India isn’t against investments from China or doing business with companies from there, but it’s common sense to have the investments scrutinised because there is a “general China problem”, external affairs minister S Jaishankar said on Saturday. “It has never been the government’s position… But on the investment issue, it is common sense that investments from China would be scrutinised. I think the border and the state of relations between India and China call for it,” Jaishankar said at a session on ‘New India's Risks, Reforms, and Responsibilities’ at The Economic Times World Leaders Forum. China in many ways is a unique problem because of its distinct political and economic systems, and it’s not just a problem for India, he said. “We are not the only country that is having a debate about China. Go to Europe, and ask them what is today among your major economic or national security debates? It’s about China. Look at the US. It's obsessed with China, and rightly so in many ways. So, the fact is, let's not make out as though it's only India which has a China problem,” the minister said.

Trading quickly became a habit, and Sharma soon felt his dream of achieving financial independence—generating a corpus of Rs 1 crore—was getting closer to reality. But today, Sharma’s account is bleeding red, having racked up losses of Rs 60 lakh, roughly equal to his annual salary. Meanwhile, the habit that started as a cool hobby has now turned into pure addiction. “I just can’t stop! I know I should stop trading for the day if it is not going according to my plan. I know the game is rigged, that most traders lose money… I have all the wisdom, but I am not able to turn my eyes away from the computer screen. I’m addicted to it now like a moth to the flame,” says Sharma, who is the sole breadwinner in his family of five.

It’s a gorgeous piece of kit, looking quite at home in my living room, although it may be too industrial for classic/vintage home décor.

To say Canada’s mortgage market is cutthroat is an understatement.

gold medal at stake, the top two — India’s Avani Lekhara and Korea’s Yunri Lee — were tied on points. The pressure was squarely on Lekhara as she was desperately fighting to defend the gold medal she had won in Tokyo. Lee, on the other hand, had peaked at the right time and shot multiple 10.8s to stay neck and neck with the Indian. Under pressure from her opponent, Lekhara fired a 9.9 in her penultimate shot. The Korean took advantage of the Indian’s wobble and fired another fantastic 10.7 to secure a 0.8 advantage going into the final shot. Even the hopeless optimists must have given up on the hope of the gold medal. It seemed the curse of Olympics ‘near misses’ was following India to the Paralympics too. But that’s when sport teaches you a lesson. That it’s not over till it’s over. 10.5 in her final shot for a final score of 249.7 to improve upon her own Paralympic record by 0.1. Now, all eyes were on the Korean. It was her medal to lose. Perhaps the weight of expectations was too much for Lee to bear as she ended up shooting a shocking 6.8 and surrendered the gold. Lekhara was once again the champion, India got its first gold medal in Paris.
