China Urges Calm on TBM Export Curbs as India Plans Domestic Production; Ramayana Film Draws Mixed Reviews
China's Global Times editorial urges that export restrictions on tunnel boring machines (TBMs) should not harm India-China relations, assuring approvals for civilian projects. This follows Indian Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal's statement on developing domestic TBMs amid Chinese export curbs. Meanwhile, Indian industry faces concerns over China's broader export controls affecting rare earth magnets and solar technology components. Separately, the film 'Ramayana: Rise of a Legend' has sparked mixed reviews but significant attention in India and abroad, with comparisons to earlier adaptations highlighting its cultural impact and technological advancements.
