China's SAIC Motor Set To Build And Sell Audis

SHANGHAI—SAIC Motor Corp., China’s largest auto maker by sales, has struck an agreement that paves the way for it to build and sell Audi AG vehicles in the country, people familiar with the deal said Saturday, as the German car maker seeks to strengthen its position at the top of China’s luxury-vehicle market.

India And Pakistan, Second Cold War, Third World War.

On September 17th, the latent tension between South Asian heavyweights India and Pakistan escalated into overt hostility after an attack on an Indian Army base in Uri, part of the Indian-controlled section of Kashmir. Mourning the deaths of 18 soldiers, the Indian public called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s administration to strike back. India eventually retaliated on September 29th with “surgical strikes” on terror launch pads inside the Pakistan-controlled section of Kashmir. These strikes resulted in the deaths of “38 terrorists and Pakistani soldiers.” Relations between India and Pakistan have since degenerated to new lows since the conclusion of the 1999 Kargil War.

China Tries To Conquer Everest

China has big plans for Mount Everest. Although the south-facing side of the mountain, in Nepal, might be better known, the Tibetannorth face also has a rich mountaineering history, and China has outlined an ambitious new vision for commercializing it. That may sound like an unseemly approach to the world's tallest and most forbidding peak. But on balance, it will actually be a good thing.

Sentences People With Depression Hate Hearing

It’s even worse when friends and relatives give some advice which does not help at all. The sad fact is that these opinions reflect an appalling ignorance about this mental illness. Depression affects 350 million people worldwide. It causes enormous suffering and is a contributory factor in death by suicide. The alarming fact is that less than 50% of patients will seek treatment, mainly because of ignorance and apathy.

Here are some pieces of advice which are pretty useless when you are trying to help a loved one suffering from depression. Do not use these phrases if you’re trying to be sympathetic. They may have the opposite effect than desired.

Things To Do When You Are Sad

Any time you’re feeling down, you have two options: 
1) Keep doing what you’re doing
2) Do something to try and pick yourself back up.

Stop being so hard on yourself.

We put a lot pressure on ourselves. While it’s beneficial to aspire to greatness, sometimes you need to sit back, reflect, and recognize all the good things you have going on right now. So when you’re feeling down, try this: think about the things in life you’re grateful for. Focus on what you have … not what you don’t. Stop putting so much pressure on yourself. Be content with who you are right now at this moment. And remember, happiness is a choice.

Who is the leader of ISIS? Why USA is trying to sacrifice Sunni community for it's own interests?

ISIS is a US-Israeli Creation. Top Ten “Indications”

ISIS is a US-Israeli creation, a fact as clear as the sky is blue. It’s a truth as black and white as the colors on their flag. For many alternative news readers, this may be patently obvious, but this article is written for the large majority of people in the world who still have no idea who is really behind the rise of ISIS. No matter which name they go by – ISIS, ISIL, IS or Daesh – the group has been deliberately engineered by the US and Israel to achieve certain geopolitical goals. They are a religious, fundamentalist, Sunni terrorist organization created to terrorize and overthrow certain secular or Shiite Arab nations such as Syria and Iraq, but they are not just “Islamic”. They may be Muslims, and they may be advocating an Islamic State, but they are very much working towards the goals of Zionism. 

It’s amazing how many people still struggle to get that point. We have been inundated with propaganda surrounding the fraudulent war on terror, notably terms such as Islamic terrorism and radical Islam, but more accurate phrases would be Zio-Islamic terrorism and radical Zio-Islam. Secret military agencies such as the CIA and the Mossad pull the strings. Here is a list of the top 10 ‘indications’ that ISIS is a US-Israeli creation.

For Every 1000 Chinese, There's A Multimillionaire

It's not as hard as you might think to bump into a multimillionaire in China these days.

The Chinese mainland is home to 1.34 million multimillionaires as of May this year, increasing by 130,000 people with a 10.7 percent growth rate, according to a recently released Hurun report.

Given the national population was 1.368 billion at the end of 2014, based on National Bureau of Statistics, multimillionaires, including billionaires, now make up 0.1 percent of the total population of China.

