<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-color-alt: windowtext;">In
recent times, a notable development has taken place within China's vast
government bond market. The yield curve, particularly the spread between
30-year and 10-year bonds, has significantly narrowed, raising concerns akin to
those experienced during the United States' yield curve inversion. This
phenomenon has triggered discussions regarding potential repercussions for
China's economy, including the specter of an "asset famine" and the
looming threat of a prolonged recession. This essay delves into the implications
of this (almost) inverted yield curve on China's economic landscape.</span><span style="background: white; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u><span style="background: white; color: black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-color-alt: windowtext;">Understanding the Yield Curve and Its Significance:</span></u><u><span style="background: white; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p></o:p></span></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-color-alt: windowtext;">Before
delving into the implications, it is essential to understand the yield curve
and its significance. The yield curve is a graphical representation of the
yields on bonds of varying maturities. Typically, longer-term bonds offer
higher yields to compensate investors for the added risk of tying up their
money for an extended period. In a healthy economic environment, the yield
curve slopes upwards, indicating that investors demand higher compensation for
longer-term investments.</span><span style="background: white; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-color-alt: windowtext;">Conversely,
an inverted yield curve occurs when short-term bond yields surpass long-term
yields. This inversion is often perceived as a warning sign of economic
distress, as it suggests investors anticipate weaker economic prospects in the
future. Historically, inverted yield curves have preceded economic downturns,
making them a closely monitored indicator by economists and policymakers alike.</span><u><span style="background: white; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p></o:p></span></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-color-alt: windowtext;">In
China, the yield curve has exhibited a flattening trend, particularly evident
in the narrowing spread between 30-year and 10-year bonds. The yield
differential shrinking to as little as 11 basis points has prompted comparisons

conclusion, the (almost) inverted yield curve observed in China's government
bond market has sparked legitimate concerns regarding its implications for the
country's economy. While it serves as a warning signal of potential economic
headwinds, it is crucial to approach this development with nuance and context.
Policymakers must remain vigilant and proactive in addressing underlying
economic challenges while navigating the complexities of a dynamic global
economic landscape. By fostering resilience, adaptability, and sound policy
responses, China can mitigate the risks associated with a flattening yield
curve and chart a path towards sustainable growth and prosperity.</span><span style="background: white; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>BRIG HEMANT MAHAJANhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17976978318723822992noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5334103332594147920.post-44978314271858663322024-03-15T01:51:00.000-07:002024-03-15T01:51:46.687-07:00 The tongue exercise is effective to reduce the onset of Alzheimer's and is also useful to reduce / improve the following:<p> The tongue exercise is effective to reduce the onset of Alzheimer's and is also useful to reduce / improve the following:</p><p><br /></p><p>1 Body weight</p><p>2 Hypertension</p><p>3 Blood-Clot in Brain </p><p>4 Asthma</p><p>5 Far-sightedness</p><p>6 Ear buzzing</p><p>7 Throat infection</p><p>8 Shoulder / Neck infection</p><p>9 Insomnia </p><p><br /></p><p>The moves are very simple and easy to learn. </p><p><br /></p><p>Each morning, when you wash your face, in front of a mirror do the exercise as below :</p><p> </p><p>Stretch out your tongue and move it to the right and then to the left for 10 times. </p><p><br /></p><p>Since I started exercising my tongue daily, there was a marked improvement in my Brain Retention. </p><p><br /></p><p>My mind was clear and fresh and there were other improvements too in ….</p><p>1.

This new tank endeavor seeks to replace approximately 2,500 aging Soviet-origin T-72 tanks procured back in 1982.</p><p><br /></p><p>Currently, the Army operates a mix of T-72 tanks and their upgraded versions, alongside Russian-made T-90 tanks and domestically produced Arjun Mk-1 tanks, with more advanced Arjun Mk-1A tanks in the pipeline. Additionally, plans are underway to acquire 350 Zorawar light tanks for deployment in mountainous regions like Ladakh and North-Sikkim against China.</p><p><br /></p><p>The FRCV project represents the Army's vision for a future-proof tank equipped with cutting-edge technologies to ensure relevance for the next several decades. However, mirroring the challenges faced by the Arjun program, the FRCV initiative appears poised to encounter similar hurdles.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Army's recently outlined qualitative requirements (QRs) for the FRCV project seem unrealistic and reminiscent of past missteps. These requirements, akin to something out of a comic book, echo the overly ambitious QRs set for projects like the Multi-Caliber Assault Rifles (MCAR) in 2011, which ultimately failed to materialize. For instance, mandating a tank weighing 55 tonnes +/- 5 percent with extensive armor and versatile loading mechanisms proves impractical given existing tank designs and capabilities.</p><p><br /></p><p>Furthermore, the Army's insistence on incorporating a multitude of advanced features, including active protection systems, electronic warfare capabilities, and provisions for unmanned ground vehicle integration, while maintaining a modest price point, seems untenable. The proposed budget of $4 million per tank, totaling around Rs 57,000 crores ($7.1 billion) for 1,770 tanks, is notably ambitious considering the demanding specifications outlined.</p><p><br /></p><p>This unrealistic budgeting could potentially lead to project delays or even cancellation, reminiscent of past defense procurement blunders such as the ill-fated Medium Multi-role Combat Aircraft (MMRCA) program. The discrepancy between budget estimates and actual costs resulted in the acquisition of only 36 Rafale jets from France at a significantly higher per-unit cost.</p><p><br /></p><p>In essence, unless the Army revises its expectations and aligns them with practical realities, the FRCV project risks facing similar challenges and setbacks encountered by its predecessors, hindering the nation's quest for a truly next-generation combat vehicle.</p><div><br /></div>BRIG HEMANT MAHAJANhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17976978318723822992noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5334103332594147920.post-33879718499265521012024-03-14T21:43:00.000-07:002024-03-14T21:43:13.405-07:00Learning from Ukraine's Strategy Against the Russian Navy: Insights for India<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs) offer a compelling
advantage in modern naval warfare due to their ease of manufacturing, control,
and deployment at sea. Ukraine's innovative approach in employing multiple
inexpensive and compact USVs to target and disable larger Russian ships
presents valuable lessons for India.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Recent events have showcased the effectiveness of
Ukraine's strategy. Utilizing Maritime Autonomous Guard Unmanned Robotic
Apparatus (MAGURA) V5 USVs, Ukrainian forces successfully coordinated attacks
to sink Russian naval vessels like the Sergey Kotov, Caesar Kunikov, and the
Ivanovets. This tactic involves deploying a group of five to ten MAGURA USVs,
