Trade, infrastructure likely to top agenda as Chinese leader visits India
– canadianbusiness.com
AHMEDABAD, India – Chinese President Xi Jinping landed in the Indian prime minister’s home state of Gujarat on Wednesday for a three-day visit expected to focus on India’s need to improve worn out infrastructure and reduce its trade deficit.
Xi was greeted on the tarmac by a throng of news photographers and state officials carrying fringed umbrellas to guard him from the sun in Gujarat’s main financial city of Ahmedabad.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to court Chinese business and seek investment to upgrade creaky infrastructure, banking on China’s track record at building highways, railways, and industrial zones. India is also eager to address the imbalance in their annual trade, which now totals around $65 billion but is skewed toward imports of Chinese electrical equipment and parts.
Modi and the Gujarat government are staging a lavish welcome for Xi, with billboards across Ahmedabad showing a smiling Modi and Xi. A banquet dinner was being held Wednesday night on the banks of the Sabarmati River in Ahmedabad…

Don’t fear the FIPA
– macleans.ca
Prime Minister Stephen Harper with China’s then-Premier Wen Jiabao in 2012, when the FIPA was signedThere is an enormous chasm between what a Foreign Investor Protection Agreement (FIPA) does and what excitable nationalists claim such agreements do. Unhappily for the standards of public discourse, excitable nationalists make good copy, so their wild imaginings, as with the Canada-China agreement ratified last week, are invariably quoted without examination. After all, who wants to read through the dull business of understanding why FIPAs exist and what they say?
I hope you do, dear reader, because that’s the ground I’m going to cover here.
First though, there have been any number of objections to FIPAs in general and to the Canada-China FIPA in particular, none of which I find convincing.
1. Any argument citing a loss of sovereignty. All international agreements involve ceding sovereignty. Wanting to retain the power to expropriate foreign-owned assets is probably the most petty and diminished notion of what sovereignty means…