That means for every 1,000 Chinese, there is one multimillionaire.

The number of billionaires has reached 89,000, an extra 11,000 or a 14.1 percent increase compared to last year.

Guangdong province is now home to the most number of multimillionaires, replacing Beijing with 240,000 people.

More than half of all multimillionaires are located in Guangdong, Beijing, Shanghai and Zhejiang.

But where do we have the best chance to meet one?

What India Wants From Pakistan

I am posting here a follow up thread to my last one "What India Wants From Pakistan". Because of some reason I could not post anymore on that thread so after reading over 10 pages posts on the previous one I decided to write about my observations here in this new thread !

Just to regather , I wanted to know the view point of people across the border on what they expect Pakistan to do to have a normal relations with India instead of ongoing war like situation. Also I pointed out the complains which most of people of Pakistan have against Indians and why we think India always is enemy of Pakistan .

My observations are that most Indians seem to accept Pakistan as a reality and ready to live with it but in dealing with Pakistan they have a superiority complex and wish to dominate their terms for peaceful relations instead of equality . But they do realize importance of Pakistan specially as a land transit trade route to Central Asia . 

The gist of their views can be said in three sentences. 1 / Give up Kashmir 2/ Stop terrorism 3/ Give access to Central Asia .

On matter of Kashmir majority of Indians consider the whole of Jammu ?Kashmir & GB as theirs but ready to accept current status quo in which both countries remain happy with what they got and make the current borders as Final Line of Control. Only a few Indians do realize that they have occupied Kashmir unjustly but even those people want Pakistan to accept this and not willing to give up their part of Kashmir .

On water issues it seems that most Indians consider Indus Water Treaty as already a big concession to Pakistan and not ready to accept the idea that India is trying to control Pak rivers by building dams on them. 

Finally on terrorism almost all Indians who responded have single view and that is we Pakistanis have always been doing terrorism in India specially by sending Jihadis in Kashmir and either India has never done any kind of terrorism in Pakistan at all or what ever Indians have done is only a reply .

After reading the views of Indians I like to put forward my own views which can be considered as a message to across the border .

First of all Pakistan is an independent sovereign nation of 200 million people and ready to have good relations with India just like we have with China but only if India decides to behave like a friendly nation.

Secondly, Indians should realize that matter of Kashmir can only be decided according to the will of people of Kashmir them selves . It is not upto Pakistan or India to impose on them our own wills . They should realize that it is the Indian Occupied side of Kashmir which has constantly been burning for last 69 years and not the Pakistan side so the problem lies on their part . They are the ones who have more then 700,000 military in a region of less then 10 million people and have been constantly killing innocent people , raping their women , destroying their youth and culture . Times are changing and in modern times a one country cannot oppress and govern any region by force and sooner or later they have to give up Kashmir but then already too much cost would be paid in terms of monetary social and human cost ! For the start Indians can stop killing Kashmiris and work with Pakistan to make the Jammu and Kashmir region as demilitarized land , give both regions more autonomy and allow people from both Kashmirs to free to travel and trade with each other . Once situation is improved then will of Kashmiri people should be asked and matter should be decided only and only according to what Kashmiri people want . 

Thirdly, water is a matter of life and death for an individual or any country . If Pakistan feels that their life line is being blocked or taken away from them then they will have no other reason but to fight for it . So it is better for India to stop tempering with Pakistani waters and solve this issue amicably or be ready for the consequences which will not be good for peace of the region.

Fourthly , on issue of terrorism , Indian public seem to be blinded by their media and see just one side of the story. They consider events like 2008 Mumbai attack , Uri and so on as state sponsored terror acts from Pakistan. On the contrary the evidence shows that the Mumbai attack of 2008, Parliament attack of 2001 and Samjhota Express burning, and some others which have all been credited to Pakistan had actually been false flag operations of Indian RAW ! On the contrary Pakistan authorities have concrete evidence about Indian involvement in terrorism in Pakistan . We have caught serving Indian officers like Kulboshan Yadav , Sarbajit Singh and so on who have admitted their crimes . I suggest Indian people to find out what their countries so many consulates are doing in Afghanistan and Iran adjacent to Pakistan border . I am sure thy will be surprised to find that these consulates are actually breeding grounds of terrorists who are being brain washed their and then send to Pakistan for blowing our people. The dreadful incident of APS and so many others like this and blood of 50,000 innocent Pakistanis is on their hands. The truth is that it is India not Pakistan which is sponsoring terrorism in neighboring country so it should stop in case Indians wish to see good relations with Pakistan.

