Asia Times
China's
fury doesn't wash,
but why the froth?
It's all about "whitewash", Asia Times Online is told by an anti-Japan
protester in the Chinese city of Shenzhen. Nearby, someone sets fire to a
Japanese flag, and his colleague diligently douses it with his fire
extinguisher. The "fury" of the Chinese masses looks phony, and MARC
ERICSON examines why the show is being staged now

India Together
The
half-life of justice and common sense
After one round of public scrutiny and an adverse order from
the Supreme court, UCIL's plans for uranium mining in Nalgonda seemed to be
defeated. But the company now proposes to continue down the same path,
apparently unmindful of local opposition or legal strictures. SUNITA
DUBEY reports.

it is the need for greater strategic intent on FDI and securing the best
possible deals that advance our national interests in matters of technology
transfers.

are not fools...We cannot carry on with old dogmas...’

minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee, it’s a very different West Bengal

tells Mythili Bhusnurmath in an exclusive interview, is that times are
changing and he, for one, believes in learning from experience
