The U.S., the world's largest economy, owes India $ 216 billion in loan as the country's debt grows to a record $ 29 trillion, an American lawmaker has said, cautioning the leadership against galloping foreign debt, the largest of which comes from China and Japan. In 2020, the U.S. national debt was $ 23.4 trillion, that was $ 72,309 in debt per person. “We are going to grow our debt to $ 29 trillion. That is even more debt owed per citizen. There is a lot of misinformation about where the debt is going. The top two countries we owe the debt to are China and Japan, not actually our friends,” Congressman Alex Mooney said. “We are at global competition with China all the time. They are holding a lot of the debt. We owe China over $ 1 trillion and we owe Japan over $ 1 trillion,” the Republican Senator from West Virginia said on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives as he and others opposed the latest stimulus package of $ 2 trillion. In January, U.S. President Joe Biden ... » Learn More about U.S. owes India $ 216 billion as American debt soars to $ 29 trillion: lawmaker

MUMBAI: Favouring continuation of trade with China, Bajaj Auto managing director Rajiv Bajaj on Saturday said goods should be procured from wherever they are most competitively available. He was speaking at a session on 'Building Reliable Supply Chain' at the second day of the three-day virtual Asia Economic Dialogue 2021, jointly convened by the ministry of external affairs and Pune International Centre. Bajaj also said that in terms of ease of doing business, operating something in one of the Asean countries is certainly easier than "what we encounter here in India." "We like to believe that we are a global company, and therefore, this to my mind, from a cultural point of view, and an operational point of view, demands completeness or inclusiveness not just of employee gender, but also of having dealers, distributors and equally suppliers from all over the world. "And that is why I believe that we must continue to trade with China. Because if we conduct our business ... » Learn More about We must continue to trade with China: Bajaj Auto MD Rajiv Bajaj

Video Player Close GUANGZHOU, Feb. 27 (Xinhua) -- Zhan Youbing, 47, is a brisk walker, but his gait slows to a more leisurely pace as he snaps another photo with his camera. Ranging far and wide in search of inspiration for new good shots, Zhan has worked and lived in Chang'an Township in China's manufacturing city Dongguan, known as "factory of the world," for more than two decades. The industrial estate of the bustling township has been his greatest muse. In 1995, Zhan left his hometown in central China's Hubei Province and ventured far to the southern Guangdong Province, together with other youngsters dreaming of making their fortune in the country's early economic boom. From inns to factories that churned out toys and electronics, Zhan had tried his hand at different jobs as a migrant worker in one of China's booming megacities, yet he was unable to shake the sense of loss deep in his gut. "We were like screws on the assembly lines, only hoping that we can return ... » Learn More about Profile: Migrant worker-turned photographer captures everyday moments in “factory of the world”

A glass of water has no colour. But a deep sea with the same water is a brilliant blue. Why is this so? This was the question that C.V. Raman asked himself in 1921 on seeing the colour of the Mediterranean sea from a ship. He immediately began to conduct experiments on board the ship using some simple instruments he had with him. At that time, scientists believed the sea was blue because it reflected the colour of the sky, but Raman found that it was the water itself that caused blue light to scatter more than other colours in light. At that time Raman was a professor at the University of Calcutta. He returned from his visit of England and Europe and started experiments to study how light behaved when it passed through various substances. On February 28, 1928, one of the experiments gave a clear result. Light of only one colour was passed through a liquid, but the light that emerged had small traces of another colour. This meant that the molecules in the liquid were changing the ... » Learn More about Water colours

Jesus on target The Portuguese midfielder then headed on another Cancelo cross in the 65th minute for Gabriel Jesus to stab in. The first leg was played in the Hungarian capital due to COVID-19 travel restrictions in Germany. City quickly took control of the game, circulating the ball well and looking for openings in the Gladbach defence. Phil Foden tested keeper Yann Sommer with a crisp shot in the sixth minute but City did not have a clear scoring chance despite controlling possession until Silva’s header. Jesus should have done much better ... » Learn More about Champions League | Business as usual for City
