• Why India, why? India to go ahead with $2.3 billion Turkish shipyard deal. Turkish shipyards are a major supplier of warships to the Pakistani Navy and concerns had been raised on how access to the strategic HSL by its engineers and workers could result in serious security issues. HSL is located close to the Ship Building Centre, where India’s nuclear armed submarines are built, as well as the Eastern Naval headquarters.

Quick notes: Vulture investors | Darwin award...

• Vulture investors: Nations brace for Chinese takeover of distressed assets.. "First China sent the world to ICU, then sold them ventilators". . Profiting from c-virus carnage.

The private equity market in India has collapsed as investors pull back. Entrepreneurs desperate for cash. Chinese firms negotiating acquisitions in India at dirt cheap prices. Return of the East India Company? Pls comment what should be done.

• Using pandemic to wipe out small business: Private equity firms looking to cheaply buy up small businesses.

Quick notes: Jio stake | Equalization levy...

• Stop this virus: Facebook eyes multi billion dollar stake in Reliance Jio. . . Don't play with national security, learn from China.



• Twitter police: Beijing’s c-virus lies are just fine.



• Revolt against Xi Jinping? “An official call to arms against Xi: The clown who insists on wearing the emperor’s new clothes.”



• Equalisation levy: Foreign-owned e-commerce players will have to pay equalisation levy from the next fiscal. The levy, which hitherto was applicable only to digital advertising players such as Google, has now been expanded to cover “e-commerce supply or services”. Setback to Chinese e-commerce players like AliExpress, Shein and Club Factory selling in India.

Quick notes: Copper proper | Partying royals...

• Preventing future pandemic: Copper could destroy norovirus, MRSA, virulent strains of E. coli, and coronaviruses—including the novel strain currently causing the COVID-19 pandemic.. When a microbe lands on a copper surface, the copper releases ions, which are electrically charged particles. Those copper ions blast through the outer membranes and destroy the whole cell, including the DNA or RNA inside. Because their DNA and RNA are destroyed, it also means a bacteria or virus can’t mutate and become resistant to the copper, or pass on genes (like for antibiotic resistance) to other microbes.




• Royals partying with C-virus: Cloud over Rashtrapati Bhavan, Parliament after Kanika’s Holi party.. Dushyant, along with MPs of Rajasthan, had also attended a breakfast meeting with President Ram Nath Kovind.. Entitlement: She hid travel history, dodged procedure.



• American Complicity in China's Rise: President Bill Clinton pushed for allowing China into the WTO. The deal was finalized under President George W. Bush in 2001. American corporations were salivating with glee over the 1.2 billion potential customers they might sell goods to, as well as the cheap labor pool China would bring to the global market.
  
  
  It did not play out as hoped. Today the Chinese Communist Party oversees the world's largest army and second-largest economy, and in numerous ways has become the most powerful nation-state on the world stage. It has also used its economic prowess to become even more authoritarian and illiberal than in the past.

  Horror video from Wuhan, Feb 2020:

Quick notes: Globalists | Passive vaccine

• Globalists May Soon Become an Extinct Species: Free trade is rare. Historically, it has been largely confined to periods when a major global power promoted the free exchange of products in its own enlightened self-interest. That was true of Great Britain in the 19th century after it spearheaded the Industrial Revolution and wanted to insure the easy flow of raw materials for its factories from abroad and foreign markets for their output. After World War II, Americans used trade to rebuild Western Europe and Japan to counter the Soviets.



• Israeli company working on ‘passive vaccine’:  “People that are exposed to a virus develop antibodies for that virus.. If patients who have recovered from the disease and are in convalescence donate plasma, there is a very good likelihood that in that plasma there are going to be antibodies.”



• Japanese Flu Drug 'Effective': Avigan, also known as Favipiravir, is effective in helping Wuhan Virus patients recover, China said. But a Japanese health ministry source suggested the drug was not as effective in people with more severe symptoms. In 2016, the Japan supplied Favipiravir as an emergency aid to counter the Ebola virus outbreak in Guinea. 



• Phoren returned: And entitled.

• Where Ties With China Are Close, the C-virus Follows: Italy was the first (and only) G-7 nation to sign onto the Belt and Road Initiative. The cities hardest-hit by the virus, Milan, Venice, and Bergamo, have sister-city agreements with China. The Iranian regime has had a comprehensive strategic partnership with China since 2016. The Islamic Republic allowed flights in and out of four major Chinese cities until the end of February.



• Kumaoni folk नमस्ते करना:
    चैनीज़ माल है, थोडा ही टिकगा
    ज्यो ही गर्मी बढेगी, खुद ही मिटेगा 




• Terminology: Isolation/Quarantine/Social Distancing.

To clarify:

Isolation = you have tested positive for the virus

Quarantine = you have been in contact with someone who has tested positive for the virus & are waiting to see if you develop symptoms

Social distancing = something everyone can do to reduce the risk of transmission

Quick notes: Champion China | Cleaning bot...

• “Beijing is playing geopolitics with the epidemic”: Now that the rate of new infections in China has slowed, officials are trying to portray the country as the world leader in the fight against the Wuhan Virus. The Central Propaganda Department is even publishing a book — in several languages — praising Mr. Xi’s role in guiding the country through the crisis.

Quick notes: UV Robot | Chinese apps...

• UV Robots: Autonomous robots can efficiently disinfect hospitals using UV light .Each robot is a mobile array of powerful short wavelength ultraviolet-C (UVC) lights that emit enough energy to literally shred the DNA or RNA of any exposed microorganisms.



• UV Sterilization: Ultraviolet light is being beamed through public buses and lifts in China to wipe out  germs. With around 1,000 buses needing disinfection daily, the UV system has reduced the manpower needed for regular public transport disinfection.  UV disinfection is effective but needs to be used with care as the light can cause skin cancer.



• Italy's bitter experience with Chinese Hug: Italians sold their leather goods and textiles companies to China and allowed 100,000 Chinese to move to Italy to work in these factories

Many Italians in Northern Italy sold their leather goods and textiles companies to China.

• Save the spiders: Spiders regularly capture nuisance pests and even disease-carrying insects – for example, mosquitoes. So killing a spider doesn’t just cost the arachnid its life, it may take an important predator out of your home. Spiders are not out to get you and actually prefer to avoid humans. Bites from spiders are extremely rare. If you truly can’t stand that spider in your house, instead of smashing it, try to capture it and release it outside.