each equipped with a substantial warhead and capable of distracting and
absorbing fire from the target. While defenders focus on repelling the USVs,
one manages to breach defenses and disable the ship, followed by coordinated
strikes from the remaining USVs.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">This method, reminiscent of the age-old strategy of
overwhelming the enemy with sheer numbers of cost-effective weapons, has proven
highly effective for Ukraine against the Russian Navy, despite the vast
difference in resources. Notably, the Russians, despite their superior naval
strength, have struggled to control the Black Sea shipping lanes against this
unconventional threat.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">In the context of the Indian Ocean Region (IOR),
Pakistan faces a similar predicament against India, albeit with a comparatively
better-equipped navy. However, the numerical superiority of the Indian Navy,
including its formidable fleet and historical precedence of establishing
dominance in the region, poses significant challenges to Pakistan's maritime
security.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Recognizing the limitations of traditional naval
confrontations, Pakistan is exploring asymmetric tactics to counter India's
naval dominance. This includes the induction of midget submarines and the
potential adoption of Ukraine's USV strategy. USVs offer distinct advantages,
being cost-effective, easily deployable, and capable of multiple engagement
attempts, unlike conventional anti-ship missiles.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Pakistan can either develop its own USVs or procure
them from the international market, potentially leveraging Ukraine's expertise
in this area. Collaborative efforts between Pakistan and Ukraine could yield
advanced USV technologies, incorporating artificial intelligence and machine
learning for autonomous operations. However, the vulnerability of USVs to
satellite communication jamming underscores the need for robust
countermeasures.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">For India, understanding and mitigating the threat
posed by USV tactics is paramount to maintaining naval superiority in the IOR.
Failure to address this emerging challenge could result in significant
disruptions and vulnerabilities, akin to Ukraine's experience against Russia.
Hence, proactive measures to develop effective counters to USV threats are
imperative to safeguard India's maritime interests and prevent strategic
setbacks akin to "another Abhinandan moment."</span></p>

It is a choreographed show as all CCP events are. The ‘Two Sessions’ marks one year of Xi Jinping’s third term in which he has consolidated his grip on power. He is now a complete one man show. He did not even allow Li Qiang his PM to address a customary press conference. It was a departure from an established practice of the past three decades. This singular act has reduced the PMs post in China to a rubber stamp. Significantly such power consolidation is occurring at a time when China is struggling on many fronts. Its export market has collapsed. Its property sector is in cancer ward. Jobs and wages are on the wane. FDI is at an all-time low and debt problems continue. Most importantly China has entered a deflationary phase. Some analysts discuss that China is in a crisis. </p><p class="has-small-font-size" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: var(--wp--preset--font-size--small) !important; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: calc(2 * var(--wp--custom--gap--baseline)); margin-left: auto !important; margin-right: auto !important; max-width: 75%;">Most of these issues would have been discussed in the Two Sessions and Xi Jinping’s response to these problems was pretty clear. He has embarked on ‘New Productive Forces’ to bail China out. He spoke of ‘ a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation’ where China ‘must seize opportunities, increase innovation, cultivate and expand emerging industries, and plan future industries in advance’. High flying words with very little meaning just like his earlier plans of ‘Dual Circulation’ and ‘Common Prosperity’. </p><p class="has-small-font-size" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: var(--wp--preset--font-size--small) !important; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: calc(2 * var(--wp--custom--gap--baseline)); margin-left: auto !important; margin-right: auto !important; max-width: 75%;">The real wolf in the chicken coop was not discussed. That is the acute demographic decline China is undergoing. It is common knowledge that birth rates are falling off a cliff and China’s population is shrinking . Its workforce is also decreasing rapidly. Everyone knows that and is routinely downplaying the issue as if it is over the horizon. However the catch is that this problem was to happen around 2030. By then the Chinese were to have answers to all these problems and China was to live happily in a Sino Centric world that Xi was creating. Two years back when I made the point of China’s demographic decline in a conference, all seasoned and nationally well recognised ‘China hands’ looked at me as if I am from some dark hole of a faraway interplanetary system. Suddenly the problem is at China’s doorstep and the country is simply not prepared for it. In fact, what is now being officially acknowledged in China could be just about the tip of the iceberg. Further there is the great Chinese push back on any talk of ‘Japanification’. In my opinion all this will come to a head in under half a decade when we will start seeing its cancerous effects in all Chinese walks of life. At that time ‘Japanification’ will seem to be a boon. Well the more important point is that in China if a problem is not discussed, it is GRAVE! </p><figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large" style="box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; display: table; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: calc(2 * var(--wp--custom--gap--baseline)); margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto !important; margin-right: auto !important; margin-top: 0px; max-width: 75%; text-align: center;"><a href="https://pravishankar3.files.wordpress.com/2024/03/image.png" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-underline-offset: 0.15em;"><img alt="" class="wp-image-9187" data-attachment-id="9187" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-caption="" data-image-description="" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="image" data-large-file="https://pravishankar3.files.wordpress.com/2024/03/image.png?w=1024" data-medium-file="https://pravishankar3.files.wordpress.com/2024/03/image.png?w=300" data-orig-file="https://pravishankar3.files.wordpress.com/2024/03/image.png" data-orig-size="1600,1000" data-permalink="https://gunnersshot.com/2024/03/11/china-the-old-age-home-of-the-world-by-lt-gen-p-r-shankar-r/image-31/" height="640" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" src="https://pravishankar3.files.wordpress.com/2024/03/image.png?w=1024" srcset="https://pravishankar3.files.wordpress.com/2024/03/image.png?w=1024 1024w, https://pravishankar3.files.wordpress.com/2024/03/image.png?w=150 150w, https://pravishankar3.files.wordpress.com/2024/03/image.png?w=300 300w, https://pravishankar3.files.wordpress.com/2024/03/image.png?w=768 768w, https://pravishankar3.files.wordpress.com/2024/03/image.png 1600w" style="box-sizing: border-box; height: auto; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: bottom;" width="1024" /></a></figure><p class="has-small-font-size" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: var(--wp--preset--font-size--small) !important; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: calc(2 * var(--wp--custom--gap--baseline)); margin-left: auto !important; margin-right: auto !important; max-width: 75%;">Declining birth rates, a contracting work force, unwillingness to marry