Macron Warns Of Global Order Breakdown As Xi Jinping Calls For Stronger China–France Cooperation

French President Emmanuel Macron cautioned that the world is facing a potential “breakdown of the international order” as he met Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing amid growing economic friction between China and Europe. Speaking after talks on Thursday, Macron said the stability that had shaped global peace for decades was under strain and stressed that cooperation between France and China was vital at such a moment. He noted that while both sides share common ground on many issues, they also face disagreements that must be managed through constructive dialogue and a commitment to effective multilateralism. Ahead of their discussions, Xi urged France to defend multilateral principles and resist outside influences that could affect bilateral ties. It was a veiled reference to European concerns shaped in part by the United States’ more confrontational stance toward China. Xi said China was ready to work with France to promote mutual long-term interests and to “eliminate interference” in their relationship. Fourth Visit By Macron Since His 2017 Takeover Macron’s visit which is his fourth since taking office in 2017 comes as he prepares to assume the G7 presidency in 2026.  He is expected to address the global economic imbalances as one of the high hold priority on the cards. With relations between Europe and China becoming increasingly strained, especially over China’s widening trade surplus, export-driven model, and restrictions on foreign businesses. Calling for a “new chapter” in economic ties, Macron urged China to increase investment in Europe by 2030 and warned that the current trade imbalance is reaching a point where it risks triggering a crisis. He cautioned that a trade war would be the worst possible outcome. One immediate worry for European governments is China’s tight control over rare earth elements, which are essential to sectors ranging from electric vehicles to defence manufacturing. Areas Of Cooperation Highlighted Xi said both sides had agreed to strengthen collaboration in aerospace, nuclear energy, biotechnology, artificial intelligence, and panda conservation, as well as broader global governance issues. He also suggested that China’s upcoming Five-Year Plan would offer fresh opportunities to French companies, even as Beijing continues to emphasise technological self-reliance. “We support Chinese companies that want to invest in France,” Xi told business leaders, without outlining specific policy steps. Ukraine, Shein, And Trade Disputes Also Discussed Xi reiterated China’s stated support for peace while speaking on Russia-Ukraine war but avoided addressing European expectations that a ceasefire must precede negotiations. France has been trying to involve China as a mediator but has seen limited progress. The meeting occurred as France awaits a court decision on the government’s proposal to temporarily ban operations of China-based fashion retailer Shein after authorities found illegal goods on the platform. Meanwhile, China has launched several anti-dumping probes targeting European exports. While an investigation into cognac has been largely settled, others, including one involving EU dairy products remain underway, with tariff decisions expected to be announced soon.

Why King Charles is more German than British
World

Why King Charles is more German than British

The Windsors weren’t always Windsors. Their original name was the extremely German Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, a dynastic title straight out of a Wagner opera. It started with Queen Victoria, whose mother was German, and whose beloved Prince Albert was so thoroughly German that he practically radiated orderliness and efficient Christmas tree placement. The Victorian era might feel like a golden age of Britishness now, but genealogically, it was as German as pretzels and philosophy.

Russia-India Ties: Putin-Modi Talks Draw Sharp Attention From Washington

For the first time since the Russia-Ukraine war began, President Vladimir Putin will visit India to strengthen strategic and economic relations. Before this, Putin has visited India ten times, with his first visit taking place in October 2000. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Putin have met each other around 20 times on various international platforms, reflecting the strong bond between the two leaders. Their recent interaction with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the SCO Summit drew global attention, with many describing it as a new RIC trio,this time standing for Russia, India, and China, replacing the earlier Russia-Iran-China grouping. Putin’s two-day visit is tightly scheduled. He will arrive in Delhi at 6:40 pm and proceed directly to meet PM Modi for a private dinner. On 5 December, at 11:00 am, he will reach Rashtrapati Bhawan for the ceremonial welcome, followed by a visit to Rajghat at 11:50 am to offer floral tributes. At 1:00 pm, Putin and Modi will attend a joint press conference at Hyderabad House.

The meeting is considered crucial not only for both countries but also for the global strategic order. Amid U.S. pressure on India to limit its import of Russian oil due to sanctions, this high-profile engagement between Modi and Putin is being closely watched in Washington as well.

