We must continue to trade with China: Bajaj Auto MD Rajiv Bajaj
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."

U.S. owes India $ 216 billion as American debt soars to $ 29 trillion: lawmaker
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.

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.
