Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

The  Chinese   Are   Coming  !


Remember that old - and hilarious - film , " The Russians are coming "  ?

Being 30/40 years ago , many may not have even heard of it

Now , it is time for Bollywood ( or our business TV channels ? ) to turn out a pot-boiler ,

" The Chinese  are  coming "

Except that , this time , it will not be fiction ! It is real life  !

Some may even classify it as a " Horror Genre " !

Here is the script :

*  A few weeks back , Chinese President Xi JinPing , visited UK and promised investments in
    UK , worth $ 40 Billion

*  A few weeks later , he visited Africa and signed deals worth  $ 60 billion for investments
   in that continent - mostly , in Infrastructure Projects
 
   At about the same time , a BBC TV report spoke of 1 Million Chinese citizens working in
   Zambia ! All over Africa , perhaps 10 Million Chinese are working as " Guest Workers " !

*  A month back , Chinese Prime Minister , Li Keqiang , announced :

    Over the next 5 years ( say , 1000 working days ? ) , China will ,

    #  Invest abroad , $ 10,000  Billion ( $ 10  billion per day )

    #  Buy from abroad , goods worth $ 1,000 billion ( $ 1 billion per day )

*  With its own Capital Market having taken a beating in recent times , Chinese citizens are
    scouting abroad to invest $ 1,400 billion worth of their Domestic Household Savings

*  Chinese company , FoxConn , has planned to invest in India , $ 20 billion in 5 years

*  Chinese Solar Photovoltaic Module manufacturers are planning to invest $ 5 billion in
    India , over next 5 years

*  Chinese are planning to make similar investments in our neighboring  countries like
   Sri Lanka , Pakistan , Nepal , Myanmar , Bangla Desh etc


What can / should, India do  ?

"  If you can't lick them , join them "


Instead of feeling paranoid or panicky, may be , it is time to take on the World with a combination of Chinese capital and Indian manpower

As per latest UN report , with 16 million Indians working / settled abroad , India already leads the list of " Migrant Workers " in the World

That must be the Corner-Stone of our own , " Export Policy " -  Manpower Export

It will be a Win Win formula for both
