India imposes anti-dumping duties on three Chinese products

India on Thursday imposed anti-dumping duties on three Chinese products including hydraulic rock breaker with an aim to protect domestic players from cheap imports. These duties were imposed following a recommendation by the commerce ministry's directorate general of trade remedies (DGTR), which has concluded in its probe that dumping of these goods are impacting domestic industry. The DGTR held investigations after complaints were filed by domestic players on the dumping of these goods. The department of revenue has notified these duties in three separate notifications. On hydraulic rock breakers, the duty ranged between 4.55 per cent and 162.5 per cent of CIF (cost, insurance, freight) value in US dollars. The duty was also imposed on these goods coming from Korea. These breakers are used in the construction and mining industry for carrying out demolition, excavation, mining and boulder breaking activities. "The anti-dumping duty imposed (on these breakers) ...shall be effectiv

Reforms in armed forces necessary to maintain supremacy during wars: Murmu

Nearly 70 per cent of the total procurement of defence forces was sourced from domestic firms last year, President Droupadi Murmu said on Thursday, outlining the government's focus to boost production of critical military hardware within India. In an address to a joint sitting of Parliament, Murmu said modernisation of the armed forces is essential for a strong India and that reforms in the military should be a continuous process to ensure that it maintains "supremacy" during wars. Listing steps to boost domestic defence production, she said the reforms undertaken in the sector have resulted in India now manufacturing defence equipment worth more than Rs one lakh crore. The president said the BrahMos missile deal with the Philippines has strengthened India's standing in the defence export sector. "Modernisation of our armed forces is essential for a strong India. Reforms in our armed forces should be a continuous process so that our forces maintain their supremacy during wars," sh

US ambassador calls China's tech support for Russia during war a 'mistake'

China's support for Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine through the provision of technology for missiles and other weaponry is a major mistake, US Ambassador to Beijing Nicholas Burns said Wednesday. In a speech in the Chinese financial hub of Shanghai, Burns also said Russia's invasion, now in its third year, had become an existential crisis in Europe. We think it's a major mistake to allow Chinese companies, by the thousands, to be sending so many components, technology components, microprocessors (and) nitrocellulose to Russia to reinforce and strengthen the defense industrial base of the Russian Federation for this brutal war, Burns said. China is not neutral, but has effectively sided with Russia in this war, the ambassador said, adding that the decision directly contradicted China's longstanding insistence on sovereignty and territorial integrity. China insists it does not provide direct military aid to Russia but has maintained strong trade ties throughout the conflict,