and a skewed gender profile are only the start points of China’s demographic decline. The real McCoy in China’s demographics is it old age problem. For starters China is ageing at the fastest rate in human history. To put in perspective, see the table above. China has an old age population approximately twice the size of India. That is the official figure. It will be more in actuality. In fact, by the end of 2022 itself, Chinese population who were aged 65 and above, outnumbered the combined populations of France, the United Kingdom and Thailand. That is not all. Its old age dependency ratio is zooming faster than the missiles it fires at Taiwan. It is set to be the highest (barring S Korea) as time passes. (see graph below). China will be an aged society sooner than later. </p><figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: calc(2 * var(--wp--custom--gap--baseline)); margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto !important; margin-right: auto !important; margin-top: 0px; max-width: 75%; overflow-wrap: break-word;"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper" style="box-sizing: border-box; position: relative;"><div class="embed-twitter" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><div class="twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered" style="box-sizing: border-box; display: flex; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; max-width: 500px; width: 500px;"><iframe allowfullscreen="true" allowtransparency="true" class="" data-tweet-id="1755698017531772935" frameborder="0" id="twitter-widget-0" scrolling="no" src="https://platform.twitter.com/embed/Tweet.html?creatorScreenName=palepurshankar&dnt=true&embedId=twitter-widget-0&features=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%3D%3D&frame=false&hideCard=false&hideThread=false&id=1755698017531772935&lang=en&origin=https%3A%2F%2Fgunnersshot.com%2F2024%2F03%2F11%2Fchina-the-old-age-home-of-the-world-by-lt-gen-p-r-shankar-r%2F&sessionId=9a8a0b83625275fa287e2ec6b718ab1a81153df7&siteScreenName=palepurshankar&theme=light&widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&width=500px" style="box-sizing: border-box; display: block; flex-grow: 1; height: 678px; max-width: 100%; position: static; visibility: visible; width: 500px;" title="X Post"></iframe></div></div></div></figure><p class="has-small-font-size" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: var(--wp--preset--font-size--small) !important; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: calc(2 * var(--wp--custom--gap--baseline)); margin-left: auto !important; margin-right: auto !important; max-width: 75%;">The population of China by broad age groups is as per the graphic published by the UN (see below). This is incidentally based on Chinese data. As per this, 1/4<sup style="box-sizing: border-box;">th</sup> of the population will be in the 60+ age group by 2030 having added about 60-100 million to the existing figures. By 2040, 1/3<sup style="box-sizing: border-box;">rd</sup> of China’s population will be above 60 with an addition of another 130-150 million seniors into the kitty. However, given the fact that the Chinese cannot be trusted with their figures as in everything else, these landmarks will be reached at least 3-5 years in advance. There is very little doubt left that China will be an aged society before long. </p><div class="wordads-ad-wrapper" style="box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: normal; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: calc(2 * var(--wp--custom--gap--baseline)); margin-bottom: 25px; margin-left: auto !important; margin-right: auto !important; margin-top: 25px; max-width: 75%; padding: 0px; position: relative; visibility: visible; width: 966.75px;"><div class="wordads-ad wordads-ad-responsive" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 580px; width: 580px;"><div class="wordads-ad-title" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px auto 5px; max-width: 550px;">Advertisement</div><div class="wordads-ad-content" id="wordads-ad-73133" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><iframe style="border-style: initial; border-width: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; height: 261px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width: 580px;"></iframe></div><div class="wordads-ad-controls" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 5px auto 0px; max-width: 550px; text-align: right;"></div></div></div><p class="has-small-font-size" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: var(--wp--preset--font-size--small) !important; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: calc(2 * var(--wp--custom--gap--baseline)); margin-left: auto !important; margin-right: auto !important; max-width: 75%;"> </p><figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large" style="box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; display: table; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: calc(2 * var(--wp--custom--gap--baseline)); margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto !important; margin-right: auto !important; margin-top: 0px; max-width: 75%; text-align: center;"><a href="https://pravishankar3.files.wordpress.com/2024/03/image-1.png" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-underline-offset: 0.15em;"><img alt="" class="wp-image-9188" data-attachment-id="9188" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-caption="" data-image-description="" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="image-1" data-large-file="https://pravishankar3.files.wordpress.com/2024/03/image-1.png?w=574" data-medium-file="https://pravishankar3.files.wordpress.com/2024/03/image-1.png?w=300" data-orig-file="https://pravishankar3.files.wordpress.com/2024/03/image-1.png" data-orig-size="574,497" data-permalink="https://gunnersshot.com/2024/03/11/china-the-old-age-home-of-the-world-by-lt-gen-p-r-shankar-r/image-1-14/" height="497" sizes="(max-width: 574px) 100vw, 574px" src="https://pravishankar3.files.wordpress.com/2024/03/image-1.png?w=574" srcset="https://pravishankar3.files.wordpress.com/2024/03/image-1.png 574w, https://pravishankar3.files.wordpress.com/2024/03/image-1.png?w=150 150w, https://pravishankar3.files.wordpress.com/2024/03/image-1.png?w=300 300w" style="box-sizing: border-box; height: auto; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: bottom;" width="574" /></a></figure><p class="has-small-font-size" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: var(--wp--preset--font-size--small) !important; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: calc(2 * var(--wp--custom--gap--baseline)); margin-left: auto !important; margin-right: auto !important; max-width: 75%;">Let us look at the macro effect this phenomenon is going to have. Senior citizens of any country impose burdens on the society and the government. The aged – weak and the infirm have to be taken care of. Normally old age problems are taken care of through personal savings, private/public pensions or insurance or a societal net to absorb them. Personal savings of many seniors have eroded sharply due to the ongoing property downturn and stock market declines. Any senior who has invested in these instruments of saving has seen his/her fortunes dip by anything between 30-50% in recent times. Indications are that they will never recover these losses. Any senior who has a nest egg in banks does not get any great interest from deposits since China has been indulging in rate cuts to boost consumption expenditure and borrowing! </p><p class="has-small-font-size" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: var(--wp--preset--font-size--small) !important; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: calc(2 * var(--wp--custom--gap--baseline)); margin-left: auto !important; margin-right: auto !important; max-width: 75%;">Turning to pensions. China’s urban worker pension fund, which is the backbone of the country’s state pension system, is predicted <a