Global markets can only function with a modicum of transparency, and free markets require limited government. Communist China has none of those attributes. Yet it was admitted into the global trading system on the mistaken premise that it would gradually acquire them. With China’s subsequent- and – stunning – rise to become the world’s second biggest economy, the postwar liberal order has been imploded from within and lies in ruins, contributing to the great world disorder we see today. Egregious Chinese behaviour on Ladakh’s icy heights is just one of the symptoms of that disorder.

There’s no doubt that Chinese firms are ferociously competitive, and their government has done an excellent job of developing infrastructure and tech prowess. But alongside Beijing has developed an extensive panoply of mercantilist, beggar-thy-neighbour policies that go against the spirit, if not the letter, of the principles of free trade and pursuit of competitive advantage that WTO is supposed to underpin.

These include currency manipulation, standards manipulation, a comprehensive system of state subsidies for national firms, repressing returns on household savings through an underdeveloped financial sector, forced technology transfers, forced joint ventures, technology theft including through cyber espionage, limiting exports of critical materials to deny key inputs to foreign firms, the weaponisation of trade for political ends.

India has been a particular victim of Chinese mercantilism. Opaque Chinese authorities permit imports of few Indian goods and services that have otherwise been globally competitive, thus perpetuating an exploitative, colonial style trade relationship with India. And now, of course, Indian soldiers have been brutally killed.

Supporting China’s mercantilist methods is a political system of all-encompassing surveillance and suppression of dissent using state of the art digital technology, a system that has been described as ‘digital Leninism’ and reaches Orwellian proportions. Political liberalism supports economic liberalism- following a rule-based global order has something to do with being able to implement the rule of law and separation of powers at home. But the Chinese system is the very antithesis of political liberalism.

A pregnant wild elephant in Kerala’s Silent Valley Forest fell in victim to an act of human cruelty after a pineapple filled with powerful crackers offered by a man exploded in her mouth when she chomped on it. Her jaw was broken and she was unable to eat after she chewed the pineapple and it exploded in her mouth. The incident took place in the fringe areas of the Silent Valley in Attappadi, Kerala. The post-mortem revealed that the pachyderm was pregnant. The issue of the pachyderm’s tragic death came to light after Mohan Krishnan, a forest officer, posted an emotional note on his Facebook page, narrating the death of the elephant in the waters of the Velliyar River.
In which of the following cases the reason is same as in case of the killing of the elephant mentioned in the paragraph?

Nearly 11 million American adults use e-cigarettes, more than half of whom are under age 35. One in five high school students use e-cigarettes to vape nicotine. E-cigarettes are battery-powered devices that heat a liquid into an aerosol vapour for inhalation. The liquids often contain nicotine (which is derived from tobacco) and flavourings such as mint, mango, or tobacco. Vaping is the act of using e-cigarettes, which were first introduced in the United States around 2006. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have regulated e-cigarettes as a tobacco product since 2016. On Sep. 11, 2019, the US administration announced plans to have the FDA end sales of non-tobacco e-cigarette flavours such as mint or menthol.
Which of the following statements, if true, most strongly supports the view that “E-cigarettes help adults quit smoking and decrease deaths and disease caused by traditional cigarettes”?
