China on Monday officially released the 2023 edition of its so-called standard map. The map incorporates its claims over Arunachal Pradesh the Aksai Chin region, Taiwan and the disputed South China Sea. India maintains that the state of Arunachal Pradesh has always been and will always be an integral part of the country. China's move is being seen as a response to India holding events in the lead-up to the G20 Summit in the state which Beijing had opposed. With China's growing belligerence the Border has become a Battleground for testing worlds and resilience.

<p>Less than a week after India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese leader Xi Jinping stood against each other during BRICS summit in Johannesburg, Beijing launched its 2023 edition of 'standard map' that wrongly showed parts of India as Chinese territories.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The map, which wrongly shows parts of India inside China, as well as transition of 9-dash line into 10-dash line, comes just before G-20 summit in New Delhi, and Chinese leader Xi Jinping's potential visit to India to attend the same.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The 9-dash line is a U-shaped line etched on map in the 1940s by a Chinese geographer that asserts claim to 90 per cent of the South China Sea, which the Philippines calls North Philippines Sea. This is against international laws, particularly the United Nations Convention of the Laws of the Sea (UNCLOS).&nbsp;</p>

<p>Despite India’s increasing labour force availability attributed to an increasing population, it will not be sufficient to strengthen the economy or improve fiscal outcomes, a report by Moody’s Investors Service indicated. It said that the quality of education is a major component that puts the population at a disadvantage.</p>

<p>Moody’s compared India’s current education outcome levels to those of Pakistan and Bangladesh, emphasising that better educational outcomes will help nations like India avoid potential job losses from digitalisation and Artificial Intelligence in the long run, especially in services like call centres and BPOs.</p>

<p>The rating agency stated in a report on sovereigns in South and Southeast Asia titled “Population growth alone will not drive credit benefits for emerging economies” that it anticipates continued population growth in the region to support economic expansion because the proportion of people who are working age will remain high relative to the proportion of people who are younger and older.</p>

<p>“However, the availability and scale of labour inputs alone will not drive materially stronger economic strength or better fiscal outcomes. Other conditions such as strong education and quality infrastructure are also key to reaping the benefits,” The Hindu quoted the report as saying.</p>

<p>Moody’s report also mentioned that there exists a significant gap in the quality of education between Pakistan, Bangladesh and India in comparison to China and other countries in South East Asia. This leads to labour force “participation imbalances.”</p>

<p>The organization predicts that, the population of India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Pakistan, the Philippines, and Vietnam are to grow by a third, thereby leading to a 40 per cent of the increase in people in working age, over the next 20 years.</p>

<p>According to Moody’s, differences in the proportion of the male and female populations who have completed upper secondary education are most prominent in India and Bangladesh. It is believed that variations in the total mean years of education reflect gender disparities in educational success.</p>

<p>“The development of relevant engineering and programming expertise may actually provide employment opportunities, not only in technology-related fields, but also in higher-value-added manufacturing given the increasingly complex products being produced in some of these large countries, for example, smartphones in India and electric vehicles in Vietnam,” the report stated.</p>

With China’s growing belligerence, the border has become a battleground for testing wills and resilience. Analysts say China’s completely unfounded claims initially extended only to Tawang, a part of Arunachal Pradesh, where the sixth Dalai Lama was said to have been born. Since the 2000s, however, China has been claiming Arunachal Pradesh in its entirety. Pertinent to remember, that independent India has been exercising sovereignty over it. Arunachal Pradesh became a union territory in 1972 and a state in 1987. Arunachal Pradesh is also located at the confluence of the international borders of China, Myanmar and Bhutan, giving it strategic importance. This extension of territorial claims indicates a concerted strategy, consistent with China's stance on the East and South China Sea disputes.
