COVID-19 and Emerging New Economic World Order  by: Vijay SARDANA American companies greed is responsible for China’s rise and America's fall. Who invested in China the most? Why the invested in China so much - For-profit of their own or for the benefit of America? Think over it.  China's rise is assured, India can also take second place, but for our low ethical standards in business, we will suffer until we put our house in order. Indian managers should realize the benefit of good governance to control short-sighted gains & greed in business management. The fact still is that without innovations, India cannot match China. In the emerging  world economic order, Russia will try to destabilize American fuel and defence industry. China, on the other hand, will try to destabilize western IT, consumer products, textile, chemicals, metal industries, etc. They both will collaborate to gain leadership position in the world order.  The western world will slow dow

Indian Industry Raises Concern over Dumping Via Free Trade Agreement (FTA) A surge in imports from China and countries with which India has signed free trade agreements (FTAs) is heaping misery on domestic stainless-steel manufacturers, prompting them to seek more permanent measures to stem inflows, according to the Times of India. New Delhi (Sputnik) — Alleging that neighbouring countries like China are misusing the Free Trade Agreements (FTA) with India to the interests of their domestic industry, India's stainless steel industry has drawn the attention of the government, calling for more effective measures to stem dumping of steel by such countries. Studies conducted by the industry have shown that despite several measures undertaken by the government, imports account for nearly 20% of the domestic market, the Times of India reports. "It has become a huge problem. Jobs are getting lost and causing tremendous disruption. It is being dumped via Japan, Korea, Viet

India is the 3rd largest producer of Rapeseed and Mustard.  About 10 countries produce more than 90% of global production. Rising Import of edible oils in India is a growing concern.  Global trade of Rapeseed and Mustard : India's comparison with respect to other countries in rapeseed and mustard crops: Please note: Rapeseed '00' Variety, which I was managing,  gave more average yield in Punjab than what is there in Canada.

Competitiveness of Indian Agriculture is now at the mercy of importers and countries like China. If they increase the price of Agriculture inputs, there is no way the Government of India can control the input cost, because policies have ruined the domestic manufacturing. See what is happening to USA. Even President of USA is now at the mercy of China's political leadership. These expensive inputs will also force the government to revise MSP because the cost of production (i.e. A2 and C2) will go up. This means subsidy burden will go up when the government is planning to pay 1.5 times of Cost of Production. Without creating manufacturing in India and without creating competition in agri-inputs, China will decide what should be the cost of input in India and in turn cost of productio