href="https://www.scmp.com/economy/china-economy/article/3005759/chinas-state-pension-fund-run-dry-2035-workforce-shrinks-due?module=inline&pgtype=article" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-underline-offset: 0.15em;">to run out of money by 2035</a> due to the declining work force who contribute to this fund and the increase in pension outlays as the number of pensioners increase. This is compounded by the fact that Chinese pension rates are abysmally poor. In 2021, the average basic pension for rural residents was 179 yuan (US$25) per month. The monthly standard in Shanghai was 1,200 yuan. These pensions are as it is not enough to support seniors and they are also running out! Hence senior Chinese have to face the stark reality of facing physical deterioration and mortality head-on on their own. That is daunting to say the least. Can trigger social unrest. </p><p class="has-small-font-size" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: var(--wp--preset--font-size--small) !important; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: calc(2 * var(--wp--custom--gap--baseline)); margin-left: auto !important; margin-right: auto !important; max-width: 75%;">As far as insurance is concerned, the less said the better. Last year in February 2023, thousands of people protested outside government offices in Wuhan when the local government slashed medical benefits for retirees from 260 yuan to less than 100 yuan per month. Wuhan was not the only place. Similar incidents broke out across the country in other cities and provinces. Why did the reduction take place? The local governments put the medical benefits on the chopping block to cut costs to curb their ballooning debts. The strict zero-Covid policies, housing market slump, and slowing economic growth has already rung a warning bell of the larger problems ahead. Resource constraints to look after the senior citizens will keep on increasing exponentially as the numbers increase. One must also see this whole issue through another prism. The health care system in China is poor to start with. This was ruthlessly exposed during Covid. It is certain that China does not have the capacity to look after its elders. </p><p class="has-small-font-size" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: var(--wp--preset--font-size--small) !important; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: calc(2 * var(--wp--custom--gap--baseline)); margin-left: auto !important; margin-right: auto !important; max-width: 75%;">So what is the ‘solution with Chinese characteristics’ being spoken of? It is called promoting the ‘Silver Economy’. As per this crazy propagandist theory, the focus will now be on catering to the requirements of seniors to trigger consumption and rescue the ailing Chinese economy. That is like selling poison to a rat. As per a study in six Chinese cities in 2016 , the average spending power of the 60-65 age group was around two-thirds that of the 20-25 age group. The figures for the 80-85 age group, is only meanwhile, 46 per cent of the peak. Today when hard times have fallen on Chinese jobs and wages as also loss in savings, to think that the ‘Silver Economy’ will bail out China from its problems in pure unadulterated tripe. </p><p class="has-small-font-size" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: var(--wp--preset--font-size--small) !important; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: calc(2 * var(--wp--custom--gap--baseline)); margin-left: auto !important; margin-right: auto !important; max-width: 75%;">There is another issue. An increasing number of newly retired parents have only one child as a result of China’s draconian one child policy. This has already put tremendous stress on the Chinese tradition of relying on offspring to care for their elders as they age. Adequate private care takers are also not available even at a cost. While the demand for senior care is growing exponentially , There is a shortage of ‘care takers’ in China to care for its senior citizens. The society is not used to this task. Hence the seniors will always be on a limb. </p><div class="wordads-ad-wrapper" style="box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: normal; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: calc(2 * var(--wp--custom--gap--baseline)); margin-bottom: 25px; margin-left: auto !important; margin-right: auto !important; margin-top: 25px; max-width: 75%; padding: 0px; position: relative; visibility: visible; width: 966.75px;"><div class="wordads-ad wordads-ad-responsive" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 580px; width: 580px;"><div class="wordads-ad-title" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px auto 5px; max-width: 550px;">Advertisement</div><div class="wordads-ad-content" id="wordads-ad-2170" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><iframe style="border-style: initial; border-width: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; height: 261px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width: 580px;"></iframe></div><div class="wordads-ad-controls" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 5px auto 0px; max-width: 550px; text-align: right;"></div></div></div><p class="has-small-font-size" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: var(--wp--preset--font-size--small) !important; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: calc(2 * var(--wp--custom--gap--baseline)); margin-left: auto !important; margin-right: auto !important; max-width: 75%;">Overall there is no doubt that China does not have the structure or the fiscal space to take care of its rapidly ageing society. In fact as per China’s own estimates the ageing process is faster than anticipated. Every week there is more than one article in Chinese media highlighting this problem. No solutions are in sight. Research by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in 2022 predicted that the rate of ageing would be “around 20 per cent” by the end of 2025. However that has been surpassed already! By all estimates the period of China “getting old before getting rich” has arrived! It is also felt internally that amongst many “grey rhino” risks which China faces, the population problem is probably the biggest and time has run out. China has been sleepwalking into a situation where it will have an elderly population equal to that of all developed countries combined by 2030. Oh incidentally, there is also a view that this generation of senior citizens are relatively better off. After all they lived through the boom times and made their fortunes. This is virtually “the last generation” and, will take the once galloping fortunes of China, along with Xi Jinping in the lead, into the old age home that China is set to become! So much for rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. </p><p class="has-small-font-size" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: var(--wp--preset--font-size--small) !important; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: calc(2 * var(--wp--custom--gap--baseline)); margin-left: auto !important; margin-right: auto !important; max-width: 75%;">If after this you think that China is set to be a superpower with all these senior citizens in the arena then my aunty has become uncle</p></div></main>BRIG HEMANT MAHAJANhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17976978318723822992noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5334103332594147920.post-55468299047986096032024-03-12T22:23:00.000-07:002024-03-12T22:23:22.505-07:00 10 times as many Chinese migrants crossed America’s southern border in 2023 compared to 2022<p><br /></p><p>The influx of Chinese migrants entering the US via its southern border has surged dramatically, reflecting a significant shift in migration patterns. In 2023, almost ten times more Chinese migrants made the journey compared to the previous year. This notable increase can be attributed to various factors including a sluggish Chinese economy, heightened political control under President Xi Jinping, and the widespread dissemination of information on social media platforms regarding how to undertake the trip.