Operation Sindoor fallout: Chinese-made surveillance gear banned, aerial monitoring boosted for Independence Day
In the wake of Operation Sindoor, this year's Independence Day celebrations will feature enhanced aerial monitoring and a complete ban on the usage of 'Made In China' surveillance equipment in and around the Red Fort in the national capital. With Prime Minister Nadrendra Modi set to make his Independence Day address from the ramparts of Red Fort on August 15, the venue was taken over by the Ministry of Defence from July 15. This year, more guests are being invited to attended the Independence Day celebrations in comparison to previous years, sources said. Security agencies, intelligence agencies, and Defence Ministry officials who attended a recent high-level meeting regarding security at Red Fort held a detailed discussion on possible security breaches through unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). Anti-drone systems 'Installation of anti-drone devices and radar systems near the Red Fort and possible threats were discussed in detail with defence forces. Ministry of Defence will be deploying anti-drone systems to stop any aerial breach and the Indian Air Force will be on high alert. Drones are among the key security concerns. We have also given clear instructions to the vendors installing CCTVs in and around the venue to not install any 'Made in China' equipment for surveillance purposes,' said an official. The Indian government has banned Chinese surveillance equipment, including CCTV cameras, citing potential data leakage risks. Another official said that aerial security is a major concern this Independence Day. Teams of experts have visited the Red Fort and surrounding areas to assess the minute details of all possible security threats. Another high-level meeting has been called on Friday to discuss the preparations for the event in detail, including the security aspect. Operation Sindoor was a drone-centric war, with Pakistan using loitering munitions and swarm drones. These attempts, however, were effectively neutralised by India's comprehensive and multilayered air defence architecture. Smart video surveillance Security agencies said that they will be installing intelligent video surveillance systems, including features such as a vehicle number plate recognition system, face detection, people movement counting, tripwires, audio detection, defocus, and spotting intrusions and abandoned or missing objects.

Watch Xi considers new 'Made in China' plan
00:00 We know that President Trump wants more factories back in the U.S. but now we're hearing that China is considering a new version of its master plan to upgrade its manufacturing sector. This is part of the Made in China agenda, which first surfaced ten years ago. And the goal was for China to have leadership globally across a range of different high end technologies by 2025. This program got a lot of pushback from the West, so much so that China even avoided identifying it by name, at least in official discourse. But that doesn't mean that made in China actually went away. In fact, out of the 13 key technologies that I Bloomberg analysts track from the initial plan, China now has global leadership in five of them and is fast catching up in a further seven. So now we are hearing that China is thinking about drafting a new iteration of made in china. Sources say that it could outline goals for the next decade and prioritize different technologies like chipmaking equipment, which the U.S. has been blocking China from buying. Exactly. When we get this blueprint. That's unclear. But there is a separate five year national development plan that's due for release in March, and that could be the point for the new made in China to be unveiled.

Chinese EV Trucks Will Build the Cities of the Future
If you think the world is starting to get used to surging sales of Chinese-made electric cars, the next wave of exports is going to be bigger, and more powerful. That's because the construction machinery giants that grew fat off the country's property bubble are looking for new markets to offset the downturn at home. Combined with looming electrification, the effects could be quite as dramatic as the other Made-in-China export booms which have so troubled trading partners.
