@JChengWSJ Yes, China can both help and spoil India's current growth trajectory, so also USA. Kudos to Modi for walking on a very narrow ridge on top of G2 Geopolitical Mountain. @travelli @tanvi_madan @husainhaqqani @HappymonJacob @MohanCRaja @clary_co @Gen_RajShukla

@devinamehra That's precisely the reason India has to manage her 'China Problem' as long & as frequently as possible inspite of in-between backstabs, so as to concentrate in her overall growth path. China can both spoil and help India's growth. @PankajSaran11 @horror06

India wants to have access to Chinese money and technology. China wants India’s potentially enormous market. But neither is willing to end up on the losing side of that exchange.

But the trade has become more unbalanced than ever. India now buys roughly seven times as much from China as it sells there. That surge came even as relations between India and China went into a deep freeze.

India has spent years trying to become less dependent on its giant neighbor. Instead, it has been buying more. The total volume of goods exchanged between the two countries has nearly doubled over the past five years, to $151 billion a year.

Inside Indian factories, many of the big machines are Chinese, as are the electronic components and materials feeding them. An electric vehicle plant needs rare-earth magnets from China, while Indian drugmakers rely on Chinese pharmaceutical ingredients.

@Lingling_Wei She looked puzzled. “Very good. Believe whatever you want,” she said. “Christianity, Buddhism, Taoism. Any of them are fine.” As for what faith meant to her personally, she said, “You just need a reverent heart.” She returned to her prayers.

@Lingling_Wei I stopped a woman in her 80s near the incense urns. She had come for the celebration by train from Keelung, an hour north. Born and raised in Taiwan, she had been a practicing Buddhist for decades. I asked her about the religious life in Taiwan.

@Lingling_Wei An elderly woman in a surgical mask rocked slightly as she prayed, eyes closed. A man in a polo shirt bowed three times, checked his phone, then took three more bows. From somewhere in the temple’s inner hall, chanting rolled out over the crowd in waves.

@Lingling_Wei I arrived at Longshan Temple, in the old part of west Taipei, on a Saturday, unaware it was the anniversary of the enlightenment of Guanyin, the Buddhist goddess of mercy. The place was heaving with devotees, hands clasped at their chests and lips moving.

@Lingling_Wei On a recent trip to Taipei, I went in search of the city’s temples, fueled by a curiosity about what religious life looks like in a place that shares a common Chinese heritage with the mainland—but where faith has been left to flourish on its own.

@Lingling_Wei Even after the reforms of the 1980s, religion has remained something the state permits—and can always revoke. Ideology and nationalism have largely replaced it, fostering a culture of relentless competition that young Chinese call “involution.”

@Lingling_Wei For someone who grew up in China, the effect is quietly disorienting. Under Mao Zedong, faith was classified as feudal superstition—in the party’s view, no better than fortunetelling. Temples were shuttered, monks sent to labor camps.

@Lingling_Wei In Taiwan, temples are everywhere, wedged between shops and apartments, their incense wafting into busy intersections. Buddhist, Taoist and sometimes both, the temples on weekday mornings are packed with people burning offerings and whispering prayers.

@Lingling_Wei Standing in the courtyard of Longshan Temple in Taipei on a recent morning, I watched a small girl, a rubber duck on her shirt, gaze up at the building’s elaborate facade. The girl’s mother stood beside her, hands pressed together in prayer. Neither spoke.

“The DPP is gradually pivoting away from its well-established ‘nuclear-free homeland’ ideology to embrace nuclear energy. This pragmatic shift is driven by…AI-fueled electricity demand, …over-reliance on LNG, and…a stalled renewable transition.”
