Public sentiment indicates significant skepticism and concern regarding the implications of the trade relationship, with many commenters questioning the economic benefits and fearing job losses due to dependence on foreign markets. There is also a desire for clearer information and educational content on the topic.

If this is so good he'd be talking about it during the election lol. Trade only grew 2.5x over 20 years with sg being the largest investor? Fk that. 

I don't even mind having fta or investing into India. But fta shouldn't have any clauses that facilitate the flow of workers.

Means what? Our money goes to them while they provide cheap labour? Which part of the deal benefits us?

India got semi conductor, don't have what. It's all in Penang, SG and Taiwan. What advance manufacturing. People country poor, and you wonder why? A country's success is very much linked to the complicity and consensus of the population. Bring that population in, you bring India's complicity and consensus. Look at the lift floor in Bayshore Park, look at the pool in Melville Park, look at the Lobby in The Makena, walk into Changi Business Park, Dear PAP this is what you brought.

It's a really good deal if you think about it. They get millions and we get flooded with more of them and they bring along amazing culture like the caste system. What is there to complain about?

People have predicted India’s rise as an economic powerhouse for decades. They have always disappointed investors.

Turns out what was necessary was a populist government and the collapse of American hegemony.

Guidelines which will help in getting the right answers:
* G1: Please state a very specific question or topic in your posts title e.g M28, what are the prospects of a PhD education? **Posts about relationships need age and gender included.** Posts must have a question in the title or they will be removed. Don’t ask what we think of your chart, or what is interesting, or anything general or vague or asking to ask. **Do not ask for a general reading, only specific questions.** no one word posts. posting memes or off topic content will result in a ban. If your reddit karma is too low your post may not appear in the subreddit, try raising your karma before making a modmail.
* G2: Banned topics: nsfw topics, questions about past lives, fame, sexuality, longevity, exam results, gambling, depression, mental illnesses, death or abuse. Do not ask for Synastry(includes divorce) since they are too time consuming and this is not a matrimonial forum. Please be wary of people asking for DMs as many are scams.
* G3: For drawing charts use the pinned links in the sticky post or sidebar rule 4. Jhora screenshots will be preferred. Do not post tropical charts or western circular charts. Random site charts can have errors, missing information or issues of readability. **All charts should have the planet degree positions displayed on the chart.** Post full charts, not lists of placements.
* G4: Don't use incorrect terminology such as houses in vargas. e.g - a house in vedic astrology spans 30 degrees in the D1 chart and there are 12 houses, each house in turn contains 9 divisions spanning 3 degrees and 20 mins so we get 12 x 9 = 108 such divisions which are called navamsas. The navamsa chart shows this collection of 108 navamsas and not 12 houses. So statements such as the following are **incorrect** e.g my 7th house in my navamsa chart has venus in it. **A 30 degree portion cannot be inside a 3 degree portion**. Your post will be removed for this.
* G5: general question about placements or yourself or hypothetical stuff require your chart too. Please don't post charts on behalf of other people like your exes or crushes etc. Don't make posts asking for chart reader recommendations or service reviews.
* G6: If your post does not meet these conditions, please delete it and repost. Otherwise it may be removed. [The subreddit rules are here.](https://www.reddit.com/r/vedicastrology/about/rules)

Good thinking but I would like to show a better and proven house combinations. For stock market trading long term investment you would have to have 6/8/12th house really strong along with real strong 6/8/12th lords plus a real strong Lagna lord and friendly dashas. This is because stock market even lottery’s are money gained from others giving you the money and 6th house is other peoples money. Now how do you determine a strong house or lord. Jupiter Venus or full moon association makes a planet or house strong. Saturn mars Rahu weakens a planet or house. Next you look at other strengths (these strengths make impact only if Jupiter Venus full moon associate with these house and or lords) like house strength including exalted mool Trikona own house then directional strength. How much he or she earns depends on how strong the Lagna lord or Lagna is? When he or she will earn is determined by dashas? Next after all this you also have to consider 2/9/11 house lords houses associations. The big money people have the strongest 2/9/11 associations. Especially during 2/9/11th dashas and especially when 2/9/11 makes good contacts. One of the planets that you need is Mercury too. Mercury being right opposite to a full moon aspected by Jupiter or conjunction with Venus. Ofcourse Jupiter Venus strength is real important Jupiter to earn money Venus to spend. You can keep going through the rabbit hole so many aspects of a chart to be seen. Anywhere you have Rahu Saturn mars that brings down the level down.

