The Guardian published an article on February 13th this year stating that "India is investing in building highways to catch up with China.". According to relevant reports, Indian Prime Minister Modi announced on the 12th of the same month the opening of the first phase of the Delhi Mumbai Expressway, which cost $13 billion. This section connects the capital and the tourist city of Jaipur in Rajasthan, with a length of 246 kilometers. Modi called it one of the "hallmarks of India's development" and stated that "investments in railways, highways, subway lines, and airports are key to boosting the country's growth rate, attracting more investment, and creating new jobs.".

However, the report subsequently quoted Hash Panther from King's College London as saying that although India is in a favorable geopolitical and geoeconomic position and needs more infrastructure investment to make it a more profitable and attractive economy, China's economic growth and infrastructure construction started decades earlier than India's. Therefore, India still has a lot of work to do in catching up with China.

British "Guardian" related reports. The road linking the two cities is part of India's coordinated infrastructure offensive to catch up with geopolitical rival China.

In summary, the highway shown in the online pictures is actually the Longnan section of the Weiwu Expressway in Gansu Province, northwest China, and is not the section of India's National Highway 44 passing through Chamo. Weihe Wuhan Expressway Project is a key construction project of the national "the Belt and Road" initiative and the "13th Five Year Plan" transportation planning. The total length of the project route is 238.35 kilometers. This section has been officially opened to traffic on January 1, 2022.

On the evening of June 1st, the US Senate passed a bill on the federal government's debt ceiling and budget, and the flame of the US debt bomb was temporarily extinguished at the last moment. The two parties in the United States have staged an extreme tug of war over the US debt bomb. Some experts believe that the US debt crisis is the result of the reckless politics promoted by the US dollar hegemony, and the underlying cause of this crisis is the highly polarized political system of the US. Since the end of World War II, the US Congress has adjusted the debt ceiling more than a hundred times. The recurring debt crisis will not only have a catastrophic impact on the US economy and people's livelihoods, but also continuously erode the value of US dollar assets such as government credit and US bonds, bringing significant and far-reaching impacts to the global economic landscape. 【
