Large Chinese FDI only in sectors critical for India
New Delhi: Chinese investments in sectors critical for India or where local companies don’t have adequate capacity will be considered for approval but the country is unlikely to adopt an open-door policy any time soon, according to people familiar with the matter. This is part of a three-pronged standard operating guideline the administrative ministries will follow for vetting Chinese investments in India. The other two types of proposals that will get a green light will be those from companies or investors headquartered elsewhere but routing funds via Hong Kong and those that entail small investments by Chinese investors. Security clearance would continue to be mandatory in all the three cases. “Proposals are being examined as per three key guidelines... Any proposal entailing large investment would have to be in a critical area where there is minimal or negligible local presence,” said a government official. Border tensions escalated between the two countries last year. ... » Learn More about Large Chinese FDI only in sectors critical for India
Why the rise of China’s military worries the world
There is growing alarm at the inexorable rise of China, both of its military prowess and its aggressive bullying of other countries plus its subjugation of whole portions of its own population. IMAGE: People's Liberation Army soldiers in Beijing. Photograph: Jason Lee/Reuters Under Chairman Xi Jinping, China has accelerated its militarisation, with constant remonstrations for the People's Liberation Army (PLA) to modernise and to boost its loyalty to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Ominously, Xi spends a lot of time telling the populace to prepare for an all-out 'struggle'. At the same time, Xi has stamped his authority on every single aspect of Chinese society so as to control the thinking and behavior of his 1.4 billion subjects. There is growing fear among China's neighbors, and Western countries like the United States, that China will stoke a war. For now, the PLA is using 'gray zone' tactics, behavior short of armed struggle but which is nonetheless coercive ... » Learn More about Why the rise of China’s military worries the world

IEA chief backs India on coal, says no exit without financial support
NEW DELHI: Lending his weight to India's stand on coal as an energy source , International Energy Agency ( IEA ) chief Fatih Birol on Wednesday said it won't be fair to ask developing nations to stop using coal without giving international financial assistance to make up for the economic challenge from such a move. Developing nations like India depend on coal for 60 per cent of their energy, and coal and associated sectors are major employment generators, he said at the Energy Horizons Leadership Dialogue organised by Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW). Endorsing the Indian stand of it not being responsible for global pollution, Birol said, "climate change issue we have today, (that is) concentration of carbon in the atmosphere is not an issue of today. It is an issue of almost last 100 years." "And many countries, so-called advanced economies, came to this industrialised levels and income levels by using a lot of coal. These are the US, Europe, Japan," ... » Learn More about IEA chief backs India on coal, says no exit without financial support
