China Files WTO Complaint Against India Over Tech Tariffs and Solar Subsidies
China has taken India to the World Trade Organization (WTO), arguing that India’s tariffs on tech products and subsidies for solar manufacturing break global trade rules.
India sees these steps as protective measures to build domestic capacity and reduce dependence on Chinese imports.
The bigger picture is strategic, not just legal. Beijing is using the WTO to push back against India’s industrial policy, especially in sectors where China has long enjoyed dominance (electronics, EVs, solar).
By challenging India repeatedly-first EVs, now tech and solar-China is signaling that it will contest any move that threatens its market control.
This is economic competition turning into legal warfare, with trade rules becoming a tool in a broader geopolitical and supply-chain rivalry between India and China.

🇫🇷 🇦🇪 France Advances Aircraft Carrier Project Amid Economic Concerns
President Macron has initiated construction of France's next-generation aircraft carrier, the Porte-avions de nouvelle génération (PA-NG). The vessel is slated to replace the Charles de Gaulle and enter service by 2038. Macron announced the decision this week while addressing French troops at a military base in Abu Dhabi.
Critics note the long timeline, suggesting that by 2038, Macron's role and even France's future may be uncertain. Macron has confirmed that France will begin construction on the new aircraft carrier soon.