Post Title: Stock market confirmed tech sector crisis is real. What next?

Author: deepeshdeomurari

Post Body: Indian IT index dropped 20% in comparison to NiFTY in YTD, showcasing serious concern going into tech. Recently quarterly result was not encouraging. 

Its not because of AI its because of tech saturation. As new investment is not coming, due to war situation. US tax hike impact is yet to come. The spiral effect of tech slowdown will be

1. Subdued fresher hiring will continue
2. Realestate depending on tech will collapse
3. 15+ workex will see forceful retirement
4.  Layoffs averaging 1 Lakh an year will continue. 
5. Unemployment problem will rise.
6. US economy will slowdown - USD-INR gap will reduce putting additional pressure on margin 

Ofcourse it can be mitigated if government intervened.

So if you are in tech, remember AI will be commodity skill like cloud. You need to learn it. I am continuously giving training in my company as I strongly believe everyone will ask Xyz + AI.
1-5 year experienced, work on more commitment, discipline you will be rare as there were 60% less hiring for freshers in last 4 years. So you can make fortune.
Moving to onsite is no brainer. Making quick money get into retirement corpus is important. 10 years in India vs one year in US like miser like six sharing indicates same saving.

For freshers, learn python, AI, data science. Checkin your code on git, showcasw that in resume. Your academic teaching is outdated already. 

Those who lost job. Get reference and apply at day of job launch. Requirement are fulfilled in a, day. All hiring in niche or replacement hiring. Also make detailed resume. If you need any help put in. Comments.

If you want to get this comment removed for any reason such as confidentiality or PII - please contact the mods through modmail.

What is your recommendation for people with 3-5 years work ex in IT? As per your analysis and future prediction.

MasalaMonk

I am no expert but probably the AI hype train having trickle down effect from the US to India. Hiring is definitely lower everywhere.
I will need a crystal ball to to tell you if the hype is going to pay dividends or if the overall tech sentiment will go back to “near normal”. But for now all you can do is accept AI as part of your job and use to make yourself more effective and efficient.

fatty__boi

Indian IT “giants” are finally going to face the consequences of decades spent as sweatshops with zero thought to innovation or hiring truly competent talent. 

Class of talent good enough to get hired by GCCs will flourish, people that have spent decades showing their face at WITCH will suffer.

By 2030 there will be no jobs globally. 

This is a new world with new rules. Anything and everything which you knew will be gone. 

Marriage will be gone 
No more kids 
No more air travel by 2030 
Cash will be gone 
Digital ID 

Those degrees will be worthless. 

All of this is not happening all of a sudden. It's all part of a plan designed by the people who run the world.

\&gt; So then why are the Chinese so afraid of India winning?

Because "India winning" would be a big loss for China. They don't want a potential great power at their border.

Propping up Pakistan is a small price to pay to keep India busy. Anything other benefit, like Chinese weapons getting battle tested against India is a small bonus.

Balancing, doesn’t cost much, port access. Also helps with civilisational terms to have a major islamic country to be dependent on it

Strong_Remove_2976

\-The territorial disputes with India, is too large. Arunachal Pradesh is larger then Nepal.  
\-India host the Dalai Lama which is an active attempt to illegitimate China control over Tibet.  
\-China will have to treat India as an equal partner, which mean less leverage over India  
\-India have the potential to be a near peer power against China, which limit China's influence in the long term  
\-Pakistan keep the extreme Islamic movement in check, which prevent its spread to Xinjiang province

There's one part nobody has said yet. India destabilises China through Tibet. Pakistan could destabilise China through the Uyghurs.

