India, China in talks to restart border trade after five-year freeze amid US tariff tensions
NEW DELHI, Aug 14 — India and China are discussing resuming border trade five years after it was halted, foreign ministry officials on both sides have said, as US tariffs disrupt the global trade order. Past trade across the icy and high-altitude Himalayan border passes between the neighbours was usually small in volume, but any resumption is significant for its symbolism. The two major economic powers have long competed for strategic influence across South Asia. But caught in global trade and geopolitical turbulence triggered by US President Donald Trump's tariff regime, the countries have moved to mend ties. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi is expected for talks in New Delhi on Monday, according to Indian media, after his counterpart Subrahmanyam Jaishankar visited Beijing in July. That, as well as agreements to resume direct flights and issue tourist visas, has been seen as an effort to rebuild a relationship damaged after a deadly border clash in 2020 between their nations' troops. 'For a long time, China–India border trade cooperation has played an important role in improving the lives of people living along the border,' China's foreign ministry said in a statement to AFP on Thursday. It added that the two sides have 'reached a consensus on cross-border exchanges and cooperation, including resumption of border trade'. New Delhi's junior foreign minister, Kirti Vardhan Singh, told parliament last week that 'India has engaged with the Chinese side to facilitate the resumption of border trade'. No restart date was given by either side. Successive US administrations have seen India as a longstanding ally with like-minded interests when it comes to China. India is part of the Quad security alliance with the United States, as well as Australia and Japan. But ties between New Delhi and Washington have been strained by Trump's ultimatum for India to end its purchases of Russian oil, a key source of revenue for Moscow as it wages its military offensive in Ukraine. The United States will double new import tariffs on India from 25 per cent to 50 per cent by August 27 if New Delhi does not switch crude suppliers. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, according to Indian media, might also visit China in late August. It would be Modi's first visit since 2018, although it has not been confirmed officially. Beijing has said that 'China welcomes Prime Minister Modi' for the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit opening on August 31. — AFP

RM274,000 frozen chicken feet scam: Company director claims trial in KL court
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 14 — A company director pleaded not guilty in the Sessions Court here today to a cheating charge involving the supply of frozen chicken feet to China two years ago. R Gopinatan Pillai, 60, was accused of deceiving an individual into believing he could supply frozen chicken feet for export to China, causing the victim to deposit RM273,987.50 into his company's bank account. The offence was allegedly committed at an office unit in Menara Sentral Vista, Jalan Sultan Abdul Samad, here on July 5, 2023. The charge, under Section 420 of the Penal Code, carries a penalty of up to 10 years' imprisonment, whipping and a fine, upon conviction. Judge Hamidah Mohamed Deril set September 2 for mention and bail appeal after Gopinatan, who is currently being held at the Sungai Buloh Prison for another offence, informed the court that his lawyer was absent today and would appeal for bail on the next mention date. Earlier, deputy public prosecutor Batrisyia Mohd Khusri had offered bail of RM30,000 with one surety. — Bernama
