运输成本相当。”Airbound 成立于 2023 年，已经在印度南部的班加罗尔和贡土尔完成超过 1.3 万次自主飞行。公司下一步的目标充满野心，计划建立一个连接安得拉邦 3 座城市的无人机配送网络，并已经与当地政府签署协议，最终实现每天 1 万次飞行，为零售、电商和医疗领域运送货物。“我们想扮演的是波音的角色，也就是提供各地航空公司都依赖的飞机，而不是自己成为航空公司。

五 | ”然而，监管限制让 Airbound 目前很难把大量飞行转化为真正的商业收入。公司已经拥有超过 150 名员工，整体上却仍处于基本没有营收的阶段。
