There was an article in Deccan Herald to the extent claiming that India has reiterated One-China Policy.

Are there any good books or articles on that whole affair where we tried to give away Siachen?

Tanaji saar,

There are some books referring to this matter (sanjay baru's accidental PM, for instance) but look for books that mention Operation Meghdoot

Check Out China’s Short-Range Air Defense Vehicle Capable Of Packing A Whopping 96 Mini Interceptors

A short-range air defense (SHORAD) vehicle that can be loaded with up to 96 small interceptors at a time has been spotted amid ongoing preparations for a huge Chinese military parade in the country’s capital, Beijing, next week. Referred to as the FK-3000, the self-contained system was developed with a particular eye toward offering mobile point defense against waves of incoming drones.

The FK-3000 was developed by the state-run China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC) and first emerged publicly at the Zhuhai Air Show in 2022. The extent to which the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) may have now fielded it, and whether it has been assigned a new designation in the process, is unknown.

^^^12+12 Total 24 can be seen. Where is this 96 coming from?

[Manish_P]

Their hypothesis, based on the faint cross pattern on the cover, is that each canister might be divided into 4. Housing micro interceptors (for short range anti-drone operations).

Possible, yes. Probable, perhaps. Saleable, unlikely - unless you have a bakra like bakistan.

The CCP's assessment is that the US H1-B visa fee is a self-goal.

"Even if the US government gains fiscally and creates more job opportunities for some Americans—assuming those goals are partly achieved—the damage to American businesses would far outweigh any benefits," Lü said.

The real loss will be for US tech companies—both giants and startups—which rely heavily on foreign talent, especially in their early stages when they can't afford higher-cost domestic hires, the expert said.

Hain? They are saying that foreign H1B workers cost less, i.e. they get paid less than the prevailing wages.

Wei Hai Wei, China, and the Japanese Navy, 1895 - Chennai Centre for China Studies, C3S

Abstract

The 19th Century was particularly cataclysmic for China due both to internal and external circumstances. Great rebellions, like the ‘Taiping’, and even greater assaults by western ‘barbarian’ powers made it very difficult for the Qing dynasty, in total contrast to the military successes of the previous century. But, the greatest debacle was yet to happen in 1894-1895 when the Japanese military defeated China comprehensively both in land and on the sea. As a result, China ceded large parts of Manchuria and Shandong, conceded Taiwan, and lost control of Korea – all to Japan. It was the final sea battle at Wei Hai Wei that decisively sealed the fate of Qing China and set off a chain of events that continues to echo even today. Here we analyze the event, the consequences, and see what lessons are to be learnt.

There are many in this forum that have issues with Chinese ownership of critical assets overseas, in that they beleive that China then controls them. I personally, remain unhappy with Chinese ownership but firmly beleive that any stategic asset is liable to seizure by the host country, if it feels threatened, ie,

Dutch government takes control of Chinese-owned chipmaker Nexperia

Move escalates frictions between western countries and Beijing over access to high-end technology

"The Dutch government has taken control of Chinese-owned semiconductor maker Nexperia, warning of risks to Europe’s economic security after alleging “serious governance shortcomings” at the company.

"In a statement on Sunday the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs said it acted because of “a threat to the continuity and safeguarding on Dutch and European soil of crucial technological knowledge and capabilities”.

Wingtech said that on September 30 the Dutch government had issued an order requiring Nexperia and its global subsidiaries, branches, and offices not to make any adjustments to their assets, intellectual property, business operations or personnel for one year.

The following day, three top Nexperia executives with Dutch and German nationalities submitted an emergency request to the Amsterdam court of appeal to intervene at the chipmaker. The court immediately suspended the powers of Chinese chief executive Zhang Xuezheng.

The court also suspended Zhang from his positions as executive director of Nexperia and non-executive director of its holding company, Wingtech said.

A week later, on October 7, the court ordered the appointment of an independent, non-Chinese director, who would hold decisive voting power and represent Nexperia.

The court also ordered that all shares in Nexperia — except one — should be placed under custodial management by a designated individual, not yet named, for management purposes, Wingtech said. The company added that it retained the economic rights to all of its shares."

The ground force of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) Army is transitioning from the traditional close-quarters combat to beyond-visual-range combat, enabled by its new-generation main battle tank, according to a PLA Daily report on Monday. An expert said that this will grant the PLA Army advantages in combat, with China being a leading country in the world to achieve this capability.

China requests WTO consultations against India’s EV, battery subsidies
https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202510/1345717.shtml

On Wednesday, China submitted a request for consultations with India at the WTO regarding its subsidy measures for EVs and batteries, the MOFCOM spokesperson said.

India's relevant measures are suspected of violating multiple obligations, including national treatment, and constitute import substitution subsidies, which are explicitly prohibited by the WTO, the ministry spokesperson said.


....
Qian Feng, director of the research department at the National Strategy Institute at Tsinghua University, told the Global Times on Wednesday that EVs and batteries are seen as vital components of India's manufacturing strategy as well as a prioritized means for the Indian government to address climate change and extreme weather.

The South Asian country has been stepping up imports of EVs and batteries in recent years for its development, although the overall volume is limited, according to Qian. "However, the main emphasis is placed on developing its own EV industry.

....
China and India have been seeing improving signs in bilateral ties and people-to-people exchanges recently.

However, the country has also often resorted to trade protectionist acts.

Among the 20 monitored countries and regions, India topped the ranking in the global trade friction index in June, according to a survey released in August by the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT), China's trade promotion agency.

India also topped the ranking in the trade friction index with China, with trade frictions in electronics industries such as cameras, routers and chips staying at a high level, the CCPIT report showed.

Container ship arrives in UK via China-Europe Arctic route, demonstrating viability of northeast passage
https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202510/1345620.shtml

The container ship Istanbul Bridge arrived late on Monday (UK time) at Felixstowe, the UK's largest container port, via the Arctic shipping route, marking the inaugural voyage of the world's first China-Europe Arctic container express route and demonstrating the commercial viability of the northeast passage, state broadcaster CCTV reported.

....
The China-Europe Arctic Express route links a number of major Chinese and European ports, including Ningbo, Shanghai, Qingdao, and Dalian on the Chinese side, and Felixstowe in the UK, Rotterdam in the Netherlands, Hamburg in Germany, and Gdańsk in Poland on the other.

Slashing the shipping period to just 20 days, the route is the fastest container route between major Chinese and European ports, according to CCTV. It was the fastest delivery in the history of container shipping, and the third delivery route between China and Europe.

This compares with traditional routes bypassing the Cape of Good Hope taking about 50 days, and those going through the Suez Canal taking about 40 days and the roughly 25 days needed by the China-Europe Railway Express.

Since the voyage was conducted in an opportune window of time, no icebreaker service was used. As the distance is much shorter, the route also reduces carbon emissions significantly, according to operators.

The opening of this route also demonstrated China's commitment to cooperation and development in Arctic affairs, the CCTV report noted.

In 2018, China released a white paper titled "China's Arctic Policy," saying that China hopes to work with all parties to build a "Polar Silk Road" through developing the Arctic shipping routes.

The significance is that to compete, India needs IMEC ASAP, IMO.

That is extraordinary in instrumentation. In my ECE UG, I designed a 5 MHz oscilloscope (did not build ofc as it was a semester end project) which was a big deal then. I would do it differently now but that was then 47 ybp.
