China ready to welcome more Indian firms into its market, says envoy

China is ready to welcome more Indian companies to enter its market, Chinese ambassador Xu Feihong said on Thursday while hoping that a "sound" business environment will be provided to Chinese firms in India. In an address at an event, Xu said China is looking at India to take "positive measures" for resuming direct flights and visas for Chinese citizens. The Chinese envoy's remarks came amid the dragging border row in eastern Ladakh. India has been maintaining that its ties with China cannot be normal unless there is peace in the border areas.

China imposes sanctions on US companies selling weapons to Taiwan

China on Wednesday announced sanctions on American companies selling arms to the self-ruled island of Taiwan, which Beijing claims as its own territory and threatens to annex by force. Chinese state media made the announcement, citing the Foreign Ministry, but gave no details on the companies involved. Taiwan is awaiting deliveries of F-16 fighter jets, Abrams tanks and a range of missiles from the US.

Along with buying weapons from the US, Taiwan has also been reviving its domestic arms industry.
