China on Saturday criticized the latest U.S. decision to tighten export controls that would make it harder for China to obtain and manufacture advanced computing chips, calling it a violation of international economic and trade rules that will “isolate and backfire” on the U.S.
“Out of the need to maintain its sci-tech hegemony, the U.S. abuses export control measures to maliciously block and suppress Chinese companies,” said Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning.
“It will not only damage the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies, but also affect American companies' interests,” she said.
Mao also said that the U.S. “weaponization and politicization” of science and technology as well as economic and trade issues will not stop China's progress.
She was speaking after the U.S. on Friday updated export controls that included adding certain advanced, high-performance computing chips and semiconductor manufacturing equipment to its list, as well as new license requirements for items that would be used in a supercomputer or for semiconductor development in China.
U.S.-China relations have deteriorated in recent years over technology and security issues. The U.S. has implemented a raft of measures and restrictions designed to prevent China from obtaining chip technology, while China has earmarked billions for investment into the production of semiconductors.
The tensions have impacted semiconductor companies in the U.S. and globally which either export chips or manufacture chips in China. Semiconductor companies such as Nvidia and AMD has seen a 40% decline in stock price over the past year.
“We understand the goal of ensuring national security and urge the U.S. government to implement the rules in a targeted way—and in collaboration with international partners—to help level the playing field and mitigate unintended harm to U.S. innovation,” the Semiconductor Industry Association, which represents U.S. semiconductor industry, said in a statement.

India, the world's largest exporter of rice has imposed an export duty on the cereal and also banned international trade of broken rice starting today. 
According to a notification by the revenue department, an export duty of 20 per cent has been imposed on 'rice in husk (paddy or rough)' and 'husked (brown) rice. Export favourite basmati rice has not been placed on the export duty regime.
India, the world's second-largest rice producer after China, commands a 40 per cent share in the global trade. It exported non-Basmati rice to more than 150 countries in 2021-22. 
This year, paddy also saw lower cultivation, which is also raising rice prices. The total area under paddy cultivation as on September 2 is lower by 5.6 per cent to 383.99 lakh hectares, compared with 406.89 lakh hectares last year. 

Explained: Why India has added duty and ban on rice exports

India banned exports of broken rice and imposed a 20% duty on exports of various grades of rice

Here's why

India exports rice to more than 150 countries, and any reduction in its shipments would increase upward pressure on food prices

India, the world's largest exporter of rice has imposed an export duty on the cereal and also banned international trade of broken rice starting today.&nbsp;
According to a notification by the revenue department, an export duty of 20 per cent has been imposed on 'rice in husk (paddy or rough)' and 'husked (brown) rice. Export favourite basmati rice has not been placed on the export duty regime.
India, the world's second-largest rice producer after China, commands a 40 per cent share in the global trade. It exported non-Basmati rice to more than 150 countries in 2021-22.&nbsp;
Below-average rainfall in key rice-producing states such as West Bengal, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh has raised concerns over India's rice production. The country has already banned wheat exports and restricted sugar shipments this year.
This year, paddy also saw lower cultivation, which is also raising rice prices. The total area under paddy cultivation as on September 2 is lower by 5.6 per cent to 383.99 lakh hectares, compared with 406.89 lakh hectares last year.&nbsp;

One of the fastest cruise missiles in the world, virtually impossible to intercept. A 'fire and forget' weapon of destruction. When the BrahMos missile was accidentally launched, and fell into India's nuclear-powered enemy nation Pakistan, alarm and worry were expected.
This incident raised questions about how India stores and operates its deadly missile arsenal. Let's take a look at the BrahMos launch process and the fail-safes.
The firing process consists of a series steps, providing multiple checkpoints to prevent accidents. The fail-safes include a series of software locks which need to be authorised at various levels. After this is a physical process in which two manual keys need to be turned. After the key stage, the countdown to launch is initiated, and finally the BrahMos missile is launched.

Despite all these safety features, how did the missile misfire occur in March 2022?
Reports suggest that at the time of the incident, a missile unit near Ambala, Haryana was undergoing inspection. This included checking of safety, and operational efficiency. A deviation from standard operating procedure for BrahMos led to the launch of an unarmed missile. A probe found 3 Indian Air Force officers guilty of violating missile SOPs. A Group Captain commanding the missile unit, a Wing Commander, and a Squadron Leader were reportedly found responsible.
Meanwhile, a Senior Non-Commissioned Officer took quick action which helped avert a bigger disaster after the missile had been launched.
The incident expectedly caused concern among government officials.
Following the missile misfire, the Indian government reviewed standard operating procedures for missile units. Operations, maintenance, and inspection SOPs were reviewed and updated. Firing and training protocols were also revised for Indian Air Force missile units. Additional safety measures were also implemented.
The government was quick to take action because the BrahMos is a very important weapon, and not just for the country's defence.
The BrahMos is also a major part of India's defence diplomacy. The Philippines is buying 3 BrahMos batteries for $375 mn. Indonesia is also considering buying ship-borne BrahMos missiles. Vietnam is another nation in the region interested in acquiring the cruise missile system. India is also reportedly in talks with Argentina, Brazil, and South Africa for BrahMos export deals.
The BrahMos can also play a vital role in India's pushback against an aggressive China.
One ASEAN member - the Philippines - is already buying the missiles, while two more are interested. This is significant because many ASEAN members have territorial disputes with China. The cause of the tension is Beijing's illegal expansion in the South China Sea via artificial islands. China is trying to militarily bully smaller countries in the region, and if these nations get defence aid from India, it would boost Delhi's currency in the region.
In such a situation, questions about BrahMos' safety and reliability would have been counter-productive for India. But with human error having been found responsible for the missile misfire incident, export of the missiles is unlikely to face hurdles.
Meanwhile, India and Russia's joint venture which makes the BrahMos is already working on making more effective and deadly versions of the weapon.
One of the newer versions is an extended range BrahMos. Its reach has reportedly been increased from 290 km to 350 km. The first successful test-firing of this version was conducted in May 2022. The missile was fired from a Sukhoi Su-30MKI jet, and achieved direct hit.
Another new version is an anti-ship BrahMos - a weapon considered important in light of the Ukraine-Russia war. An anti-ship BrahMos was successfully tested in April 2022 by the Indian Navy and the Andaman &amp; Nicobar Command.
As the Indian government focuses on expanding the domestic defence industry, and boosting exports, the BrahMos can be the centrepiece of India's weapon offerings.