</p><p><br /></p><p>The temporary closure of the Darien Gap, a hazardous 66-mile jungle passage connecting South and Central America, in February 2024, briefly interrupted one of the most frequented migration routes in the Western Hemisphere. This closure underscored the route's significance, particularly for a growing segment of Chinese migrants reliant on it to reach the US.</p><p><br /></p><p>Although a record number of migrants, totaling 2.5 million, were detained at the US southwestern border in 2023, the proportion from China was relatively small, around 37,000 individuals.</p><p><br /></p><p>The rapid escalation in the number of Chinese migrants is striking, with encounters reported by US border patrol officials indicating a significant surge. The increase, seen especially in December 2023, reflects a shift from 900 encounters in December 2022 to approximately 6,000 encounters a year later.</p><p><br /></p><p>This surge is fueled by a combination of factors, including economic challenges in China, stricter political control, and the accessibility of information on social media platforms guiding potential migrants on the journey.</p><p><br /></p><p>The majority of Chinese migrants, as observed by journalists, hail from the self-employed middle class, unable to utilize traditional immigration channels such as educational or employment opportunities. Instead, they opt for more unconventional routes, often involving long and perilous journeys.</p><p><br /></p><p>While historically, legal avenues such as student visas were prevalent for Chinese immigration, pandemic-related travel restrictions and stringent visa requirements have forced many to seek alternative paths. Social media platforms have emerged as crucial sources of information, offering guidance on routes, transportation, and even smugglers, facilitating the journey for thousands of migrants.</p><p><br /></p><p>Despite the risks associated with illegal migration, the allure of economic opportunities and perceived freedoms in the US continues to drive Chinese migrants towards these perilous routes. The historical context of Chinese migration, often marked by challenges and risks, further underscores the complexities of contemporary migration patterns.</p><p><br /></p><p>Moreover, the current political climate, characterized by tensions between the US and China, adds another layer of complexity to the issue, potentially influencing how Chinese migration is perceived and addressed in the future</p><div><br /></div>BRIG HEMANT MAHAJANhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17976978318723822992noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5334103332594147920.post-14703037957853434602024-03-12T10:14:00.000-07:002024-03-12T10:14:15.634-07:00 Nari Shakti:World At War: Ukraine War,Hamas War-Lessons or India <p> <span style="background-color: white; color: maroon; font-family: "Noto Sans"; font-size: 14pt; font-weight: 700; text-align: justify;">Nari Shakti: Indian Army to launch 2 sports companies for girls</span></p><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: "Noto Sans"; font-size: 18px; line-height: 26px; text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: "Noto Sans"; font-size: 18px; line-height: 26px; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: "Noto Sans"; font-size: 18px; line-height: 26px; text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: "Noto Sans"; font-size: 18px; line-height: 26px; text-align: justify;">The Indian Army is establishing two Army Girls Sports Companies (AGSC) at Army Marksmanship Unit, Mhow and Army Sports Institute, Pune.

The difficulty of defending such vast networks and deterring ambiguous attackers means this threat is here to stay. While there are no easy solutions for protecting this soft underbelly of the global economy, public authorities and private companies can take practical steps to improve resilience and enhance maritime awareness.

Amidst the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and drone technologies, the significance of outer space has become increasingly pronounced. Space operations now play a crucial role in supporting Ukraine's resistance efforts against the invading Russian forces.</div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: "Noto Sans"; font-size: 18px; line-height: 26px; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: "Noto Sans"; font-size: 18px; line-height: 26px; text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: "Noto Sans"; font-size: 18px; line-height: 26px; text-align: justify;">Furthermore, space capabilities serve as real-time documentation tools for the conflict, transforming space into a domain where both state and non-state actors, such as private companies and NGOs, actively influence the dynamics and outcomes of the conflict. This trend is underscored by the growing convergence of space technology with AI, aligning with a broader global effort to digitize the command, control, and execution of multi-domain operations.</div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: "Noto Sans"; font-size: 18px; line-height: 26px; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: "Noto Sans"; font-size: 18px; line-height: 26px; text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: "Noto Sans"; font-size: 18px; line-height: 26px; text-align: justify;">While this convergence was underway before the conflict, the invasion of Ukraine has provided an opportunity to test emerging technological concepts and tactics that leverage the synergy of space and AI technologies. Simultaneously, the increasing dependence on interconnected space-based systems and infrastructure has introduced new vulnerabilities that adversaries may exploit to disrupt, coerce, or launch attacks. This interconnectedness poses a risk of the conflict extending into orbit or across borders, affecting national security.</div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: "Noto Sans"; font-size: 18px; line-height: 26px; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: "Noto Sans"; font-size: 18px; line-height: 26px; text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: "Noto Sans"; font-size: 18px; line-height: 26px; text-align: justify;">In light of these developments, this article scrutinizes the role of the space domain in the Russia-Ukraine war, examining how space has influenced the conflict and delving into the combined use of space technology and AI.

Particularly, Russia's soft power approach in Ukraine, centered on the concept of the 'Russian world' (Russkiy Mir), failed to sway Kyiv towards Moscow's alignment through peaceful means.</div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: "Noto Sans"; font-size: 18px; line-height: 26px; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: "Noto Sans"; font-size: 18px; line-height: 26px; text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: "Noto Sans"; font-size: 18px; line-height: 26px; text-align: justify;">Concurrently, the European Union's soft power initiatives, advocating for a 'Greater Europe' and promoting Ukrainian 'Europeanness' grounded in liberal-democratic values and economic advancement, curtailed the influence of Russia's soft power endeavors in Ukraine. Unlike genuine attraction, Russian soft power in Ukraine was more akin to propaganda, serving to justify expansionist agendas and blurring the lines with hard power dynamics.</div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: "Noto Sans"; font-size: 18px; line-height: 26px; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: "Noto Sans"; font-size: 18px; line-height: 26px; text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: "Noto Sans"; font-size: 18px; line-height: 26px; text-align: justify;">Following the 2022 invasion, in the occupied territories, Moscow's influence relied heavily on coercion, serving as a supplement to hard power tactics through a fusion of smart and sharp power strategies.

