China stands by India, firmly opposes 50% US tariff & threat to hike it: Envoy
Xu said in the face of such acts, silence or compromise only emboldens the bully. NEW DELHI: With PM Narendra Modi and President Xi Jinping set to carry forward the Sino-Indian rapprochement in their upcoming meeting in Tianjin, Chinese ambassador to India Xu Feihong Thursday backed India on the issue of US tariffs saying China strongly opposed the Trump administration's move to impose 50% tariffs on India for its oil procurement from Russia. Xu said in the face of such acts, silence or compromise only emboldens the bully. "US has imposed tariffs of up to 50% on India and even threatened more. China firmly opposes it. China will firmly stand with India to uphold the multilateral trading system with WTO at its core," said the ambassador. He also said the essence of trade was to complement each other's advantages and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results, not a calculation of who loses and who gains. He said trade should not become a tool for pursuing individual selfish interests. "US has long benefited gr-eatly from free trade, but now it is using tariffs as a bargaining chip to demand exorbitant prices from various countries," said Xu at an event organised by thinktanks Chintan Research Foundation and Centre for Global India Insights. "The development of China and India has not been completely smooth, but fri-endship and cooperation have always been the main theme. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Benefits of Trading Bitcoin CFDs IC Markets Learn More Undo There might be challenges, but unity and cooperation are our only options," said Xu. His remarks came ahead of Modi's first visit to China in seven years. He will be in Ti-anjin on Aug 31 for SCO summit, on the margins of which he will have bilateral meetings with Xi, Russian President Vladimir Putin and leaders of other member-states. The ambassador called for enhancing strategic trust and focusing on common interests. He said economic and trade structures of China and India were complementary. "We'll welcome more Indian commodities into the Chinese market. India has a competitive edge in IT, software and biomedicine, while China is seeing rapid expansion in the fields of electronic manufacturing, infrastructure construction and new energy. The Chinese side welcomes more Indian enterprises to invest in China. It is also hoped that the Indian side could provide a fair, just and non-discriminatory business environment for the Chinese enterprises in India, so as to promote common development of industries and benefit the people of the two nations," he said.

Kalyan's legacy the foundation of double engine govt: Yogi
: Chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday stated that the legacy of former Uttar Pradesh chief minister the late Kalyan Singh serves as the foundation for the functioning of the current 'double engine' government at both the state and at the Centre. Chief minister Yogi Adityanath, recalled that Kalyan Singh devoted his life to Indian culture, nationalism and public service and did not hesitate to relinquish power for the Ram Mandir cause. (HT Photo) He recalled that Kalyan Singh devoted his life to Indian culture, nationalism and public service and did not hesitate to relinquish power for the Ram Mandir cause. Adityanath was addressing a gathering in Aligarh on Thursday to mark the fourth death anniversary of Kalyan Singh, who had also served as the governor of Rajasthan and Himachal Pradesh. Considered a prominent figure in the Ram Janmabhoomi movement, Kalyan Singh is referred to as 'Babuji' in Aligarh, where he had represented the Atrauli assembly constituency. The seat is currently held by his grandson, Sandeep Singh, who serves as a minister in the Uttar Pradesh council of ministers. Kalyan Singh's son Rajveer Singh aka Raju Bhaiyya hosted the Hindu Gaurav Diwas event on the occasion. The dignitaries who paid tribute to Kalyan Singh included Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan, deputy chief ministers Keshav Prasad Maurya and Brajesh Pathak, Uttar Pradesh BJP president Bhupendra Singh Chaudhary, the party's state general secretary (organization) Dharampal Singh, ministers Sandeep Singh, Baldev Singh Aulakh, Manohar Lal, former MP Rajveer Singh 'Raju Bhaiya,' Uma Bharti and Kalraj Mishra. Kalyan Singh was born in a humble farmer family in Aligarh and imbibed the values of nationalism from the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, the chief minister said. As a teacher and later as a BJP worker, he dedicated his life to Bharat Mata and Bhartiyata. 'On behalf of the people of UP, every devotee of Lord Ram, and the state government, I bow in tribute to him,' Yogi said. Highlighting his political journey, he noted that as health minister in Uttar Pradesh 1977, Kalyan Singh gave a new direction to health services. In 1991, he restored law and order and emphasized good governance, carrying forward heritage and development as chief minister, Adityanath said. Kalyan Singh sacrificed the CM's post in 1992 for the Ram Janmabhoomi movement and later took full responsibility when the disputed structure in Ayodhya was demolished, ensuring no devotee of Lord Ram was harmed, Adityanath said. 'With his courage, he paved the way for the grand Ram temple,' he said. 'Under PM Modi's leadership, the double-engine government is carrying forward his ideals. This is the true tribute to Babuji,' he remarked. Institutions like Bulandshahr Medical College, the Super Specialty Cancer Hospital in Lucknow, and his statue in the state capital stand as permanent memorials to his legacy,' he said. Yogi accused the Opposition of dividing society in the name of 'PDA' and recalled how they once incited riots and restricted Hindu festivals, including the Kanwar Yatra and Durga Puja. 'When violence erupted in Aligarh, Bareilly, Muzaffarnagar, and Meerut, they ignored the plight of Hindus, Dalits, and backward communities. Only the BJP stood with them,' he asserted. He also accused them of threatening judges, undermining the Election Commission and conspiring to turn infiltrators into voters. PRADHAN DEFENDS BILL ON REMOVAL OF PM, CM AFTER 30 DAYS IN JAIL Union minister Dharmendra Pradhan applauded Kalyan Singh and targeted the Opposition parties for being filled with criminals. Pradhan talked about the bill placed before a Joint Parliamentary Committee on Wednesday wherein the prime minister, chief minister of any state or a minister will have to resign within 30 days if sent to jail. He stated that it is the BJP which has the courage to bring such a law. 'The duly elected regime of Kalyan Singh was undemocratically dismissed by the Congress regime and it did the same to the governments in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan in the 1990s. The same Congress party is now raising questions against the law,' Pradhan said. MAURYA DEMANDS BHARAT RATNA FOR KALYAN, PATHAK LAUDS EX-CM's IDEOLOGY AGRA: Deputy chief minister Keshav Prasad Maurya on Thursday demanded the Bharat Ratna for Kalyan Singh, who was given Padma Vibhushan in the past. Maurya also demanded a change in the name of Aligarh to Harigarh. Deputy chief minister Brajesh Pathak said that Kalyan Singh dedicated his life to 'Sanatan' beliefs, adding that it is a matter of pride that we are running our government in the state on Babuji's ideology.
