New Saudi Arab

                                                  Saudi Arab, which was considered to be a very conservative muslim state  is now appears to be changing 

                                         One can find a good Friday woman wandering as freely as men. Couples stroll along to gather or sit side by side in restaurants. Cinema is now screening Arabic and Hollywood films. Women's driving school started operating.  This has created new jobs in the Cinema and driving school. This is happening because of decades of efforts made by Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman. He is also trying to see that the economy is less dependent on oil.



                                           The Crown Prince planned to invest about 900 billion dollars in the most modern city by 2030 in Saudi Arab.  They have planed ski village overlooking desert and to build 50 luxary hotels along the red sea. There will be world tollest building in capital Riyadh.

                                           The expansion of personal freedom and some of social reforms have increase the Economic activities. Women work force has also increased up to 36%. It has increased the  household incomes. State is also promoting  the Sports and Entertainment Industries. Even Retail and Hopitibility Industries also has grown due to reforms .  The  Tourism has also developed in Saudi Arab.



                                           Oil is  still  account  the mejor  export  earnig commodities for Saudi Arab but it has fallen  from 36%of GDP to 26% in the last year. This shows the growth of other indudtries.It  is said that when Social changes take place fast the Economic retructureing takes longer. 

                                         However good amount of investments are now flowing into the Mining Industries, wherein Boxite and Gold Reserves are being explored.

                                         In short, all credit goes to the leadership of the Crown Prince who brought all Reformist Changes in Saudi Arab.

 China's Trade Infiltration In South America

                                                                                              The United States is facing a significant trade deficit with China and is attempting to address it through the imposition of heavy Tariffs. These Tariffs have strained trade relations between the two countries. In response, China is seeking to counter American Tariffs in its own way. China is pushing its goods indirectly through friendly countries, of the United States, which is irritating for Americans.

                                                                  Mexico is a South American country that imports Chinese chemical products and indirectly dumps them in America. It is also dangerous that China is increasing its influence on South American countries. China may be trying to establish trade relationships with those countries in order to gain a military advantage and unfair economic advantage.



                                                              China has increased its popularity among people of South American countries, and they are looking at China as a rising superpower. Chinese trade has increased in southamerican countries by  43% in the year 2023.  Columbia and Ecuador are the countries that are doing  good amount of trade with with China. Chile also  exporting its copper and  its export to China has tripled in last decade. Brazil's soybean exports to China have also doubled. South American countries also import Electric vehicles and solar panels more from China.

                                                                  China has invested huge funds of $168 billion in this Region. Mainly in Mining, Agriculture, Telecom, Renewables, and Electricity utilities. China had also given loans of $111 Billions to Venezuela, Ecuadore, and Argentina. 70% of Brazilians and 60% of Venezuelans say that China's popularity is increasing in their countries. Argentina, Brazil, and Venezuela believe that China is fairer and observes more transparent trade practices than America.





                                                                 Chinese diplomacy has no limit, and they have the nerve to infiltrate through Trade and Investments in any corner or countries of the world.  South American countries are the glaring examples of  Chines manhovers in trade with the countries which are far away from it but very near to United States of America..

                                                                 The fast Trade and Business development with the South American countries is also a danger signal for the United States of America.

Peace Of Mind

                                              The wealth, comforts, and status in Society give pleasure and fame in life. But the gain of all these physical achievements in life cannot give satisfaction, and one goes on struggling for more and more in those matters. The material achievements in life increase the urge, which becomes limitless.  It ultimately kills one's peace of mind, which brings unhappiness to life. What is the use of such achievements if they do not offer happiness?

                                             History reflects that great conquerors were found very miserable after their victories. Pandavas, after their victory in the Mahabharata, were not happy. They were not satisfied and repented for killing their Elders, Guru, and Relatives. Lord Krishna advised them to leave all physical achievement and to go to the Himalayas in search of a peaceful mind, which can give them happiness. 


                                         The world conqueror, Alexzadar the Great, who won the great wars, was not happy when dying. He was not happy because he could not take those physical achievements with him on his death. In short, he had limitless desires that couldn't make him happy. He told his people that after my death, I should be taken in a coffin, where both my hands should be shown empty, showing that I am going empty-handed. This was his sign of unhappiness in spite of physical achievements.



                                        All these show that physical achievements do not give peace of mind and happiness.  Therefore, it seems that


all physical achievements have nothing to do with peace of mind. Then, how to get satisfaction in life and  peace of mind

                                          It appears that physical achievements are being achieved due to good work and efforts made by one in this life or in a previous life. However for peace of mind and happiness one has to surrender himself to God by praying and chanting pious mantras.


                                        In short physical achievements should not be taken as God blessed things but peace of mind can be achieved only through God blessing. God  showers on  one peace of mind and happines if one chant Thy name sincerly leaving all worldly things.
