From $1.6 billion in 2014, investment from China — mostly by state-controlled private firms now — has likely crossed $26 billion. What does it mean for India’s trade strategy and security?
Mineral security is no longer just an economic concern but a national security imperative, underpinning the country’s ambitions in clean energy, defence self-reliance, and advanced manufacturing.
Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
India-Russia JV is also racing to deliver 7,000 more AK-203 assault rifles by 15 Aug. These are currently being made with 50% indigenisation and this will surge to 100% by 31 December.
BJP has no dynastic succession, at least not at the top. You can trace this back to Vajpayee-Advani era. This act of spotting, empowering younger talent is even more striking with the choice of BJP presidents.
The whole thing looks a fiasco to an unbiased observer.
Bhakths are ranting and trolling everything related to China!
Let’s ignore them.
On the whole the government of India it self appeared balanced.
But looks like the balance is lost.
The west, USA, Japan, Australia and New Zealand have been for ages trying to keep India under leash and bonded to them.
The never before settled India China boundary question, the obstacles always put in for settlement of Kashmir dispute between India and Pakistan and people of Kashmir for 70 long years is almost a joke but for the serious consequences and affects associated with those two questions.
But for those two issues, India could have had a hunkey doree symbiotic progress and development relationship with China and Pakistan.
But for these two issues, there are simply no other issues between these two countries.
There are almost 50 countries in Europe and around!
They had grave boundary disputes.
World War Two raged between them engulfing the whole world.
Yet all of them have settled all disputes and set up European Union and are progressing together.
USA joined hands with them in trade and commerce and military alliance NATO.
USA also has trade and commerce bonds and military bonds with Canada, Australia, Japan, Newzealand and a host of bases etc all over.
If India and China and Pakistan and Bangladesh were together like USA Europe and the Pacific rim countries above, all of us could have prospered and become strong.
Learning from us Africa and Latin America too would have forged regional alliances and prospered together.
Europe , USA and the other Pacific rim countries have been conspiring together and keeping all of us fighting on petty issues, most of them actually created by powers in Europe, USA and the rest of Pacific rim.
The entire civil service and military and para military forces and their philosophy and culture of India and Pakistan have come from the British.
These were mercenary organs of British.
When transfer of power happened, we have been made to believe we got independence.
But the same fellows ruling India and Pakistan under British continued to rule us.
These mercenaries worked in every manner against the interests of their countries and in favour of the west, USA and Pacific rim.
No other two countries fight like India and Pakistan in the most stupid way, sacrificing all progress.
No two countries in the world have had a never styled boundary dispute after becoming independent of colonial powers like China and India.
For China it was a revolution and throwing away colonialism and foreign hegemony and foreign puppet regime of Chiang Ki Shaik.
For India, Pakistan (including then East Pakistan)
It was mere transfer of power.
The west, USA, Israel, are merchants of death creating conflicts and selling arms, exploiting raw materials, benefitting from trade and even our mercenary manpower.
The gulf too is firmly in the hands of USA and UK and EU along with all the oil.
The gulf almost entirely depends on manpower from India and Pakistan and now Bangladesh.we are all slaves there!
The interests of gulf are entwined the rogue countries above.
They all have thus been keeping us on leash striking many a alliance with our rulers and selling us huge arms and defence purchases.
India is largest importer of arms in the world.
Which means the largest looser.
Defence imports invariably involve corruption.
The great congress and the great bjp and their respective allies have all unanimously affirmed, agreed and alleged against each other and in different inter-say ways about each other’s corruption in defence purchases and corruption about crony capitalism!
And meanwhile China has land boundaries with 12 countries including India and Our tiny Lilliputian brother Bhutan.
Except old USSR, all other countries are small and weak and insignificant in size, military or commerce.
Yet China settled the similar never before settled boundaries with all those countries, demarcated them on the ground with modern tools and almost with everyone has cross border trade, travel, road travel and connectivity etc.
though all these were small countries, all of them are happy about their boundary settlements with China, as China was considerate towards the smaller countries, gave more and took less in the five and take principle bargain!
Only India and under our tutelage and dependence Bhutan have not yet settled the never before settled boundaries with China.
now even the belt and road mega concept is integrating them so much closer!
While so India does not have such settlements even with one country around us!
Except Nepal, we have no connectivity with any of our Nieghbours!
Despite all our Ramayan stories, we don’t even have a ferry to Srilanka, leave alone building a rail and road bridge!
China is running goods trains to Iran, Germany, Italy, United Kingdom and France apart from so many central Asian countries and Russia!
That is progress based on cooperation.
Now the funny thing is China raised it’s stake by market equity purchase in HDFC , Housing Development Finance Corporation Ltd from existing 0.8% to just above 1%!
What a joke!
We have so many companies from these rogue nations of Europe, USA, Canada, Japan and Australia and Newzealand which have anything from 10% to 100% of equity stake!
All that is normal!
EUROPE and USA and Canada are all benefitting from huge Chinese investments.
But they create fears in India for raise of Chinese investment in shares in one housing finance company from 0.8% to 1%!
How strange is it?
How stupid is it for us to react. ?
Does it not show how weak is our great supreme leader and his party acting at the behest of these guys?
Look at the comments of Andh and moodh bhakths raising war cries against China about this!
India is in an abyss created by these evil ex colonial ex imperialist and currently neo-colonial and neo-imperialist forces.
Unless we indians become informed ourselves about this western/USA and company conspiracies and un-shackle ourselves, impress upon our leaders and parties to sort out the stupid Kashmir dispute with Pakistan and Kashmir , and boundary dispute with China, our future is very bleak!
We are simply playing into the hands of these evil forces who are completely responsible for these two problems and who have been constantly and continuously benefiting from us and Pakistan because of keeping these problems alive.
Ultimately people of India and Pakistan have to solve their own problems. Or they may not choose to solve any problems and continue to play into the hands of EUROPE,UK and USA and company and keep buying arms from them and serve their economic and political interests!