In the end I would like to say that in case of peace between two countries Pakistan can offer a lot to India in same way as we are offering to China . Indians can conduct trade and investment and can freely travel and have access to a market of over 200 million people whose economy is growing . India can also integrate to countries like Iran and Central Asian region as well as Russia and Turkey via Pakistan . In reply Pakistanis will also love to have access to Indian markets and free travel within India and have contact with their Muslim brothers and sisters who are still living in India and also visit Islamic holy and our cultural heritage sites . So peace between two countries is a win win situation for both but for this it need sacrifice from both sides and more from India as it is a bigger power .

I , however, know that under current circumstances the above happy situation may take years or even decades since no side seem to budge from their stance. Still at the most we can hope for a situation like "Cold Peace" in which both countries just dont interfere or bother each other for a while and live and let live and see from where it can lead . I say this because the last alternate left for both countries is only one and that is conflict and with both being nuclear power this will do nothing but destroy each other and our future generations ! Are we willing to do that ?????

China's Secret Weapons In Trade Battles With India Are NTBs

A small-time exporter from Mumbai wanted to ship out engineering goods to China. He was told that a Chinese team was required to visit his factory and he would have to pay for it.

By: Banikinkar Pattanayak | New Delhi | Updated: November 4, 2016 5:41 PM

In a recent meeting with the Chinese ambassador-designate to India, commerce and industry minister Nirmala Sitharaman gave “examples after examples” on how non-tariff barriers are hurting India’s exports to that country.

A small-time exporter from Mumbai wanted to ship out engineering goods to China. He was told that a Chinese team was required to visit his factory and he would have to pay for it. He agreed, and spent some R10 lakh on the team’s visit. After six months he was told that another team would land up at his factory again before getting to the next stage of obtaining the permit. Assuming that this was going to be a long, arduous and expensive process, he decided to dump the idea and looked for another destination.

Despite Fast-Growing Economy, India Struggles To Create Jobs

NEW DELHI — 
India’s main Hindu festival of lights is just days away, but there is little cheer for 35-year-old Kali Charan. For a week, the daily-wage laborer has hung on the side of a busy street intersection in the business hub of Gurgaon hoping that building contractors or home owners will stop by to seek his services.

He is not alone. This is the spot where scores of other unemployed laborers gather daily in search of work as masons, carpenters, painters and plumbers.

One Belt, One Road: China builds infrastructure with speed unprecedented in history

A few weeks ago, China opened on its territory a nearly 1,000-mile long highway in the northern parts of the country, in the autonomous region of Inner Mongolia. At first glance, there is nothing unusual as far as the 930-kilometre (km) stretch between Bayan Nur City and the village of Alha in North China goes ... completely through the Gobi Desert. Many would ask what is the economic benefit of a road passing through the nothingness? On the territory of the Gobi Desert, which is 12 times larger than Bulgaria, live about as many people as in the municipality of Petrich (most of them in the country of Mongolia), and large reserves of natural resources are not available. The world's longest highway through the desert, however, is part of the new Silk Road: 'One Belt, One Road'. The completion of the highway of over 2,000 km will be finalised in June 2017 and the trip between the capital, Beijing, and Urumqi in Sindzyan - the Uighur autonomous region - will be shortened to 10 hours. From there, from the west, north and south stretch the vast spaces of Asia and Europe with the colossal economic prospects that they hide.
The Chinese leaders slowly but methodically move towards a grandiose infrastructure project of the new Silk Road. Beijing will not just build a fast transport and communication link with the countries of the Eurasian continent with this. The project, 'One Belt, One Road', aims to redefine global trade and financing and to transform the geopolitical architecture of the world, replacing the Atlantic and Pacific relations with Eurasian trade and economic and financial cooperation.