The growth was attributed to various factors, including the reduced cost of solar modules, as revealed in a report. Open access solar entails a setup where a power producer establishes a solar power plant to deliver eco-friendly energy directly to consumers. This significant increase in capacity represents the highest ever recorded in a calendar year. </div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: "Noto Sans"; font-size: 18px; line-height: 26px; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: "Noto Sans"; font-size: 18px; line-height: 26px; text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: "Noto Sans"; font-size: 18px; line-height: 26px; text-align: justify;">The cumulative installed solar capacity in the open access segment reached 12.2 gigawatts by December 2023, according to the 'Mercom India Solar Open Access Market Report.' This segment stands out as a bright spot in India's solar market, enticing commercial enterprises and industrial units to transition to solar and other clean energy sources. The report emphasizes the undeniable cost savings potential for businesses, especially with the ongoing decline in solar costs juxtaposed with the rising retail electricity prices. The outlook for this market segment remains highly promising, with anticipated robust growth in 2024 owing to a robust pipeline of projects.</div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: "Noto Sans"; font-size: 18px; line-height: 26px; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: "Noto Sans"; font-size: 18px; line-height: 26px; text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: "Noto Sans"; font-size: 18px; line-height: 26px; text-align: justify;">Karnataka maintained its position as the leading state in cumulative installations, contributing 33.1% to the country's overall installations, followed by Maharashtra (13.5%) and Tamil Nadu (11.4%).

This increase comes despite China's economic slowdown and refusal to de-escalate tensions with India along the Line of Actual Control (LAC). China aims to modernize its two-million-strong armed forces to deter US interference, especially regarding Taiwan. This includes strengthening conventional military and nuclear forces and strategic moves in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR), such as a military assistance pact with the Maldives.</div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px;"></div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px;"> </div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px;"> </div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: maroon; font-size: 14pt; font-weight: 700; line-height: 26px;">China warns that increasing Indian troops at border won't ease tensions</span></div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px;"></div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px;"> </div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px;"> </div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px;">China criticizes India's troop addition, stating it doesn't ease tensions.

An illustrative example occurred in 2021 when China responded to the announcement of a Taiwanese Representative Office in Lithuania by suspending permits for Lithuanian food imports. Similarly, in 2020, China retaliated against Canberra's calls for a World Health Organization-led inquiry into the origins of the coronavirus by halting imports of Australian beef, barley, and other products. This followed restrictions on coal imports in response to Australia's exclusion of Huawei from its domestic 5G infrastructure.</div><div class="google-auto-placed ap_container" style="box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; height: auto; line-height: 26px; text-align: center; width: 981.75px;"><ins class="adsbygoogle adsbygoogle-noablate" data-ad-client="ca-pub-5581497275617977" data-ad-format="auto" data-ad-status="unfilled" data-adsbygoogle-status="done" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; height: 0px; line-height: 26px; margin: auto;"><div aria-label="Advertisement" id="aswift_5_host" style="background-color: transparent; border: none; box-sizing: border-box; display: inline-block; height: 0px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0px; opacity: 0; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px; position: relative; visibility: visible; width: 982px;" tabindex="0" title="Advertisement"><iframe allow="attribution-reporting; run-ad-auction" allowtransparency="true" browsingtopics="true" data-google-container-id="a!6" data-google-query-id="CNuY2JCY74QDFaWtrAIdxl4P6A" data-load-complete="true" frameborder="0" height="0" hspace="0" id="aswift_5" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" name="aswift_5" sandbox="allow-forms allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation" scrolling="no" src="https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?gdpr=0&client=ca-pub-5581497275617977&output=html&h=280&adk=1315047019&adf=4278930660&pi=t.aa~a.233158579~i.32~rp.4&w=982&fwrn=4&fwrnh=100&lmt=1710242331&num_ads=1&rafmt=1&armr=3&sem=mc&pwprc=9726162303&ad_type=text_image&format=982x280&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newsbharati.com%2F%2FEncyc%2F2024%2F3%2F12%2FNB-Security-Scan-77.html&fwr=0&pra=3&rh=200&rw=981&rpe=1&resp_fmts=3&wgl=1&fa=27&uach=WyJXaW5kb3dzIiwiMTAuMC4wIiwieDg2IiwiIiwiMTIyLjAuNjI2MS4xMTIiLG51bGwsMCxudWxsLCI2NCIsW1siQ2hyb21pdW0iLCIxMjIuMC42MjYxLjExMiJdLFsiTm90KEE6QnJhbmQiLCIyNC4wLjAuMCJdLFsiR29vZ2xlIENocm9tZSIsIjEyMi4wLjYyNjEuMTEyIl1dLDBd&dt=1710262454401&bpp=3&bdt=3357&idt=3&shv=r20240306&mjsv=m202403070101&ptt=9&saldr=aa&abxe=1&cookie=ID%3Dd6fe76d3b9ebac04-22acc44f1ee50057%3AT%3D1698317946%3ART%3D1710262375%3AS%3DALNI_MbkpKJ83g-9s6nIC85o59A6b3bpHA&gpic=UID%3D00000c7494dc090a%3AT%3D1698317946%3ART%3D1710262375%3AS%3DALNI_MY_nDPnrdKl5vhOssI8IKukqi3PxQ&eo_id_str=ID%3D0c1152beca8238e4%3AT%3D1706165105%3ART%3D1710262375%3AS%3DAA-AfjYCuU96jTEbgYMdUwb-tRfz&prev_fmts=0x0%2C400x90%2C728x90%2C982x280&nras=3&correlator=3898553383442&frm=20&pv=1&ga_vid=1795007077.1698317942&ga_sid=1710262453&ga_hid=1660515708&ga_fc=1&u_tz=330&u_his=1&u_h=768&u_w=1366&u_ah=728&u_aw=1366&u_cd=24&u_sd=1&dmc=8&adx=15&ady=2214&biw=1349&bih=607&scr_x=0&scr_y=0&eid=44759875%2C44759926%2C44759842%2C42532523%2C44795922%2C95327297%2C95321963%2C95324160%2C95325785%2C95326913%2C31078663%2C31078665%2C31078668%2C31078670&oid=2&pvsid=1907109456059089&tmod=200279537&uas=0&nvt=1&ref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newsbharati.com%2Fauthors%2FBRIG_Hemant_Mahajan.html&fc=1408&brdim=0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C1366%2C0%2C1366%2C728%2C1366%2C607&vis=1&rsz=%7C%7Cs%7C&abl=NS&fu=128&bc=31&bz=1&td=1&psd=W251bGwsbnVsbCwibGFiZWxfb25seV81IiwxXQ..&nt=1&ifi=6&uci=a!6&btvi=2&fsb=1&dtd=648" style="border-style: initial; border-width: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; height: 0px; left: 0px; line-height: 26px; overflow: hidden; position: absolute; top: 0px; width: 982px;" vspace="0" width="982"></iframe></div></ins></div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px;"> </div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px;"></div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px;">Rather than resorting to formal economic sanctions, which China has long criticized as tools of Western hegemony, the country imposes costs on targeted nations through informal methods. For instance, to justify an import ban on foreign agricultural products, China often alleges the presence of pests or other ecological threats. These measures provide China with a level of plausible deniability, making it challenging for targeted countries to pursue legal action, while also adhering to its principled opposition to formal sanctions.