Why is it the high time that whole world should boycott Chinese products?

After the outbreak of COVID-19, entire world faced to a big downfall of the economy. China has been the hub of manufacturing for many of the world leading companies. It exports total worth of  $224,069,819,000 phones, systems and devices including smartphones, around  $148,463,426,000 of computers and optical readers and many more. China is the top exporter in the world, it exported around 2499.09 billion dollars worth of products in 2019 itself. But why we need to boycott the Chinese products? China whose economy majorly relies on its export of goods, actually uses its money to invest in small countries such that at the end, country becomes so much in debt that they have no choice but allow china to use their land for military bases. 

China is the world’s major global lender, with its outstanding claims now is more than 5% of the global GDP.  Infact, almost all of the lending comes from the government and state owned entities. China has lent $1.5 trillion in direct loans and trade credits surpassing even World bank, IMF and all OECD creditor government combined. 

Many of the countries like  Djibouti, Tonga, Maldives, the Republic of the Congo, Kyrgyzstan, Cambodia, Niger, Laos, Zambia, Samoa, Vanuatu, and Mongolia, owe debt of atleast 20% of their nominal GDP to china.

Having debt of such a huge amount, allows china to have a leverage over these countries to establish their military bases in these countries. Allowing them to have ability to threaten almost any country in the world. For example, a country named srilanka, had to give its one of the port to china for the operations because of huge debt, which allows them to have a better strategic position over india in the case of war or even for business. Similarly, maldives and many other countries allow china to have their military bases to threaten almost any country in the world. 

Now, if you look back, it all started by china lending money to developing or under developed country, and how do they get this money? We give it to them by using their products, by purchasing their products. The question is how to get rid of the chinese products when it is too deep in the market. 

Start with all the Softwares, get rid of all the mobile apps, like tiktok, PUBG etc, to stop the money flow via softwares, try to find alternatives which is not chinese. Then try to buy products which are not china made, even though its more expensive, try products manufactured of build in your own country. Stop using softwares from today and replace all the hardwares in the next couple of years. 

We need to understand the seriousness, governments can not do much as we are the buyers, and countries have many restrictions to stop import of products from a single country. Its on us to decide what we should buy, and naturally we tend to buy something we get at a cheaper price, without understanding how it will affect our country and benefit othes..

Black themselves are responsible for the racism they face. Lets see some numbers.

Recent Death of George Floyd in Minnesota as a result of police brutality has raised many voices against racism and has incited the unrest across all cities in the USA. In spite of America being a developed country the question is why USA has not been able to eliminate racism. Who is responsible for such acts of racism against blacks?

As per the data provided by https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/US/PST045219 as of July 1, 2019 united states has a total population of 328,239,523. Out of this there are about 13.4 % i.e, 43,984,096  are blacks or African Americans and white alone are 76.5% which is 251,103,235. Yes indeed African american are minority in the country. 

America has a population growth rate of 0.6% per year(As per the search resulted on google) and if we assume that population of all race and ethnicity grew uniformly. In 2018, There should be a population of 43,720,191. 

Now lets have a look at the violent crime rate, out of all the violent crime cases 43% of the offenders are just black or African Americans (source: https://crime-data-explorer.fr.cloud.gov/explorer/national/united-states/crime). However, black or African Americans are victim for around 33% which is a huge number but guess what around 60% of time white are the victim race. 

Now if you put it all together, in-spite of being minority and just being 13.4% of the population, African Americans have 43% of the violent crime rate and in-spite of being 76.5% of the total population white Americans are victim in 60% of violent crime cases.

Now lets have a look at the most recent incident, after the unfortunate death of George Floyd, African Americans had a very good stage to put their point, but guess what they ruined a very good chance of to protest against the racism they face by looting the stores and burning down businesses. Do you think such acts will eliminate the racism? no it will dig it even deeper.

We do not believe that all whites are good or all blacks have criminal mentality. But numbers speak themselves. May be incidents like that has lead to the racism against African American population of united states. We condemn racism of any sort or a violence of any sort.

Why just black lives? Why not every life matters. Has world reached to the pinnacle of hypocrisy.

On May 25th 2020, George Perry Floyd an African-American man died as a white American Minneapolis police officer  Derek Chauvin kept his knee on the right side of Floyd's neck for approx nine minutes. This sad incident incited a movement in the whole america with trending hashtag of #BlackLivesMatter. 