The Tibetans are already completely controlled. The Uyghurs though? China is doing a LOT to not have an Islamist problem in their country. Alienating Pakistan (and also, notably, Afghanistan), has much more threat to the domestic security of China than alienating India.

agentmilton69

China and Indias issues go beyond than just Pakistan. So from China’s perspective supporting Pakistan is a pretty small investment for the payoff it does at turning Indias attention towards them.

Also geographically China’s relations with Pakistan allows them to ship and transport goods through Pakistan instead of bringing them the long way which would be much more costly and expensive.

Multicultural_Potato

Didn't read but China likes MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction). Pakistan hold India in check, which is a competitor.

Bannedwith1milKarma

IceShaver

Because China as it happens is rising, or some claim has risen to overthrow the US as the leader of the global world, but As per the 2010 policy document and sec Hillary Clinton's statement, the US is looking to pivot its focus to Asia and counter the threat of rising China and in all this equation India stands as the perfect contender to the Chinese rise hence it's being backed by the US as the opposing regional player to compete with China. This invalidates the Chinese-indian friendship. As for the question of ditching pak China is too heavily invested there to pull out at this stage, plus the India-Pak bickering plays to china's benefit.

MarcusAurelius-inc

I don’t necessarily disagree with you on anything specific.

“… if China resolved the border issues with India, there would be 0 reason why India and China couldn’t be strategic partners.”

You’ve got a major assumption here that’s holding everything up. So I’d really dive deep into why the “border issues” aren’t easily resolved.

SweatyTax4669

Well, beyond IR, Chinese people prefer Pakistani values to Indian ones. Most Chinese people find the caste system fairly troubling. Going back to the times of the Silk Road, certain religions/cultures like Buddhism, Islam, Zoroastrianism, Nestorian Christianity and so on always seemed more palatable to Chinese people. The people find the lack of at least nominal egalitarianism in India objectionable if not contemptible. The hostility isn't necessarily rooted in feeling threatened by India.

feixiangtaikong

Because India is not willing to make concessions and wats all the land they claimed. Obviously China will not accept that so the LAC will never be formalized.

DungeonDefense

The border dispute between China and India structures the alliance system in the region, not so differently to the Alsace-Lorraine question a century ago.  Plus India is too big to be in a state of dependence on China like Pakistan is

Significant-Luck9987

&gt; India’s economy is no where near China’s. The manufacturing capability of India is not comparable with China’s.

You got it, this is the reason why India doesn’t want to ally with China. In any alliance, India would be the junior partner, and India doesn’t want that. India doesn’t want to just change sending their students from the US to China, they want their students to stay in India. 

This is why their traditional allies with Russia, since Russia is unable to dominate India. It isn’t just the territorial dispute (although that is very significant). China (in Tibet) (and Chinese influenced Nepal) also controls the sources of a lot of very important rivers. India does not want to be dependent on Chinese goodwill of an ally for that.

Particular-Star-504

I think you’re pretty off the mark on them mending their relationship, Pakistan and Bangladesh both are opposed to India and supported by China. Additionally, there is far more to lose in regional terms from an India that’s given free reign as compared to Pakistan and Bangladesh. India and China are competitors, it’s like asking why does America support Ukraine over Russia.

BigBucketsBigGuap

Indian AI masters/graduate students going to China? Dxmn, maybe it's better for a bad relationship.

Misaka10782

China doesn’t “ditch” any other country because China doesn’t form formal alliances with any other country.  Even its supposed friendship with the DPRK is wrapped in sanctions.

When India stops acting like a diplomatic weathervane in a hurricane, China will gladly cooperate with India.  Just don’t expect it to change its relationship with Pakistan.

nagidon

Regional power rivalry between India &amp; China.

