Can India do one fifth of it?
Economist’s new piece on China’s industrial policy quantifies what I argued earlier—China’s industrial push runs on staggering subsidies—4–6% of GDP annually since 2011, or nearly $1 trillion a year. That’s 10× the US level. It’s why India can’t just “replicate” China’s growth

Diplomacy and international relations are not a boxing ring. Deft handling is the order of the day. O dis is maintaining its stance without making too much noise. Way to go!!!!
@globaltimesnews This is the correct way to answer Trump. India's statements are not even 25% of this !

Pl disaggregate external and internal debts. China’s external debt is minimal. Internal debt is larger. Moreover, developed economies in the West also have very high debts. Nobody seems to be discussing them.
@michaelxpettis So the question I have every time I see the extraordinary debt that China has built up, and that is still going up so fast, is: When does the system break? Now one limit is obvious. If the interest on the debt is greater than the national income, then it's over. But clearly

There are moments in geopolitics when the farce is so elaborate, the hypocrisy so bald, that it deserves a standing ovation. The current theater surrounding India, the United States, Pakistan…

Gen Narasimhan breaks it down for us: . China Mil Parade . Xi with Putin. Kim. Iran. Pakistan. ⚔️ Was Beijing’s 2025 military parade a signal of new power blocs? 🇮🇳 What does this mean for India’s strategy? 👉 https://t.co/ke5deYYOgV

Request check whether TSMC is interested
India is a like-minded country too. We should have Taiwan-India Semiconductor Training Program too!

PLA does not show any such deficit on ground. Military structures are resilient to casualties of the top echelons world over. The observation that PLA may launch an offensive under adverse conditions is well brought out.
“Whatever the reasons for the recent purges, they will almost certainly degrade China’s combat readiness and the Chinese leadership’s confidence in the PLA’s capabilities.” Great analysis by @fravel

MEA India’s spokesperson’s remarks indicate otherwise.
If true, this is neither the right time nor the right move. A little more time & thought should be given to this. It's unclear how or why this rushed approach towards China is being pursued, & what happened to security threats supposedly taking precedence over other

Padma River bridge in Bangladesh was a similar case. Chinese claim was negated by the Bangladesh government.
China is bolstering its geopolitical influence in the Pacific by “branding” Asian Development Bank projects – funded in significant part by Australian taxpayer dollars – as Chinese projects, the Australian government says. https://t.co/OHxClH89q8

The problems: One, whether US will be able to meet the increased demand. It is already stretched to its limits. Two, this will make Europe still dependent on US. Three, Europe’s defence industry may lose its edge.
Europe’s pledge to boost its military spending will help defuse a trans-Atlantic trade war, because much of the new money will go toward U.S. arms, one of the EU's top two officials said

Anti dumping duties and sanctions differ. Former makes supplies difficult while the the latter prevents supply
@narasimhansl I think we have also imposed sanctions in a tit for tat. Anti-dumping duties on 6 chemical imports from China.

May be. But it will also induce us to look for supply chain resilience. More importantly, invest in R&D .

Just shows India has arrived.
Something is brewing in the Chinese tea pot. * Clamp on export of rare earth magnets essential for EVs & drone motors to India in April. * On 11 May, at the height of Op Sindoor, China issued another list of 27 Sinicized names of places & geographic features in Arunachal Pradesh

A lot on his plate. Wish him luck.
South Korea’s new president hopes to strengthen an alliance with America and reinforce a budding rapprochement with Japan, while repairing relations with China and reopening dialogue with North Korea. Pulling off that balancing act will be tricky

Sounds familiar!!!!

Iran is sixth largest exporter of oil to China. They will need to sell it anyway. OBOR projects are bound by contractual obligations. Many a time sovereign guarantees. We need to be much smarter in dealing with PRC.

China is like flowing water. If you obstruct it, it will find a way around. $400 Bn over 25 years makes it approx 16 Bn in a year. Even assuming they have invested for four years it will be 64 Bn dollars. Pl consider it as a proportion of $ 20Tn econ.1/2
🧵 BREAKING: Israel’s war with Iran may have just torched China’s $400 billion foothold in the Middle East. Here’s how Trump, Israel, and a crumbling regime just put a huge dent in the CCP’s global strategy. 👇