RBI MPC Meet December 2025: When And Where To Watch The Rate Decision Live And What Markets Are Expecting

Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Sanjay Malhotra will deliver the Monetary Policy Committee’s (MPC’s) December policy outcome on Friday, followed by a press conference at noon. Both the statement and briefing will be streamed on the same platforms. When is the MPC meeting? The meeting is scheduled for December 3–5. The final MPC review of the 2025–26 financial year will be held from February 4–6, 2026. Where to watch the Governor’s address? Governor Sanjay Malhotra’s statement will be broadcast live at 10 AM on Friday via the RBI’s YouTube channel, its X handle, and the central bank’s official website. Expectations From the MPC Raoul Kapoor, Co-CEO of Andromeda Sales and Distribution said that he expects the MPC to announce a 25 basis points rate cut in the upcoming policy review. "With inflation steadily moving within the RBI’s comfort range and multiple high-frequency indicators pointing towards a gradual economic softening, the environment is now conducive for a calibrated easing," he added. According to him, at this juncture a rate cut would be "meaningful relief to borrowers—particularly those servicing big-ticket loans such as home loans and auto loans. It would help lower the overall cost of credit and, in turn, stimulate demand across key consumption-driven and investment-led sectors of the economy." Also, a measured rate cut will signal confidence in the economic outlook while supporting growth momentum. As a leading loan distribution company, Andromeda believes that easing rates will strengthen credit flows, encourage capital formation, and contribute to a more robust and broad-based economic recovery, he added. Praveen Sharma, the CEO of REA India (Housing.com) said, "Following the RBI’s decision to hold the rate in past meetings, the possibility of an immediate repo rate cut next month appears limited."  He said, "the cumulative 100 bps rate cuts this year have already eased the burden on homebuyers significantly. If economic and inflation indicators remain favourable next month, a minor repo rate reduction could be possible, which might in turn bring down home loan EMIs."  For the time being, the biggest positive is that the borrowing environment remains stable and highly supportive for buyers, he added. Umesh Sharma, CIO–Debt at The Wealth Company Mutual Fund, said post-October data has made the outlook for a December cut harder to gauge. While soft inflation provides "policy space, resilient demand, strong credit growth, and tighter liquidity due to forex intervention complicate the decision." He added that global cues remain mixed, with uneven Fed communication and fiscal risks at home also in play. In his view, further cuts may have limited impact, and the MPC should maintain a dovish tone while assuring ample liquidity. October 2025 MPC review In October, the MPC unanimously voted to maintain the policy repo rate at 5.5 per cent and retain the neutral stance adopted in June. It also lifted its FY26 growth projection to 6.8 per cent and lowered the inflation forecast to 2.6 per cent. Why does Repo Rate Matter? The bi-monthly MPC review sets key interest rates and outlines inflation and growth projections. Movements in the repo rate, the rate at which the RBI lends to commercial banks, directly affect borrowers. A higher repo rate typically leads banks to raise lending rates, pushing up EMIs on home, car and personal loans. Conversely, rate cuts reduce borrowing costs but can also bring down returns on savings instruments and fixed deposits.

iPhone 17e Leak: BOE, Samsung Or LG Display, Which Screen Will You Actually Get?

The iPhone 17e is expected to launch in the first months of 2026. A new report from Korean outlet TheElec says the phone will come with a screen made by BOE, Samsung Display, and LG Display. BOE will get most of the screen orders.  The display will be the same LTPS OLED that Apple used in the iPhone 16e, but this time the bezels will be thinner. Apple is expecting to ship around 8 million iPhone 17e units in the first half of next year. iPhone 17e To Feature BOE Display The main highlight of the iPhone 17e is its display. Apple will use the same LTPS OLED panel that was seen in the iPhone 16e.  So the quality is expected to be similar. However, the bezels around the screen will be thinner, giving the phone a cleaner and more modern look. The display will be supplied by three companies, BOE, Samsung Display, and LG Display, but most of the orders will go to BOE.  This shows Apple has strong trust in BOE for this model. Nothing else about the screen is mentioned, so the big change that users will notice is the slimmer bezels. What About iPhone 17e Camera & Overall Features? The iPhone 17e will feature the same 18MP selfie camera that launched with the rest of the iPhone 17 family in September. So people can expect improved selfies and better video calls compared to previous models. For the rear camera, it will keep the 48MP main camera that the iPhone 16e had. So there is no change mentioned in the back camera. Along with this, the iPhone 17e is expected to run on the A19 chip, which powers the other iPhone 17 models. With the A19 chip and upgraded selfie camera, Apple is trying to give users strong performance without changing too many things. Apple is planning to ship around 8 million units of the iPhone 17e in the first half of 2026, which shows high confidence in the phone.
