Ambassador Xu Feihong says silence only emboldens the 'US bully'

- JAYANTH JACOB @New Delhi

In a striking show of solidarity, Chinese Ambassador to India Xu Feihong on Thursday condemned the United States' recent tariff hike on Indian goods, calling it "bullying" and pledging that China "will firmly stand with India" against what he described as unfair trade practices. Speaking in New Delhi, Xu said Beijing "fully opposes" the US move, noting that tariffs on Indian goods could soar to 50% if Washington follows through on its 25% penalty for importing Russian oil and further escalation could still be on the table.

LOW INFLATION OPTICS AND COST OF LIVING POLITICS

THIS Wednesday, India’s ministry of statistics informed that consumer price inflation in October fell to 0.25 percent—the lowest since January 2012. Indeed, food inflation for the month dropped to -5.02 percent. The price fall is magnified by the base effect—for instance, food inflation in October 2024 was a searing 9.7 percent, distorting the October 2025 reference. For folks at home, however, claims of lower inflation seem, in the words of H G Wells, as absurd as saying solid earth was liquid.
