  The Economic Times 30.11.2020 Chinese Scientist are now arguing that the coronavirus originated in India in July-August 2019 when an unbearable heatwave in May-June that year forced animals and humans to share the same water sources.  Various outlets of the state-run Chinese media have been carrying reports in recent days stating that a number of imported food products from dierent countries, including a consignment of sh from India, were found to have traces of the COVID-19 alleging that the virus may have entered China through foreign routes.  Asked whether that is China's official view too, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian told a media briefing here that “even though China was the first to report  coronavirus  but doesn't necessarily mean China is where the virus  originated ”. “So we believe the origin process is a complex scientific issue which requires joint efforts on COVID-19 cooperation from the scientific community worldwide.

 By Anniek Bao ET China's top-level push to nurture semiconductor champions as it reels from an unfolding tech war with the U.S. has not gone to plan. The giant cash splash has been diluted among thousands of small companies without the talent or know-how to compete with global giants, according to Wang Lin, a partner at venture investment rm Walden International Inc. China’s drive to become more self-suicient in the tiny processors that power everything from smartphones to self-driving cars has been at the center of its tech rivalry with the U.S. But breaking into this technology-intensive industry typically requires billions of dollars in investment, strong technical expertise and plenty of highly skilled sta. As the government is incentivizing chip designers and manufacturers with generous state subsidies and favorable policies, more than 13,000 Chinese companies have registered as semiconductor-related businesses in the rst nine months this year, according to data from corporat...

Hindustan Times Dated: September 04, 2020 Chinese Embassy in the US has criticised the State Department’s decision to impose further restrictions on the Chinese diplomats in the country saying this has “grossly trampled” on the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. “With the excuse of reciprocity, the US imposed yet another unjustified restriction and barrier on Chinese diplomatic and consular personnel on September 2. This has grossly trampled on the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations and the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, and China is firmly opposed to it,” the Chinese Embassy said in a statement. The Embassy said it also runs counter to the “self-proclaimed values” of openness and freedom of the US side. “China has always supported and provided necessary facilitation for foreign diplomatic and consular personnel, including those from the US, to perform their official duties in China,” the Chinese Embassy said while adding that we urge the US side to “correct it...

Hindustan Times Dated: September 02, 2020 China’s treatment of Uighur minorities has been widely criticised across the world, and many international bodies have demanded action against the Chinese government. Last week, Joe Biden, the Democratic nominee for US presidential election, called the Chinese action a genocide. His campaign said the Biden stands strongly against it in strongest terms. Biden also took the opportunity to lash out at his Reublican rival by questioning President Donald Trump what action his administration is planning to take. Though Trump has criticised Beijing for the coronavirus crisis, and often called the Sars-CoV-2 “China virus”, he has also sought a trade pact. What he got was a mini trade deal last year, and the ties have since soured. So, Biden hose to score a political point in race to White House. China has been widely condemned for setting up complexes in remote Xinjiang region (where Uighurs mostly live) that it describes as “vocational t...

The Indian Express  Dated: September 02, 2020 China  likely plans to double its stockpile of nuclear warheads in this decade, including those designed to be carried atop ballistic missiles that can reach the  United States , the Pentagon said in a report released Tuesday. Even with such increases, China’s nuclear force would be far smaller than that of the United States, which has an estimated 3,800 warheads in active status and others in reserve. Unlike the U.S., China has no nuclear air force, but the report said that gap may be filled by developing a nuclear air-launched ballistic missile. The Trump administration has been urging China to join the U.S. and Russia in negotiating a three-way deal to limit strategic nuclear arms, but China has declined. Chinese Foreign Ministry officials have said China’s arsenal is too small to be included in negotiated limits and that by pressing China to join in such talks the Trump administration has created a pretext for ...

The Indian Express Dated: September 02, 2020 On Saturday night, the Indian Army thwarted an attempt by  China  to change the status quo near the  Line of Actual Control (LAC)  by deploying its troops to a previously un-deployed area on the southern bank of the  Pangong Tso  Lake in eastern Ladakh. The Army said in a statement on Monday morning that Chinese troops “violated the previous consensus arrived at during military and diplomatic engagements during the ongoing standoff in Eastern Ladakh and carried out provocative military movements to change the status quo”. While the  Pangong Lake  has been among the most contentious sectors in the ongoing military standoff in eastern Ladakh for nearly four months now, the activity until now had been restricted to the northern bank.

The Indian Express Dated: September 02, 2020 New Delhi and Beijing engaged in a war of words Tuesday and Defence Minister  Rajnath Singh  chaired a meeting of the military brass after Indian troops, thwarting Chinese manoeuvres at  two places in Ladakh   on two different days, occupied “tactical features” for area domination. Indian Army sources confirmed that the pre-emptive moves were undertaken at “more than one location”, largely in the areas mentioned by  China  in its statement: south bank of  Pangong Tso  and near Reqin La, not very far from Rezang La. The Ministry of External Affairs, in a statement Tuesday evening, countered the Chinese protest and said the second incident took place Monday “even as the ground commanders of the two sides were in discussions to de-escalate the situation”. It said “Chinese troops again engaged in provocative action. Due to the timely defensive action, the Indian side was able to prevent these at...
