China-led RCEP takes off without India The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), a mega trade bloc comprising 15 countries led by China has come in limelight. About RCEP Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) is a free trade agreement (FTA) between - The 10 members of ASEAN Additional members of ASEAN +3 = China, Japan, South Korea Members with which ASEAN countries have FTA = Australia, New Zealand The group is expected to represent at least 30% of the global GDP and will emerge as the largest free trade agreement in the world. It includes more than 3 billion people, has a combined GDP of about $17 trillion, and accounts for about 40 per cent of world trade. India's reluctance India's ties with China in recent months have been disturbed by the military tension in eastern Ladakh along the LAC. In the meantime, India has also held a maritime exercise with Japan, Australia, and the United States for the "Quad" that was interpreted as an anti-China move. However, these moves did not influence Japanese and Australian plans regarding RCEP. Leverage for China Despite the pandemic, the RCEP is certainly leverage for China and shows the idea of decoupling from China is not a substantive issue in a regional sense. The agreement means a lot for China, as it will give it access to Japanese and South Korean markets in a big way, as the three countries have not yet agreed on their FTA. 🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁 Join >> @dailynewscom

ASSAM-MIZORAM BOUNDARY DISPUTE The recent violence and tension on the Assam-Mizoram border underline the differences the two States have had since 1972 when Mizoram was carved out of Assam as a Union Territory. What is the Dispute? Mizoram was carved out of Assam as a Union Territory in 1972. In 1987, it became a full-fledged state. The two states have sparred over where the border lies in the past, leading to the occasional violence. The disagreement stems from differing views on which border demarcation to follow. Mizoram's perception of the border is based on an 1875 notification that flows from the Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulation Act of 1873. The Act demarcated the Lushai Hills from the plains and valleys in the North East, restricting free travel between the two zones. The hills were deemed to be "excluded areas". Assam, for its part, goes by a 1933 notification by the state government that demarcated the Lushai Hills, as Mizoram was then known, from the province of Manipur. The Assamese problem Assam has had boundary problems with all its north-eastern neighbours, except Manipur and Tripura that had existed as separate entities. The primary reason is that the other States, a part of Assam during the British rule, have contested the boundaries since they became States, beginning with Nagaland in 1963. Assam has accepted several recommendations of border commissions set up by the Supreme Court, but other States have been sticking to "historical boundaries" that go back to the period before 1826. However, the border residents have to bear the brunt of the unrest unless an acceptable solution is arrived at. 🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁 Join >> @dailynewscom