</div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px;"> </div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px;"></div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px;">Despite the evident harm caused by these punitive measures, they have proven relatively ineffective in persuading targeted countries to align their behavior with China's interests.</div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px;"></div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px;"> </div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px;"> </div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: maroon; font-size: 14pt; font-weight: 700; line-height: 26px;">Chinese Hackers Infiltrating America’s Critical Infrastructure</span></div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px;"></div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px;"> </div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px;"> </div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px;">“The cyber threat posed by the Chinese government is massive.” That was FBI Director Christopher Wray, speaking at a recent security conference in Munich.

This is the first such agreement between the Maldives and China, previously known for economic support. The agreement includes training and non-lethal military equipment like tear gas and pepper spray.

Overall, the U.S. defense industrial ecosystem lacks the capacity, responsiveness, flexibility, and surge capability to meet the U.S. military’s production and warfighting needs. Unless there are urgent changes, the United States risks weakening deterrence and undermining its warfighting capabilities. China is heavily investing in munitions and acquiring high-end weapons systems and equipment five to six times faster than the United States. China is also the world’s largest shipbuilder and has a shipbuilding capacity that is roughly 230 times larger than the United States.

Here's a comparison:</p><p><br /></p><p>Sunshine at 11:30 a.m.:</p><p><br /></p><p>The sun is higher in the sky, so UVB rays, which are responsible for vitamin D synthesis, are more abundant.</p><p>Exposure at this time may provide more vitamin D production compared to sunrise or sunset.</p><p>However, there may also be higher levels of UVA rays, which can contribute to skin aging and damage.</p><p>Sunshine at sunrise or just before sunset:</p><p><br /></p><p>The angle of the sun is lower, so there is less intensity of UVB rays for vitamin D synthesis.</p><p>However, there may be a higher ratio of UVA to UVB rays, which could increase the risk of skin damage without providing as much vitamin D synthesis.</p><p>Some people find the light during these times to be more soothing and less harsh on the eyes.</p><p>Benefits of Sunshine Exposure:</p><p><br /></p><p>Vitamin D synthesis: Exposure to UVB rays triggers the production of vitamin D in the skin, which is essential for bone health, immune function, and mood regulation.</p><p>Regulation of circadian rhythm: Exposure to natural light, particularly in the morning, helps regulate the body's internal clock and promotes healthy sleep-wake cycles.</p><p>Mood enhancement: Sunlight exposure stimulates the production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter associated with mood regulation, which can help alleviate symptoms of depression and improve overall well-being.</p><p>Drawbacks of Sunshine Exposure:</p><p><br /></p><p>Skin damage: Overexposure to sunlight, especially UV radiation, can cause sunburn, premature aging, and increase the risk of skin cancer.</p><p>Eye damage: Prolonged exposure to intense sunlight can damage the eyes and increase the risk of cataracts and age-related macular degeneration.</p><p>Heat-related illnesses: Sun exposure during peak times of the day, such as midday, can increase the risk of heat exhaustion and heatstroke, especially in hot climates.</p><p>In conclusion, while exposure to sunlight at different times of the day can offer varying health benefits, it's essential to balance the advantages with potential drawbacks, such as skin and eye damage. It's advisable to limit exposure during peak sunlight hours, wear sunscreen and protective clothing, and consult with a healthcare provider for personalized recommendations regarding sun exposure.</p>BRIG HEMANT MAHAJANhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17976978318723822992noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5334103332594147920.post-87804041976695495242024-03-11T21:31:00.000-07:002024-03-11T21:31:46.131-07:00USING INDIANS AS FODDER IN UKRAINE WAR<p> Unscrupulous travel agents are deceiving Indians, enticing them to travel to conflict zones such as fighters in Russia or acting as a civilian shield in Israel. While the hard work of Indian migrants has contributed to the prosperity of various regions, these qualities have made them susceptible to exploitation by duplicitous traffickers. Recent incidents, like the death of Nibin Maxwell from Kerala in a missile attack on the Israel-Lebanon border, highlight the dangers faced by these workers.</p><p><br /></p><p>New recruits, substituting for Palestinian workers barred from entering Israel, find themselves in perilous situations due to geopolitical tensions. Urgent action is needed from the External Affairs, Home, and Labour ministries to establish comprehensive policies and government-to-government arrangements for work visas. This is crucial to prevent Indians from unwittingly joining armed conflicts, whether in dangerous border areas in Israel or falling prey to Russian schemes. The goal is to safeguard Indian workers from becoming unwitting cannon fodder in these deadly situations.</p>BRIG HEMANT MAHAJANhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17976978318723822992noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5334103332594147920.post-2062527075857870072024-03-11T10:31:00.000-07:002024-03-11T10:31:47.103-07:00 India has successfully tested the Agni-5 missile equipped with Multiple Independently Targetable Re-entry Vehicles (MIRV) technology,<p> India has successfully tested the Agni-5 missile equipped with Multiple Independently Targetable Re-entry Vehicles (MIRV) technology, a significant achievement known as 'Mission Divyastra.' Prime Minister Narendra Modi commended the scientists at the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) for this milestone. MIRV technology, with its sensitive implications for international security, enhances India's deterrence capability in the region. The successful test underscores India's strategic message to both China and Pakistan, positioning the country among a select group of nations possessing such advanced technology, including the US, UK, Russia, China, and France.