My View Point

It is hard to believe that a developed country like France is facing violent agitations. For more than one month the protesters are now on roads of Paris against steep rise in petrol price and  high  cost of living. The Protesters are now demanding low fuel rates, a comprehensive tax reform and increase in minimum wages.

After world war II, the Germany occupied France was completely demolished and needs to be rebuilt. All powerful nations helped France to rejuvenate and initiated various infrastructure projects across the nation. For the projects, Labour workers were brought from nort

It is because most of the dynamic activities happen in these states and Asian countries contribute a lot in various fields such as technology, space exploration and environment conservation etc. It is highly anticipated that a power shift will happen from the European and American nations to Asian and African Nations. To have a share from the upcoming Pie, all the nations are trying to make their ground to dominate in Asian and African Continent. As India and China are most promising nations and are growing like anything, all power centers are diverging and aligning themselves to the new flow of Power. You don’t believe it !!! Let me Explain... US has imposed Sanctions on Iran (no export/import allowed from Iran) and exemptions were given to 8

China has dominated the Asia's economy for more than 3 decades and it was only possible due to their economic reforms towards the mass production and favorable conditions towards exports. Now in today's world China is expending their geopolitical powers by initiating an ambitious project of Maritime Silk road project (aka One Belt One Road - OBOR). Under OBOR, China is extending debt (loans) to Asian and European nations for infrastructure development project. These Infrastructure projects are the win win for both the parties, as billions of dollars pumped in to an economic weaker nations and China gains influence over these nations by creating debt traps. India has objected and boycotted the OBOR, as India is cautious enough towards these debt trap, as Sri Lanka has fallen into.
