Trade with China
International Relations

1. The Galwan standoff has raised the demand from Indians to boycott Chinese goods including Chinese items in Indian restaurants.

2. But banning trade with China abruptly is not a good approach.

A. Trade deficits

1. India has a huge trade deficit with China, but this does not mean that the Indian economy is weaker.

2. At the same time, India has a trade surplus with the US, UK. This does not imply India’s economy is stronger.

3. Trade deficits imply that India is not capable of producing the needs of its people efficiently.

4. Running huge trade deficits could be a problem if a country does not have enough forex reserves to import the goods. But India has $500 billions in its forex reserves.

B. Indian producers and exporters

1. Indian producers import a huge proportion of intermediate goods such as electrical machinery, fertilizers, organic chemicals etc.

2. These imports become part of final goods that are used by India or exported.

3. A blanket ban on imports will hurt these Industries that are already affected by the slump in the economy due to COVID-19.

C. Policy Credibility

1. Imposing huge duties on imports from China or a blanket ban will lead to policy uncertainty.

2. Investors look for policy predictability and credibility in the investing country. So, this could impact India’s ability to attract new Investors.

D. impact on China

1. While China’s imports from and exports to India constitute only 1% and 3% in its total trade, India’s imports from and exports to China constitute 14% and 5% respectively.

2. So, India will be more affected as it would lose 14% of imports and 5% of exports to China, and increases the prices of final goods in India.

3. Imposing a blanket ban could create more problems in India, as India is currently experiencing slow growth rate.

4. India needs to aggressively increase its share in global trade by becoming more competitive.

Apple is testing a ChatGPT-like AI chatbot

  According to a recent report by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple is making significant strides in the development of artificial intelligence tools to rival the likes of OpenAI and Google.

वैज्ञानिकों  ने  अंतरिक्ष  में  गुरूत्वीय  तरंगों  की ऐतिहासिक    की: वैज्ञानिकों ने 11 फरवरी 2016 को घोषणा की कि उन्होंने अंतत: उन गुरूत्वीय तरंगों की खोज कर ली है, जिसकी भविष्यवाणी महान वैज्ञानिक आइंस्टीन ने एक सदी पहले कर दी थी। ब्रह्मांड में जोरदार टक्करों के कारण पैदा होने वाली इन तरंगों की खोज खगोलविदों को इसलिए उत्साहित कर रही है क्योंकि इससे ब्रह्मांड का अवलोकन उसकी क्रमबद्धता में करने का एक नया रास्ता खुल गया है। इस नयी खोज में खगोलविदों ने अत्याधुनिक एवं बेहद संवेदनशील लेजर इंटरफेरोमीटर ग्रेविटेशनल वेव ऑबजर्वेटरी (लीगो) का इस्तेमाल किया, जिसकी लागत 1.1 अरब डॉलर है। लीगो की मदद से उन्होंने दूर दो ब्लैक होल के बीच हुई हालिया टक्कर में पैदा हुई गुरूत्वीय तरंग का पता लगाया। गुरूत्वीय तरंगों की सबसे पहली व्याख्या आंइस्टीन ने वर्ष 1916 में अपने सापेक्षिता के सामान्य सिद्धांत के तहत की थी। ये चौथी विमा दिक्-काल में असाधारण रूप से कमजोर तरंगें हैं। जब बड़े लेकिन सघन पिंड, जैसे ब्लैक होल या न्यूट्रॉन स्टार आपस में टकराते हैं तो उनके गुरूत्...
