China-India Geopolitics: News & Discussions

[G0dfather]

But according to all Chinese members( 2% original + 98% iron brother false Flaggers) here China doesn't give a flying fu*k about India.

 

[kankan326]

Don't use the word "warn". It makes China sound like a weak bully. "Protest" is more proper.

 

[Ajaxpaul]

One BIG middle finger from India to Chinese foreign ministry. You can't do jack shit.


Oh really , why don't you ask that clown Xi to do it now and save us from stupid warnings which is not even funny any more

Lol....China should really shut Ganges down...Did you say clown Xi ?

ROFL

aha never knew china will fume so much for justa bridge constructed

 

[beijingwalker]

The funny thing is most of those so called warning things were reported from indian sources

 

[saurav jha]

Chinese war(ning) machine is fearsome

 

[beijingwalker]

I m kind of puzzled how come in Chinese media China uses the word "表示“ that means express or say, when translated by indian media it becomes " warn". seems like india really needs to hire better translators.

And Chinese media barely mentions india if it does at all, and indian media has China mentioned everyday, see the difference in the mentality.

Its just sensationalism selling warmongering for trp ratings just ignore it. And thanks for comparing and highlighting otherwise we poor people would not even know what is true.

 

[Jackdaws]

Yawn. What's new. Next time, we will probably send the Dalali Lama to open a new bridge. China can cry, express, warn, moan, howl or bark some more then - however you want to interpret it.

 

[kris]

yet another warning by China

They haven't warned, they asked to use restraint
I don't understand what purpose it serves

 

[Naara-e-Mastana]

Good move by China before india says anything about CPEC make more controversies .

 

[rott]

Useless to comment on such threads.

 

[China and Pakistan]

To tell the truth, China simply does not like to compete with India because China and India are not at one level. China's vision is always aimed at the world power, not India. If China and India were compared, China would be very large, but India would have only 3 points. In addition, China does not like the arms race. China cares only about how to develop peacefully and improve the standard of living of the Chinese people, so as to benefit the world. India is not qualified to compare with china. India is a joke in front of china!

Indian exports to China rises sharply in first four months

BEIJING: After years of decline, Indian exports to China rose sharply in the first four months of this year registering a 20 per cent increase to USD 5.57 billion, though the trade deficit continued to persist.

Indian exports received a major boost mainly due to China increasing the steel consumption by importing big quantity of iron ore as well as gems and diamonds besides cotton materials.

The India-China trade grew by six per cent to USD 26.02 billion from January to April this year, according to the data of China's customs accessed by PTI here.

As per the data, the Indian exports have gone up to USD 5.57 billion, registering a 20 per cent increase.

China's exports to India too amounted to USD 20.45 billion, a 14 per cent raise.

The trade deficit problem for India, however, continued. The trade deficit in the first four months amounted to USD 14.88 billion in favour of China.

Last year, the deficit aggregated to around USD 52 billion in a little over USD 70 billion total bilateral trade becoming a thorny issue between the two countries.

But the spurt in Indian exports to China this year showed promise of recovery, the first since iron ore exports started declining in 2013 due domestic crackdown on mines as well as China scaling down its steel production due to global economic crisis.

The trade deficit began expanding ever since the iron ore exports, the main stay of Indian exports started declining.

The iron ore exports from India to China in the first four months totalled to USD 1.04 billion jumped by about 45 per cent. Also, Indian exports of iron and steel rose by USD 218 million almost 300 per cent.

Indian diamond, gems and precious stones exports also contributed to the rise.

In the first quarter this year, Indian exports of diamonds and gems and stones amounted to USD 558 million. India had 33.8 per cent market.

Last year India's exports of diamonds, stones and gems to China grew by 28.48 per cent to touch USD 2.48 billion with India emerging as top two exporters in the burgeoning Chinese market after South Africa.

Officials say there is a huge scope for Indian exports in this field as China's total volume of imports in 2016 was USD 15.816 billion. In 2015 China has imported USD 17.974 billion worth of diamond and precious stones.

Indian exports of cotton and yarn in the first four months rose to USD 600 million a 40 per cent increase.

Chinese exports to India also rose by 14 per cent during this period and the bilateral trade grew by six percent.

Indian business and trade circles associated with the bilateral trade, however, advised caution saying that base of Indian exports continued to be small and it is to be seen whether the increase is sustainable in the long run.

But at the same there was hope of major increase as China has announced liberalisation of pharmaceutical imports.

India has been pressing China to open up its pharmaceutical and IT software sectors to expand the base of Indian exports. So far, no major breakthrough have been made in both the areas, despite promises by China.

More subways in india mean more TBMs.
Very bright future for China-india trade!

CREG digs deep to expand abroad

China Railway Engineering Equipment Group Co, the country's biggest manufacturer of tunnel boring machines by both production capacity and revenue, will ship eight sets of the giant machines to international markets including Israel and Singapore in the second half of this year, its chairman said.

CREG, a unit of State-owned China Railway Group Ltd, focuses on the development and production of shield tunneling machines and tunnel boring machines. China used to completely rely on imports until 2008 when CREG independently developed its own shield tunneling machine after six years of research.

Chairman Tan Shunhui said CREG planned to establish new operation centers in Australia, the United States and Italy over the next three years.

He said it would build sales networks and team up with local dealers, as well as handling tender and bid processes in more overseas projects, especially those countries and regions related to the Belt and Road Initiative.

"Many of these opportunities come from these markets' growing demand for subway projects, water conservation, railways, highways and underground crossings," Tan said.

He said that undeveloped infrastructure poses a bottleneck to economic development in countries and regions related to the initiative.

The Zhengzhou-based company has so far produced some 592 tunnel boring machines for both the domestic and international markets, including 25 sets for international destinations such as Vietnam, Lebanon, India and Malaysia.

CREG's sales totaled 4.86 billion yuan ($704 million) in 2016, up 152 percent year-on-year, while export volumes last year reached 370 million yuan, up 203 percent from 2015.

The company said its tunneling machines had notable advantages over traditional excavators because they were safer, faster and more convenient. They can operate totally underground, without disturbing traffic above. Moreover, they freed up staff from dangerous work.

CREG already opened an operation center in Germany to handle European contracts and others in Singapore and Hong Kong to manage its Asian and African projects. It also supplied pipe jacking machines and auxiliary equipment to clients in South Korea and Iran.

"We found that many developed markets have increasing demand to expand their metro networks," Tan said.

He said the company's next priority was securing orders for tunnel-engineering equipment from high-speed railway projects in the United Kingdom and Turin's water improvement project in Italy. The company has more than 2,260 employees, including 80 technicians carrying out consultancy and after sales work in overseas markets.

Sun Fuquan, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Science and Technology for Development in Beijing, said Chinese engineering equipment makers are set to become some of the largest beneficiaries of the Belt and Road Initiative.

"It is critical for them to enhance brand recognition and a localization process to further compete with those established rivals from Japan, Germany, Sweden and the United States," Sun said.
