How Chinese BRI is loosing its charm?

[1] One of the reasons the BRI’s charms have dimmed is China’s own slowing economy and Beijing’s unwillingness to be as generous with its loans in the second half of the decade, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic.

[2] Another is the discomfort in many countries over the terms for the loans, which involve hiring Chinese companies and engaging Chinese workers, while often demanding heavy collateral, as Sri Lanka found out after losing control of the Hambantota port.

[3] The U.S.’s heavy lobbying against the BRI has also had some effect: Italy’s Giorgia Melloni announced in December 2023 that it would not renew the BRI MoU.

[4] The Brazilian Foreign Adviser’s statement follows a visit by U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai who asked Brazil to think carefully through an “objective lens” before signing on to the BRI. The remarks raised a protest from the Chinese Embassy in Brasilia which called them “disrespectful” of Brazil’s sovereign right to choose its partners.

Why has India accused Canada of acting as a safe haven for Khalistani sympathisers?

[1] Safe haven for Khalistan extremists: India’s long-held complaint has been that Canada acts as a safe haven for Khalistani separatists/extremists.

[2] Lack of support against extremism: Its biggest grouse has been Canada’s failure in preventing the 1985 Air India bombing (perpetrated by Canada-based Khalistani extremists) and the lack of support in subsequent investigations. The bombing killed 329 people (including children), the biggest airline terrorist act before 9/11.

[3] Political clout: Sikhs constitute only 2% of Canada’s population but their political clout is far disproportionate because of geographic concentration. At one point, there were four Sikh ministers in the Trudeau cabinet. Most of the Sikh MPs are from Trudeau’s Liberal Party.

[4] Passive support to extremism: Mr. Trudeau and other party leaders attending Sikh community festivals which featured Khalistan flags and the glorification of Talwinder Parmar, the Air India bombing mastermind; and also drawing support from known Khalistani sympathisers.

[5] Insecurity in next election: In surveys, 54% of Sikhs in Canada intend to vote for the Conservative Party and 21% for Trudeau’s party in the next elections.
