Influenced by Pakistan, anti-India Yunus is planning a dangerous move against India, it's planning to buy..., it's dangerous because...
In a significant development after India-Pakistan tensions, reports have it that there are grow concerns that India should monitor the ongoing development in ties between Bangladesh and China. A recent report carried by Navbharat Times indicated that a seven-member Bangladeshi Army delegation under Major General Moazzem Hossain will visit China from May 25. The delegation is expected to observe live firing of 155mm SH-15 self-propelled howitzers made by China's state-owned NORINCO. Here are all the details you should know about the recent development and also why India should be worried.
The report has said that the Bangladesh Army is planning to purchase truck-mounted self-propelled howitzers from the state-owned China North Industries Group Corporation Limited (NORINCO). For a background, NORINCO is a major Chinese defence company, which is known for supplying weapons and equipment to the People's Liberation Army of China. About SH-15 artillery system
The SH-15 artillery system was inducted by the People's Liberation Army (PLA) between 2018 and 2020. Although a new weapon of the Chinese defense company, it has been exported to several countries, including Pakistan. The gun is capable of firing a variety of shells, including conventional and rocket-assisted rounds.
Readers should note that Pakistan had used the same artillery gun on the LoC against India during the recent tensions with India. Update on China-Bangladesh relations
After Bangladesh Former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was forced to leave the country, a post-Hasina Bangladesh seemed like a fresh opportunity for China to steer a more pro-China Bangladesh, especially in policies where the previous government showed preference for India, especially the Teesta project.
As per a report by IANS, China maintained a cautious and calculative approach with Dhaka with this intention. As a display of its 'non-interference' approach, Beijing sought engagements with not only the interim government, but also political parties across all factions (except the now ostracized Awami League) via 'heavy endorsement'. Elections in Bangladesh
Readers should note that the Bangladesh elections are slated to be held within December-June, although with no clear roadmap, the Chinese Communist Party has already embarked a party-to-party engagement by inviting delegates of several political parties to visit China.

US commerce secretary says Trump really likes TikTok, but app has to move to US ownership
U.S. President Donald Trump likes TikTok but the Chinese-owned short video app, used by some 170 million Americans, has to move to U.S. ownership, Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick said on Sunday. 'The President really likes TikTok, and he said it over and over again, because, you know, it was a good way to communicate with young people,' Lutnick said in an interview on Fox News Sunday with Shannon Bream. 'But let's face it, you can't have the Chinese have an app on 100 million American phones, that is just not okay. So, it's got to move to American ownership, it's got to move to American technology, American algorithms,' he said. 'I know the President is positive towards TikTok, if it can move into American hands.'

Will Shashi Tharoor Take Part In Parliament's Operation Sindoor Debate? Congress Says...
Last Updated: Amid reports of a rift between Shashi Tharoor and the Congress, the MP is unlikely to speak in the Parliament on 'Operation Sindoor' despite being approached by party leaders. Congress leader Shashi Tharoor, who has drawn condemnation from a section within his party for supporting the Centre's post-Pahalgam foreign policy, is unlikely to speak in the debate on 'Operation Sindoor' in the Parliament. The development has once again put Tharoor's reported rift with the Congress high command under the scanner. Congress MPs who are willing to speak in Parliament need to request the Congress Parliamentary Party (CPP) office for the same, according to party sources who explained the protocol of how speakers were selected. The sources said Tharoor never sent his name. The Congress leadership even reached out to him and asked him if he was willing to speak, but Tharoor refused, according to the sources. Shashi Tharoor, who led one of the multi-party delegations to world capitals to put forth India's stance against terrorism, had said that a lot of people have been very critical of him because of his stand supporting the armed forces and the central government in connection with India's response to Pakistan in the form of 'Operation Sindoor'. On Sunday, the Congress issued a whip to its Lok Sabha MPs, mandating their presence in the House for three days starting Monday, with a debate set to take place on the Pahalgam terror attack and 'Operation Sindoor'. The BJP-led ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and the Opposition are expected to field their top guns during the discussion in the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha, and lock horns over the two issues steeped in national security and foreign policy imperatives. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
