Global Vexation May End Up Questioning China's Victimized Face


By David Lodhi
China, as always is trying to hide the actual number of death in their own country and there's nothing new if they are projecting wrong stats. Noticeably, there were not many cases in big cities of China so it's quite hard to believe that Wuhan was not having any contact with "big cities". Moreover Shenzhen, the manufacturing hub of China was not much affected. The dimensions of loss can be prognosticated by the action taken by USA, they didn't announce national lockdown, though they applied strict rules and lockdown in some states and asked people to stay home. USA without caring much about people, tried to save their economy as a nationwide lockdown will terribly hit it and at a time when china has already started to get back towards market, it's hard for USA to shut manufacturing units. However, it will be no surprise if countries like ITALY, USA, SPAIN, FRANCE and INDIA come up with the urge to confine trade with CHINA, US president Trump has showed some signs as well.
The lockdown in China has undoubtedly affected the whole world and it's quite inequitable to compare it with the previously spread SARS virus because at that time china only had 4% share in global GDP which is now 16% so for sure, there will be issues in global trade and supply chains.
The relief funds may not be enough for people around because there are a lot of people who couldn't work from home and their earning has come to a halt because most of the private firms are willing to cut-off their employees or they won't be paying them if their work can't be done from home. Government may try hard to get this fixed but the game of some private firms is beyond all this. It's really significant for the government to keep an eye on the industries which can run with some restrictions and maintaining supply chains because some consequential sectors must do manufacturing of goods to satisfy daily need of the people. Food industry should get priority.
Now considering the proliferation in demand of Hydroxychloroquine, the Indian government can gain a lot of good will and soft power for future which it already is doing by increasing the rate of manufacturing and allowing more workers for the industries in Baddi-Barotiwala-Nalagarh (BBN), which is the largest pharmaceutical hub in Asia.
From selling nearly 4 billion masks in a month to boosting mask production capacity by 450%, China may be trying to "play" on a safe side.

Russia’s Melting Snow May Cost the World Economy 2 Billion Dollars

The impact of climate change on a vast permafrost area of Russia has become a principal apprehension for the country. This is primarily due to thawing of once permanently frozen ground which covers more than half of Russia. The liquefication of snow is putting buildings, pipelines and other infrastructure in peril. This problem needs to be addressed imperatively because the scale of damage will escalate every year. Rising temperatures are the epicentre of anxiety for mining, oil and gas companies. The permafrost area accounts for 15% of Russia’s oil and 80% of its gas operations. It is also home to miners including MMC Norilsk Nickel PJSC, the biggest refined nickel and palladium producer. Multiple new craters have been found in the gas-rich Yamal region, which is a risk to pipelines. By 2050, global warming may jeopardise about a fifth of structures and infrastructure across the permafrost area, costing about $84 billion. Residential real estate, worth $53 billion, might be als...