Amid tension between India and China over Beijing's military aggression in Ladakh, America seems to gaining. The United States overtook China to become India's top trade partner in 2021-22.
In FY22, India and USA's bilateral trade stood at $119.42 billion compared to $115.42 billion between India and China.
India's exports to US rose to $76.11 billion in 2021-22 from $51.62 billion in 2020-21. At the same time, imports from US to India rose to $43.31 billion from $29 billion in 2020-21.
India's exports to China increased to $21.25 billion in 2021-22 from $21.18 billion in 2020-21. Imports from China to India rose to $94.16 billion from $65.21 billion in 2020-21.
The sharp rise in imports from China continues despite India's perceived push to move away following the Ladakh tension.
India has a trade surplus with the US, but a trade deficit with China. This means that India exports more to the US than it imports, but vice versa with China.

Ukrainian seaports remain blocked by the Russian Black Sea Fleet, crippling the country's export of essential goods including grain and oils.
At least 70 vessels - up to 95% of them being international ones - are blocked at Ukrainian ports on the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov.
The impact is being felt by traders in the country, with Ukraine is losing millions of dollars due to the export issues while the failure to deliver essential goods, primarily grains, by sea has put world food security at risk.
"While we used to have about a 6,000000-ton turnover via ports and other transportation hubs, right now, we are at 600,000-700,000 monthly," grain trader Vitaly Lavrov said.
Hundreds of ships have also lost the chance to set sail in Crimea.
With boats not able to leave, fishing businesses on the peninsula have been suffering.
"The company is suffering losses," local businessman Andrey Bezukh said.
"We had 100 tons of flatfish and brill projected for 2022. And that's only a part of the whole quota for the Republic of Crimea which is 352 tons."
He added people had been forced to look for other work with ships not able to set sail.

Weeks after implementing curbs on wheat exports to ensure food security, the Indian govt now plans to restrict sugar exports to prevent a surge in domestic prices. 
According to reports, the new move to curb sugar export is being seen by some as a new risk to global food prices.
News agency Reuters has reported that it could potentially cap this season's exports at 10 million tonnes.
This would be the first such restriction in six years. India is the world's biggest sugar producer and the secondbiggest exporter behind Brazil.
The major importing countries are Indonesia, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, the UAE and African countries.
The average retail price of sugar in is about Rs 41.50 per kg in India and is likely to remain in the range of Rs 40-43 per kg in the coming months.
Domestic status
Sugar exports rose by 64 per cent to 71 lakh tonnes during the October 2021-April 2022 period on better demand for the Indian sweetener in global markets, according to a statement by the industry body Indian Sugar Mills Association (ISMA) on May 19. It added that 43.19 lakh tonnes of sugar were exported during the corresponding period of the last year.

India has banned wheat exports with immediate effect as part of measures to control rising domestic prices, according to official notification.
"The export policy of wheat … is prohibited with immediate effect…," the DGFT said in a notification dated May 13.
It also clarified that wheat exports will be allowed on the basis of permission granted by the Government of India to other countries to meet their food security needs and based on the request of their governments.
India is the second largest producer of wheat globally and pressures on prices have surged with the top producer Ukraine being hit by war. Ukraine produces about a fifth of the world's high grade wheat and 7% of all wheat. 
Many countries had already approached India for wheat imports, including Turkey, Egypt, Israel, Oman, Nigeria and South Africa.
But domestically the price rise pressure on basic stables such as atta, bread and even biscuits is showing up. Wheat flour or Atta, the most commonly used food item in Indian kitchens, has seen rates reach a decade high. All India's monthly average retail price of wheat flour stood at Rs 32.38 per kg in April, the highest since January 2010.

The World Health Organisation has paused the supply of India's first indigenous Covid-19 vaccine, Covaxin, through United Nations agencies. The manufacturer of Covaxin, Bharat Biotech, has reportedly been asked to upgrade facilities and address deficiencies found during an inspection.
The WHO has reportedly asked nations which received consignments of Covaxin to take "appropriate" action. This "appropriate" action has not been described by the WHO in public domain.
Clarifying about the order, the world health body said that Covaxin is effective and safe, but the suspension occurred following an inspection conducted between March 14 and 22, as per reports.
WHO reportedly said Bharat Biotech has "committed to comply by addressing the GMP (good manufacturing practice) deficiencies and is developing a corrective and preventive action plan, for submission to the Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) and WHO".
Bharat Biotech, while announcing a slowing down of production for facility optimisation, reportedly said, "For the millions who have received Covaxin, the vaccine certificates issued still stand valid as there is no impact on efficacy and safety of the vaccine."