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Agni-5 missile, designed for nuclear deterrence against China, boasts a range of 5,000km-7,000km. The recent test, conducted by the Strategic Forces Command (SFC) in Odisha, ensures the missile's ability to deploy multiple warheads at different locations. The system, equipped with indigenous avionics and high-accuracy sensor packages, reflects India's growing technological prowess. Meanwhile, concerns have been raised about a Chinese vessel near India's coast, potentially gathering military intelligence related to submarine deployments and missile tests.</p><p><br /></p><p>MIRV technology, or Multiple Independently Targetable Re-entry Vehicles, allows a single missile to carry multiple warheads, each capable of targeting different locations. In a MIRV-equipped missile, warheads are housed in the missile's bus, which maneuvers and releases them once outside Earth's atmosphere. This strategic advantage enables a single missile to simultaneously target multiple locations, complicating the enemy's defense strategy and significantly increasing firepower and deterrent value.</p><p><br /></p><p>Despite the complexity of deploying MIRV technology, including challenges like miniaturization of warheads and development of advanced guidance systems, its integration with Agni-5 marks a major advancement in India's ballistic missile program. The development and deployment of MIRV technology are closely guarded due to their profound implications for international security and strategic balance. Successfully incorporating MIRV technology would elevate India's position in the global strategic landscape, akin to major nuclear powers such as the United States, Russia, China, the UK, and France.</p><p><br /></p><p>The functioning of MIRV involves launching the missile into space, where the bus maneuvers and aligns itself based on designated targets before deploying multiple warheads along with decoys and countermeasures. Each warhead independently re-enters the Earth's atmosphere, proceeding towards its designated target, showcasing the sophisticated capabilities of this advanced technology</p>BRIG HEMANT MAHAJANhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17976978318723822992noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5334103332594147920.post-68502964033333897962024-03-10T22:12:00.000-07:002024-03-10T22:12:56.160-07:00रावी नदीतून पाकिस्तानला जाणारे पाणी थांबवल्यामुळे कश्मीरचा मोठा फायदा<p> </p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 5.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: center; text-autospace: none;"><br /></p>

significant element of China's foreign policy, serving as a tool to penalize
countries perceived as challenging its national interests or the legitimacy of
the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). An illustrative example occurred in 2021
when China responded to the announcement of a Taiwanese Representative Office
in Lithuania by suspending permits for Lithuanian food imports. Similarly, in
2020, China retaliated against Canberra's calls for a World Health
Organization-led inquiry into the origins of the coronavirus by halting imports
of Australian beef, barley, and other products. This followed restrictions on
coal imports in response to Australia's exclusion of Huawei from its domestic
5G infrastructure.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: red; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Rather than resorting to formal
economic sanctions, which China has long criticized as tools of Western
hegemony, the country imposes costs on targeted nations through informal
methods. For instance, to justify an import ban on foreign agricultural products,
China often alleges the presence of pests or other ecological threats. These
measures provide China with a level of plausible deniability, making it
challenging for targeted countries to pursue legal action, while also adhering
to its principled opposition to formal sanctions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: red; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Despite the evident harm caused
by these punitive measures, they have proven relatively ineffective in
persuading targeted countries to align their behavior with China's interests.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

remarkable surge in open access solar capacity, with a record-breaking addition
of 3.2 gigawatts, marking a 6.66% increase from the previous year. The growth
was attributed to various factors, including the reduced cost of solar modules,
as revealed in a report. Open access solar entails a setup where a power
producer establishes a solar power plant to deliver eco-friendly energy
directly to consumers. This significant increase in capacity represents the
highest ever recorded in a calendar year.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: red; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: red; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The cumulative installed solar
capacity in the open access segment reached 12.2 gigawatts by December 2023,
according to the 'Mercom India Solar Open Access Market Report.' This segment
stands out as a bright spot in India's solar market, enticing commercial
enterprises and industrial units to transition to solar and other clean energy
sources. The report emphasizes the undeniable cost savings potential for
businesses, especially with the ongoing decline in solar costs juxtaposed with
the rising retail electricity prices. The outlook for this market segment
remains highly promising, with anticipated robust growth in 2024 owing to a
robust pipeline of projects.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: red; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: red; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Karnataka maintained its
position as the leading state in cumulative installations, contributing 33.1%
to the country's overall installations, followed by Maharashtra (13.5%) and
Tamil Nadu (11.4%). As of the end of 2023, India had 13.9 gigawatts of projects
in various stages of development and the pre-construction phase, underlining
the nation's commitment to further expanding its solar energy infrastructure.<o:p></o:p></span></p>BRIG HEMANT MAHAJANhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17976978318723822992noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5334103332594147920.post-27534233094611067632024-03-10T00:13:00.000-08:002024-03-10T00:13:31.811-08:00 EFTA has committed to investing $100 billion in India over the next 15 years as part of the free trade pact<p> India has officially inked a free trade agreement with the European Free Trade Association (EFTA), comprising Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland. The signing ceremony took place in the presence of Union Commerce & Industry Minister Piyush Goyal, who highlighted the significance of the agreement. Goyal announced that EFTA has committed to investing $100 billion in India over the next 15 years as part of the free trade pact.</p><p>Describing the occasion as momentous, Goyal emphasized that the Trade and Economic Partnership Agreement with EFTA symbolizes the culmination of nearly 15 years of dedicated work and effort. Despite structural differences in various aspects, he expressed confidence in the complementarities between the economies of India and EFTA, foreseeing a mutually beneficial scenario for all nations involved.</p><p>Goyal, who co-chaired a meeting on the India-EFTA trade deal in New Delhi, discussed the comprehensive nature of the agreement.
