China and Taiwan

                                                China is basically expanding country which has disputes of boundaries around all the countries who have border with it. It also includes Russia also which is consider to be its best aligned countries in world power conflict.  China has also claimed over Taiwan as its integrate part.

                                             Taiwan is facing Chines invasion at any time as Chines Navy  has encircled it. Chines air force crossing the Taiwanese airspace every now and then and keeping surveillance over it.  Therefore America is keeping close eyes on chines movements in south China Sea.  Japanese Prime minister has said that they will support Taiwan if China try to attack. This has also created lots of controversies in the matter.  However  one thing is certain that Chines and Taiwanese conflict is the burning issue in the world.

                                        Chines and Taiwanese conflict has to be viewed the kidnapping Venezuela President Madura by American forces. China was one one of the best friend of Venezuela who was supplying arms and ammunitions.  Venezuela was selling its oil to China in spite of American sanctions. China has also heavy investment in Venezuela. However Chines arms and help could not protect Venezuela against the attack of America. This proves that American arm technology is far superior than Chines.

                                   China only protested the attack on the sovereignty of one Venezuela and  did not retaliated in any form. It reflects the weakness  of China. In this context we have to view the conflict between China and Taiwan.

                                   America is  behind the Taiwan then  the chines attack on Taiwan is being this time  far away.  It clearly indicated that that China cannot effort to face America at present. That is why Taiwan is supposed to be safe for time being.

The present president comes from Indo Guyanese parent who is driving the country in all over development.  The president Irfan Ali has invested lots of funds in Schools,  Roads and Hospitals.  This is all possible because of off shore oil drilling income of 7.6 Billion Dollar.  Irfan Ali is very progressive ruler who want to see that economy of Guyana does not depend on oil in next five years.

World Race  In Innovation

                                                    China is in race with America in many sectors. NIO's design workshop in China has registered 9800 world patents in China. This it self shows how China is doing  in the  world race globally. 

                                                      Some of the patents are related to battery technology.

 Changing Trend In Indian market

                                                                         India is having GDP  above 6% and even world bank has reported the it is the fastest developing economies in the world.  India stands fifth economy in the world and would cross forth number in the year 2026. i.e. Overpassing  Japanese economy.

                                                           This is because 30 % of Indian has come out of poverty and it has strengthened now  middle class. It has also increase purchasing power of the people.  Therefore America and China are also in the search of vast Indian consumer market.

                                                          However Indian market is also taking very big changes. India has vast retail market with small scale industries and small  vendors dealing in various commodities. i.e. In urban and rural areas. But with large expansion of mobile market and on line business has changed the scenario of the Indian retail market. It is said now that why people should pay for rickshaw or transport for  coming to market when they can get anything they want sitting at home.

                                                            The changes came after covid -19 pandemic crisis due to Broadband  Boom. People then use to explore online shopping which lead to increase of E-Commerce  share double in Fashion market.

It is reported that  out of 10 buyers of 'Meesho' Nine  lives out side big cities. The system is working efficiently because  the company like 'Delhivery' has made delivery system  more efficient in most remote parts of the country. Besides that E-Commerce company  does not charge for the delivery of goods. Amazon  and Myntra have also also launched law- cost fashion arms. All  these developments  have badly  effected the  Major small vendors of Indian retail  market.

                                                            E Commerce  has also satisfied the aspiration of small towns in India. The change also  reflect in the  living  standard of  people throughout including rural India. However in the process small vendors are loosing their business. But this is changing trend in Indian retail business.

Formation of New Power Order

                                                           President Donald Trump has given slogan 'Make America Great. He was elected on the same mandate by the American  people.  The mandate includes Strict Immigration policy ,Rectification of  Trade Imbalances, Curtailing of unnecessary Expenses, and Tax Reforms. This is because America has grievance that America is paying more in form of aid then other countries of the world. Besides that Americans are loosing jobs because of outsiders entries in America. The crust of the problem is that American debts is increasing in Trillions Dollars.