DavidMeridian

China prefers Pakistan

1. Larger territorial disputes with India
2. Pakistan much better connected to what China desperately needs, energy. Most importantly a more secure, non maritime route of it.

China currently imports most of its oil needs via maritime means. This leaves them particularly vulnerable to disruption in case hostilities erupt. One of these chokepoints is the Straight of Malacca. A pipeline through Pakistan will both provide a bypass of that Straight, and in the future perhaps extend those lines into Iran......should the next notable chokepoint at Hormuz become contested.

Considering the US has firm de facto control over Hormuz, you might be able to see why that pipeline to limit maritime oil dependence has become somewhat important to China.

Xezshibole

If China did ditch Pakistan, then what? Would India suddenly see China as an ally and partner and allow unfettered exchange and mutual support? China would still be the more powerful country and will still have its national interests. Could India live with accomodating these? If not, then that's your answer.

Why did China invade India after Nehru gave the CCP and Mao credibility at the UN post civil war?

Bitter_Effective_888

China invaded India and India lost the war. I don't think they'll forget that so easily. Basically they don't/can't trust each other.

Secret_Wrangler4598

Free_Juggernaut8292

Not a chance - China gave the Islamists the bomb, for crying out loud.  

They believe in counterbalancing India that much.

resuwreckoning

One reason is that Pakistan will condemn Swedes burning Korans, but when it comes to the Uighur issue, they have nothing to say. Jonathan Swan had a tragically hilarious interview on this topic with Imran Khan: [Video link](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlHPEgE3fjk) (3 min.)

&gt;**Swan**: "*Prime minister, why are you so outspoken about Islamophobia in Europe and the United States, but totally silent about the genocide of Muslims in western China?... The evidence is overwhelming...*"

&gt;**Khan**: "*...Whatever issues we have with the Chinese, we speak to them behind closed doors. China has been... one of the greatest friends to us.... We respect the way they are, and whatever issues we have, we speak behind closed doors*."

I'm hard-pressed to think of a more blatant public example of double standards and hypocrisy.

More vulnerable than we would like to admit

sharedevaaste

Sushant Singh, writing for USIP, argues that India’s increasing reliance on Chinese imports across critical sectors like electronics, pharmaceuticals, solar power, and electric vehicles exposes it to serious economic vulnerabilities that Beijing could exploit for coercive leverage. Despite New Delhi’s aggressive security posture following deadly border clashes and rising two-front war concerns involving Pakistan, bilateral trade has surged, with China remaining India’s top trading partner and holding a massive trade surplus. Singh highlights how China could disrupt supply chains or restrict exports to inflict significant harm, as seen with past restrictions on active pharmaceutical ingredients and rare earth minerals. Although Chinese coercion has been ineffective against some Western nations, India’s dependency is far deeper and more strategically compromising, potentially weakening U.S.-led Indo-Pacific initiatives that rely on India as a counterbalance to China. He stresses that India must not only diversify imports and tighten scrutiny on Chinese investments but also partner with the United States to secure alternative supply chains, attract capital and technology, and shield its economy from geopolitical manipulation.

The only way to not be in this situation would be to manufacture ourselves or stop this policy of chest thumping about competing versus CN and collaborate with them.

There is no way of replacing CN imports with alternatives without becoming a manufacturing powerhouse. We're a poor country, we cannot afford killing our economy to serve an ideal.

fcuk_the_king

Try boycotting Chinese goods as a litmus test

OmegaKitty1

I think, it's present but there are red lines which shouldn't be crossed. 

China has its own problem to deal with, it's fertility rates are decreasing, there is 1 child policy so population is decreasing overall, there is less youth and high no. of older people i.e more usless population..

Coastal areas are 12 nautical miles away from china. China has border issues with 14 countries, and Japan, korea, India and others who surround china are capable countries. 

So, China is indeed a economic superpower- but it is not a political superpower or military superpower. 

China lacks enough to actively coerce India. Although some coersion might be present. But India might also coerce China, albeit in other dimensions, just not economically.
