The trick for India—weaker of the two, militarily and economically—is to remain engaged with China on the basis of its own national interest and simultaneously build military and economic deterrence.'

This is the first time the Taliban has ever announced a ceasefire. But analysts expect some violence to continue. If there is a significant reduction in violence in the coming days, it would be seen as an important gesture from the Taliban and its backers in Rawalpindi.

In the last few days, the US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was on the phone with General Bajwa. He was reportedly discussing the peace process between Pakistan and Afghanistan.

4. Rajnath Singh's announcement on new battalions in Jammu and Kashmir serves little purpose except political posturing: 11.6.18 by Lt Gen Prakash Katoch https://www.firstpost.com/india/rajnath-singhs-announcement-on-new-battalions-in-jammu-and-kashmir-serves-little-purpose-except-political-posturing-4505909.html

SN – More battalions cost money. It seems MHA suffers from little budget constraints unlike the Indian Army.

4b. Plausible solution to J&K by Dr Satya pal Gupta 12.6.18 http://www.dailyexcelsior.com/plausible-solution-jk/

It needs to be realized that Jammu and Kashmir State is unnatural wedlock of three regions Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh. All the three regions have distinct identities: geographically, historically, culturally and linguistically; these are different from each other. And that the people of three regions have different social and political aspirations.

In the inclusion of Article-370 in Indian constitution and in accords of 1952, 1975 and 1986, the opinion of Kashmiri leadership was only taken into account and the wishes of people of Jammu and Ladakh regions were given a little consideration. Jammu region which constitutes almost 50 percent of the State's population and has an area 70 percent more than that of Kashmir Valley, (with hilly and difficult terrain), is under represented in the state legislature and in Lok Sabha. It has only 37 seats against 46 of Kashmir valley. Its representation in Lok Sabha is two against three from Kashmir Valley.

The share of Jammu in civil secretariat services is merely about 15 per cent and in over all Jammu and Kashmir services it is about 30 percent. Jammu region contributes about seventy percent revenue in the state exchequer where as only 30% funds are allocated for its development out of State exchequer. Jammu also faced discrimination in the allocation of grants from the Centre.

Kashmir, because of its political and administrative domination and hegemony, influences the thinking process of Muslim population of Poonch, Rajouri, Kishtwar, Doda and Ramban which have hilly terrain and have majority of Muslim population. As a result, the separatist tendencies have also started erupting in these districts. 

 As a result the strength of Kashmir based employees in the Government Departments located in Jammu region is increasing tremendously day by day.

It may also be mentioned that no effort is being made to deport Bangladeshis and Rohingyas whose population is estimated about 50,000 in Jammu province.t may also be mentioned that no effort is being made to deport Bangladeshis and Rohingyas whose population is estimated about 50,000 in Jammu province.

To solve the Jammu and Kashmir imbroglio the following is being submitted for your considerations:

 

SN – Jammu is the golden goose in J&K. The Kashmiris shall not rest till it becomes Muslim dominated. ANYONE who thinks otherwise should read Thoughts on Pakistan by Dr Ambedkar.

 

5. U.S. more provocative on the Taiwan question 12.6.18 OPED http://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1106548.shtml

'First, we can't be led by the nose by the US. We must build leverage to deal with the US and Taiwan, let both parties know they will pay the price no matter what provocations they make.
We must draw a red line for the US and Taiwan. Once crossed, a serious Taiwan Straits crisis will be triggered. For instance, visits by US warships to Taiwan or direct participation of American troops in Taiwan defense will disrupt the entire cross-Straits situation.

1. It is time for Indian Pharma co's to tap the Chinese market 11.6.18 http://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1106384.shtml

Even in China, there are frequent cases of smuggling and selling Indian-made drugs, and the enormous underground market for Indian medicine is a sign of the huge demand for cost-efficient treatments for cancer and other diseases in China. 

China's regulatory system is different from those in India and the US. Drugs are special products that affect human health, so China is moving very deliberately and cautiously. Despite the low cost and high quality of Indian drugs, there are still plenty of fake drugs from India.
