Business, but don't trust.
"'Will you walk into my parlour?' said a spider to a fly." After the fly fell for the spider's tricks, "And now, dear little children, who may this story read, To idle silly flattering words, I pray you ne'er give heed." wrote Mary Howitt. "Chinese ambassador to India Xu Feihong has said that Beijing 'firmly opposes' Washington's steep tariffs on Delhi and called for greater cooperation between India and China." "He called the two countries 'double engines' of economic growth in Asia and added that unity between India and China benefits the world at large." BBC. "Double engine" are Mr Modi's words and they have been noted by our neighbors. "When Prime Minister Narendra Modi barrels around India to support allies running for state government elections his war cry is: 'ab ki bar double engine ki sarkar' (this time a double-engine government). At face value this means having the BJP at the center together with BJP governments in every one of India's 28 states." Dawn. And, just as a 'double engine' BJP dictatorship will be death for Indians, a double engine partnership with China would be 'Lingchi', or death by a thousand cuts (wikipedia). Our government should always remember that the Chinese are an uncivilised, barbaric people whose offer of friendship masks a primitive brutish violent nature. "Two Chinese warships collided in the South China Sea on 11 August, as the country worryingly ramps up pressure on and bullying of the Philippines. The incident occurred within 10 nautical miles of Scarborough Shoal, which lies within the Philippine exclusive economic zone (EEZ) but which China illegally seized in 2012." ET. While China is aggressive outside its borders, "China's economy slowed across the board in July with factory activity, investment and retail sales disappointing, suggesting Beijing's crackdown on destructive price wars and spillovers from Donald Trump's tariffs are casting a pall over the world's No. 2 economy." ET. China's youth unemployment is serious. "No one would want to work without getting paid, or even worse - having to pay to be there. Yet paying companies so you can pretend to work for them has become popular among young, unemployed adults in China." "Chinese youth unemployment remains stubbornly high, at more than 14%." BBC. "Back in April, Beijing tightened the screws on exports of seven key rare earth elements and magnets," but "After months of speculation, Beijing has withdrawn its export restriction on rare earth magnets to India." HT. "China deepened a trade spat with Canada, filing a lawsuit at the World Trade Organisation over import restrictions on steel just days after slapping fresh duties on Canadian canola." ET. Canada is far away. China occupies our land. All spiders are carnivores. Brainly. Chinese especially. So, smile but keep guns ready.
