China's big road is going to be awfully bumpy - Michael Schumann, Bloomberg Chinese officials privately expect to lose...and up to 80 percent in Pakistan.

What's really important is, when the Dalai Lama next visits Arunachal Pradesh, what will the Chinese do ? a) Find another six places to rename in their map b) Rename the same places above to other names, or perhaps swap their names around The nation wants to know.

I'm not too sure why folks are saying this is a disaster for DT and that he is immature in diplomacy etc? NoKo was just a proxy, this was shadow boxing between Eleven and DT and I think the later really dealt a K.O. to Eleven's image of a strong man and showed the Chinis there's a top dog in the nei...

PS: Sindhu's win elevates her to World #2 behind the Taiwanese who won the All England, overtaking Marin and Sung. Great game by Sindhu, I think she has the capacity to take Saina's mantle to the next level, much in the mold of how Tendulkar took Gavaskar's mantel forward. However I think the compe...

Now, now what is this? Indian GDP growth for the 3rd quarter beats analysts' and Steve Forbes' forecast and grows 7 per cent? Now wait for the articles questioning the numbers!

India: The World’s Fastest Growing Large Economy? Pardon me saying this, but is there any reason to post such dribble? Does it add any value to this thread?

37. India's tax-to GDP ratio is very low. We are largely a tax non compliance society, when too many people evade taxes burden falls on those who are honest. 38.

No transaction over Rs. 3 lakh will be allowed in cash, says Arun Jaitley How can this be enforced?

They just need to move toward to the current state in the first world. It would be interesting if you could explain how exactly they are going to make the move?

^ That is why the demographics pt #3, not *directly* referenced by the chappie, is the key to *growing out*. Without the demographics tailwind no one can grow out of debt. In 1990 PRC had that tailwind and going into 2020 demographics are the headwinds now. Perhaps you did not see this. Added later...

Maybe a bit OT for this thread. But one needs to keep in mind that yuan devaluation especially vis a vis the dollar makes it that much harder for the Chinese to fund political projects such as One Belt, One Road and CPEC. It jacks up costs since all of this will necessarily be dollar denominated. In...

So I conclude that "car sales dropped" is a positive indicator of a BM area hit. Likewise, someone might find a statistic that says: "Mandrax sales w/o prescription dropped 90%". "RDX sales dropped 98%". Visits to LaHores dropped 97% (I assume they don't use credit car...

Both have been hurt. Just that the poor have anyway been getting hurt, and will continue to be. But with all respects, the effect, and levels, of hurts on the poor and the rich are very different. The rich have or are given options on how much they can afford to lose and still survive, the poor hav...

I think a lot of poor daily wagers were hurt by their employers inability to pay them in cash and thus had to stop working. The number of daily wagers working in the informal sector is apparently huge. Informal sector employment is over 90% of all employment and 80% of those are daily wagers. Dipan...

This sounds so fake and insincere to me that it is laughable. all the people who say "The poor are hurt" should first say that they are also hurt. If they are not hurt there is no need for them to complain about the poor with fraudulent post-demonetization tears Shiv, The poster is just r...

The question to ask is why return of 97 or even 100% of old notes constitutes a failure. If 157% of currency had returned, that would be a baad sign of pakisstaniyat. If only 50% returned, that would mean that the government set unrealistic rules for return/exchange/confessions. I mean, had that be...
