With population decline, 340% debt-to-GDP, and weak productivity, Beijing is propping up growth by dumping cheap exports globally.

The CCP model has collapsed spectacularly.

Laurus Labs In Focus – Big Fall In Export Data

Export data falls 47% YoY to $36 million in February 2026

W.e.f. today, the US has lifted sanctions on Russian oil.

India had already been proactive on this front — nearly half of our crude oil imports now come from Russia, ensuring energy security.

On the gas front, India has boosted domestic production and secured long-term supply arrangements with Canada, the US, and Norway.

Meanwhile, PM Modi spoke with Iran’s President yesterday. While discussions are ongoing, it’s notable that two Indian ships successfully passed through the Strait of Hormuz two days ago (per NDTV & Reuters).

As US Colonel Douglas Macgregor recently remarked:

“The only leader who maintains good relations with both Israel and Iran is Narendra Modi. India is growing in power & influence”
