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

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

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

GUANGZHOU - Leading Chinese respiratory disease expert Zhong Nanshan and top US infectious disease expert Anthony Fauci have called for global solidarity and cooperation to fight against COVID-19. The epidemiologists exchanged their views in an online conversation hosted by the University of Edinburgh Tuesday night Beijing time. The two believed that global cooperation is essential in the epidemic control. Novel coronavirus is an enemy of all mankind, said Zhong, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and a leading expert in China's respiratory disease research. "If the coronavirus still spreads in some individual countries, COVID-19 cannot be said to be fully controlled worldwide. If we want to end this epidemic, we need appropriate science-based, evidence-based decisions by decision-makers in each country. Everyone should do their best. So we need global solidarity," Zhong said. Zhong believed that some unscientific, inhumane means of "natural immunity" should ... » Learn More about Top China, US epidemiologists call for global cooperation to fight COVID

There is no conceivable reason for any big power to put road blocks on the path of an India-Pakistan normalisation process, asserts Ambassador M K Bhadrakumar.

Photograph: Mukesh Gupta/Reuters The extraordinary joint statement ( external link ) last Friday at the level of the directors generals of military operations of India and Pakistan came like a bolt from the blue. Of course, it is preposterous to contemplate that the Indian Army went out on a limb without political directive, or that some 'grand bargain' involving India, China and Pakistan is unfolding. From such a premise, what needs to be understood is as regards the Indian calculus. The government is taking time to voice an official opinion on Friday's development even after Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan's tweets ( external link ) on Saturday.
