Anybody who believes in Adani should just put their life savings in his stocks and wait it out. Every other discussion is useless.
Its crazy how the narrative around this has been shifted to nationalism and conspiracy theories - but - no matter how much confidence anyone has both pro or against, do not put too much risk in any single view. Its common sense but sometimes people can do crazy things. Even if it works, one day another trade/investment wont. And its hard to not get overconfident after making a killing.Anybody who believes in Adani should just put their life savings in his stocks and wait it out. Every other discussion is useless.
"Well well well, looks like Adani shares are falling faster than a clumsy toddler learning to walk! And what's the deal with those anti-China, pro-India geopolitical master buyers? Are they too busy sipping chai and watching cricket to notice the stock market? Come on, guys, get your act together and show those shares some love! Or else, Adani might start selling pakoras instead of power." - ChatGPT

Dont the Chinese already own ports in Greece, Hungary, Iran, Pakistan, Sri Lanka etc? They have a rail line running right to their ports in Europe. They are building another rail line to gwadar port in Pakistan so their shipping times reduce even more. Even if india got chabahar, I'm sure it's no big loss to them. They already won imo, don't know why you think they have anything to lose. Also India has a lot of catching up to do wrt China. India can't just become another Shenzhen overnight with our current MP's who only think short term plans till they are in power. Even in the year 2100, i doubt India will be like China of 2020. It's an impossible task for our country.The Chinese are the ones doing these proxy attacks. They are the ones with the most to lose with a rising India. They are the ones that would want to disrupt a resilient supply chain that works around them. They are the competition.
Privatise profits and socialize the losses.And many of these ****ers are freshly getting added to market indices. SMH.

Modi's vision for a resilient supply chain will take time. Maybe a decade. He'll still be in power to see it through. The Russians will get the north south corridor done now that their gas no longer flows west it will go south and east.Dont the Chinese already own ports in Greece, Hungary, Iran, Pakistan, Sri Lanka etc?

Already allowed two child policy back in 2016. Problem? not too many takers because it's expensive to bring up two kids in China. So their replacement rate is negative as many couples prefer not to have kids.> The Chinese were supposed to get old in 2030, the clocks worked faster and they're there today.
Difficult to trust statistics from China. They way they enforced one child policy, they may enforce 2 child policy.
I think the opposite is the case. There was a database hack some time back and they found only a billion people in it. Children included. So their population is less than ours presently.Or as seen in random, discover few million people who were not in their statistical records.
Japan had that before yet chose to make in China. So labour costs play a role because not everything can be automated.Moreover, they have capability to automatize industrial processes in massive scale, which is already proven. Can be used to outplay any emerging entity unless artificial restrictions like trade sanctions, ban on technology transfer, etc. are forced on.
Found it. The Americans did not pressure the Chinese to withdraw their bid. They pressured the Israelis to reject it. Emiratis withdrew as well as local bidders. That's how Adani got it.Am interested to know how the Americans got the Chinese to withdraw their bid
The same thing we don't want happening in Sri Lankathe U.S. administration offered to conduct a comprehensive security review of the Haifa port, due to Washington’s concern over a Chinese company’s involvement in the expansion of the port. The review would have been conducted by a team from the U.S. Coast Guard, but Israel declined the offer.
Chinese involvement in the port project has been harshly criticized for several years in Washington, particularly at the Pentagon. The American defense establishment is concerned that the Chinese activity at the port could provide an opening for technological surveillance of what goes on there, including collection of information about operations of the Israel Navy and joint operations with American ships. That prompted Washington to warn Israel against continuing to work with China on the project. At various meetings, Israeli officials were even told that the American Sixth Fleet would stop docking at Haifa port as a result of Chinese presence.
This might be in jest, but no sane person should ever do that. To flip the argument, are all adani naysayers putting ALL of their money to short right ? Adani has stock futures, you can short too. Put money where your mouth is then. You can buy 4090 many many times with your shorts, right ? Its just a few lakhs, that's small change.Cause you are all buying it with every spare nickel you can find. Right? lol
Any source that says China was propped up by US to become a miracle economyThen there is China which teamed up with the US, becomes P5 member and got propped up by them with the most favoured trading status because the Americans foolishly believed the CCP would become their allies.
Surprised this isn't widely known. India & China had the same size economy in 1990. You think they grew on their own without any helpAny source that says China was propped up US to become a miracle economy
One don't have to 'think'. Their policies that led to the growth is available easily now.Surprised this isn't widely known. India & China had the same size economy in 1990. You think they grew on their own without any help
Most favoured trading nation status since 2001.
The bottom line is Chinese didn't get there on their own. Yeah, their policies helped but its only part of the story. A small part.One don't have to 'think'. Their policies that led to the growth is available easily now.
They were not propped up by giving the most favoured status. That too as late as 2001. Industries flocked to China because of their policies. It was not a political favoritism. Their policies were precisely made because west will not give any technology transfer to enable their industries like they did for other nations
If there is money to be made then people do it. The amount of elite capture that has occurred here that allows the sensitive tech to assist an adversary isn't weird its downright moronic. If it wasn't for Trump throwing a big spanner into the works this nonsense would be continuing even today. Note that when the Americans figured they were getting skewered they now try to warn allies and partners not to fall into the same trapThat aside. Even politically to think that US will side with China is plain weird.
Do you mean to say Germany, Japan & China didn't benefit from US help? We got hardly any from the US. I think that was quite well explained already.Is this something popular among Americans to take credit for what the Chinese did?
Good lord.The bottom line is Chinese didn't get there on their own. Yeah, their policies helped but its only part of the story. A small part.
It's a long topic. I can only give you a heads upGood lord.
When the US does it gets repeated by the restWhen I was studying for my PhD at Columbia University in 1967, my political science professors emphasized how the West and Japan had mistreated China, with the implication that my generation needed somehow to atone for this. Many of our textbooks contained similar arguments. This perspective—the desire to help China at all costs, the almost willful blindness to any actions that undercut our views of Chinese goodwill and victimhood—has colored the U.S. government’s approach to dealing with China. It has affected the advice that China experts offer to U.S. presidents and other leaders
They called it constructive engagement.Ever since President Richard Nixon’s opening to China in 1971, U.S. policy toward the People’s Republic has largely been governed by those seeking “constructive engagement” with China to aid its rise. This policy has remained in effect, with only marginal changes, for decades, across eight U.S. presidential administrations. Democratic and Republican presidents have had different foreign policy visions, but all agreed on the importance of engaging with China and facilitating its rise.
In the 70s when this madness began the Chinese economy was 10% the size of the US. What could possibly go wrong with such a policy?The constructive engagement crowd, populated by prominent academics, diplomats, and former presidents, has held significant sway over policymakers and journalists covering China. I should know—I was a member of this group for many decades. In fact, I was among the first people to provide intelligence to the White House favoring an overture to China, in 1969. For decades, I played a sometimes prominent role in urging administrations of both parties to provide China with technological and military assistance. I largely accepted the assumptions shared by America’s top diplomats and scholars, which were inculcated repeatedly in American strategic discussions, commentary, and media analysis. We believed that American aid to a fragile China whose leaders thought like us would help China become a democratic and peaceful power without ambitions of regional or even global dominance. We underestimated the influence of China’s hawks
