RCEP trap: Beijing desperately needs preferential access to markets such as India due to its tariff war with the US. This is a major driving force behind RCEP. Even without a Free Trade Agreement, Chinese goods swamp Indian markets.

Deals with Thailand, Bangladesh show China's rise as warship exporter.
The largest user of Chinese weapon systems in India's neighbourhood has

GM Mosquito project has gone wrong, failed experiment may have strengthened wild bugs. Not only did numbers bounce back up

had retained genes from the engineered mosquitoes.