                                                       All these circumstances has change the American policies. America has started implementing  strict immigration laws, imposition tariff on import of goods and the increase of  fees for HB-1 Visa for out side skilled workers.

                                                       The Tariffs were imposed by America on countries like European Union, China , India, South Korea, Japan and many other countries. The NATO countries of Europe are told to increase their budgets by America otherwise there aid may be cut or stop. Besides that  Russia is already under sanction because of its attack on  Ukraine.

                                                           All these developments have effected the concern countries. It seems all these will lead to new alignments on world level. India, China and Russia are the big countries of Asia along with other 'BRICK' countries are trying to protect their interest. They are trying to divert their trades and other thing in order to fill the American threat.  They are also trying to do trade in chines currency 'Yuan'.  It is reported that they have already done their 80% trade in Yuan. Russia and India is also doing their payments in their own currencies. It appears they have also come very close in military level. 

                                                               In short now world is divided into western and Asian block at world level. This is going to lead new power order in the world.

Iron Lady of Japan

                                                       Takaichi Sanae has become the first woman prime minister of Japan. Once she was a drummer in a band will now become the most powerful person in Japan. She is patriotic and adapts well to world politics. Her party also thinks that she is capable of saving the Vanishing popularity of the party with her political neck.

                                                      She is also facing challenges from within the party, which has a different agenda. However, she shares a harder political approach of her mentor, former Prime Minister Abe Shinzo, who was killed. Her policy will be fiscal expantion and structural reforms. It may create more inflation.

                                                    She is a nationalist, so she will proceed carefully regarding Japan's relations with South Korea and China. Even with America, she will deal in such a manner that the Japanese security deal is not affected.  She is a self-made politician and a keen student of policy matters with a simple and clear handling style. All these qualities will help her manage her job well.

                                                   However, her survival depends upon her adjustment to the situation. Besides that, China is also more assertive, and North Korea is also more aligned with Russia. All these development is a great challenge to her.

Understand China 

                                                 America is feeling insecure about losing its status as a superpower in view of the fast-rising Chinese power in the world. It has started challenging America militarily, economically, and industrially.

                                                It is also in a race with America regarding AI by creating  DeepSeek Chat against ChatGPT, Gemini, etc. China is trying to attack the Dollar through the Yuan. Russia and China, along with other countries, began doing 80% of their trade in Yuan. This shows the ambition of China to become a world superpower. However, it is very difficult to understand China as it is a closed country with an iron curtain of all types of sensors, surveillance, and media controls.

                                                   In view of the above, it is better to study and understand the life story of the Chinese supreme leader, Xi Jinping.  Jinping's father was one of the top leaders during the revolution of China, along with its supreme leader Mao Zedong. Xi Jinping's father, Xi Zhongxun, suffered during the Cultural Revolution in China at the hands of authorities on account of so so-called anti-Mao view. He was put behind bars along with Jinping. They suffered verymuch then. His father was reinstated in the party and power after Mao's death.

                                                    Xi Jinping is strongly influenced by his father. He learn from him how to respect parents and to be loyal to the party. Jinping is very proud of the Chinese Ancient culture and its ancestors thereof. Xi Jinping believes that suffering strengthens your willpower and dedication to the cause. He also believes that the territory left by ancestors should not be shrunk at any cost.

                                                  It was also his father's desire to unify Taiwan with China. His son wants to fulfill the desire of his father and said once, " Whoever throws away those things left behind by our ancestors is a traitor.' Significantly, Xi Jinping loves China's Cultural Heritage. Xi Jinping showed his desire during his visit to India that he would like to visit Vadnagar, Gujarat,  which was visited by one of the famous Chinese travelers, Fahien, Centuries ago. He described Indian Buddhist Culture and prosperity thereon.

                                                  All these give a true picture of the strong ruler of China who wants to make China one of the superpowers by establishing the ancient cultural heritage and glory thereof.