Has human or at-least american reached to the pinnacle of hypocrisy? Why just black lives, why not just every life matters? Most of the rioters on the streets,of america or most of the people registering their protest on the social media with blackout day or with hashtag #blacklivesmatter, almost everyone might be the non vegetarian might have ate some sort of meat, either chicken, beef, fish or any other type of meat. Hence, responsible for some living being’s life. So, the question is why just black lives, why not every life matters? Has anyone who is protesting for the death of george floyd’s death has protested for the lives they have taken in the form of their meal? Probably not, will they stop eating meat and take more lives after this? unlikely, so how one can protest against someone who himself or herself is not willing to commit that they won’t take any living being’s life. If this is not hypocrisy then what is?

There is no doubt that this incident was shameful not only for america but for the whole world and this article is not to support Derek Chauvin, he should get most strict punishment possible. There shouldn’t be any racism based on color, beliefs, race etc. Every human is equal, but does this planet just belong to human? Why we have blind eye towards other creatures living on this planet? The way george floyd died, similarly 9 billion chickens and about 72 billions animals are killed just for the flavor of human’s tongue. 

So the question is why just black lives? why not every life matters? Everyone who is registering their protest including me are they hypocrite? or will they quit eating non-veg food? Think yourself.

The misinformation I'm seeing about Kashmir is beyond ridiculous

"I'm worried about genocide" or "I support the Kashmiri people's right to self determination" are in no way good reasons to claim that:

Kashmir was effectively an independent state up until now

There has been peace in Kashmir up until now

India has recently occupied Kashmir

India has occupied all of the Jammu and Kashmir region

The Indian army is currently carrying out genocide and ethnic cleansing in Kashmir

The Indian government officially plan to replace the Muslim majority in Kashmir with a Hindu majority

Most Kashmiris are happy with Article 370 being repealed

I've seen all of these claims on social media, and they are all completely false.

Is congress in position to give a lecture on GDP to MODI govt?

We live in an era of technology where information (Especially Negative information) travels faster than light. GDP growth rate of India have been a hot topic for media houses and Indian people around the world. People, especially congress is busy in targeting Modi government on GDP growth rate, but the question is are they really in a position to do that? How did the GDP graph look like in their tenure? Let's dig deeper into how it looked like then. Also, Is it a failure of Modi govt? How we as a nation can help?

As per Wikipedia, India's GDP growth rate for the first quarter of financial year 2019-20 is 5%. This is a fall from 8.17, 7.16 and 6.92 in the years 2016, 2017 and 2018. This is the lowest GDP growth rate India have seen under Modi govt. This is definitely alarming as it has been declining since last 3 years, the current GDP growth rate of India looks similar to India's GDP in 2011 and 2012. It looks like it is progressing towards least in the decade, however, we still can not call it as yeal 2019 is still in progress.

Is it a failure of Modi government?

Lower GDP growth rate is always the government’s responsibility at the end, but we should think twice before calling it a failure of Modi government. From the year 1961 to 2018, India has seen so many fluctuations in GDP rate. In fact, we have seen GDP in negative numbers in the years 1965, 1972 and 1979. In the last 58 years, it was first time between 2012 to 2016 when GDP continuously went up for 4 years. It was Modi government when GDP went up for 3 years straight in 2014, 2015 and 2016. Also, the growth in 2013 and 2014 was also an impact of Modi wave across India. 

India’s GDP has seen many steep falls before. Following are some examples, 

1. Fall to 5.2 in 2011 from 8.49 in 2010.

2. Fall to 3.08 in 2008 from 7.66 in 2007.

3. Fall to 3.84 in 2000 from 8.84 in 1999.

4. Fall to -5.23 in 1979 from 5.71 in 1978.

Above are just a few examples, India has faced. We have more instances like this than we can even remember. Looking at the past trends, one can not help but notice that till now Modi government is able to successfully avoid a steep fall in GDP which none other prime ministers in india have able to. 

Also, history tells that, India faces a steep fall in GDP in every 8-10 years. As we saw in 2008 (3.087), 2000 (3.84), 1991(1.05), 1982(3.47) and so on. As per the trend, India should faced a fall in between 2016 to 2018. So, far the Modi government have been able to avoid a steep fall, but it has been a gradual decline. 

So, is it a failure of Modi government? It depends on how you define failure. If we look at past trends, this government has performed better than predecessors. This government has broken previous trends in terms of GDP growth rate over the years and falls. Both of these looks more on the governments' favor. I wouldn’t call it a failure yet unless it goes below 4.5 in coming years. 

How we as a nation can help?

There are many factors which affect the GDP. past trends have shown that whenever we have lost our faith in government, whenever there has been a negative wave, we have faced a huge fall. whether it be in 1997, 2000, 2002 or 2008. We should avoid all sort of rumors, try to contribute what best we can for the nation and trust the government.
