Ex-Goldman economist Jim O'Neill says China's economy 'well on the way' to recover from coronavirus

SINGAPORE — China is well on its way to recovering from a coronavirus pandemic-led economic crisis and will continue to be the most important marginal driver of global GDP, British economist Jim O'Neill told CNBC.

O'Neill, former chief economist at Goldman Sachs, pointed to the latest Chinese consumer spending data as a sign of China's accelerating recovery. Retail sales for August in the world's second-largest economy rose 0.5% from a year ago, the first positive report for 2020 so far.


"I suspect Chinese GDP growth could actually end 2020 as net positive still," O'Neill told CNBC in an interview. "By end 2021, Chinese GDP growth will have possibly even made up for, not only the losses, but the loss in the trend also."
China’s export machine comes roaring back to life
Big economies may be struggling but their appetite for Chinese electronics is growing


China’s export machine was under pressure from all directions last year. A trade war with the US was weighing on demand and competition from other manufacturing hubs was heating up.

Fast-forward to mid-2020 and, thanks largely to a pandemic that originated within its borders, China’s dominance of global exports has surpassed levels seen in any other year.

The same coronavirus that hammered global trade has increased the appetite for goods made in China, such as electronics products and medical equipment. That boom in exports is supporting the country’s early recovery as other big economies flounder, raising the question of whether China’s recent trade advantage will outlive the pandemic.

Data from Oxford Economics and Haver Analytics show that while overall volumes have fallen, China’s share of global exports compared with other large exporters leapt to more than 18 per cent in April, before falling back slightly to 15.9 per cent in July.

“It is too early to write off China’s role in global supply chains,” said Louis Kuijs from Oxford Economics, who pointed to the “fundamental competitiveness” of Asian economies.

He added that the market share effect was in part temporary but suggested that “there will be some permanent shift . . . and that should benefit certain countries".

Partly a function of declining activity elsewhere, China’s recent success is also a result of a wider resilience of exports in east Asia, fuelled by a shift in global demand towards products suited to a world working from home.

Taiwan’s exports, the majority of which are electronics components and IT and communications products, reached their highest ever monthly level in August. In South Korea, exports of information and communications technology products rose year on year in each of the past three months after a sharp fall in April.

During the Kargil war, the US had war gamed all possible scenarios and told Pakistan they had no hope of winning. Think US and India would have war gamed the Chinese moves and India would not have made its moves unless both US and India were sure that the outcome would not be bad for India.

Ya'll Nibbiars Chinese woman and her Nepalese partner disposed a large quantity of electronic equipment some months back. China's embassy in India is completely silent on the arrest of a Chinese woman for involvement in espionage in India.

Wolfpack.

The Pralay is another SRBM which has been specially designed as a counter to the Chinese. Its present status remains unclear.
Actually , Pralay may not be a ballistic missile as we understand Ballistic missile in traditional sense. It is a shaped trajectory (As described by Avinash Chandra for Shaurya) missile similar to Shurya with specific tailored made changes.

This guy says we're getting at least 2500 Meteors(presumably by 2021). That is an average of 69 per Rafale. N he's not known to fool around.
Do they even have such production capability plus 2500 means 5.5 - 6 bn around.

May be over the period we will acquire around 1000 of those.. but we need platforms first to carry them.
