“I am heartbroken”: The nations extending support amid COVID emergency

Published

on

As India continues to battle a huge COVID-19 surge – countries around the world are joining forces to provide support to the struggling nation. 

In the last 24 hours, India has reported almost 350,00 new COVID-19 cases and around 2,700 deaths – with authorities worried the true toll could be much higher. 

In response to this, the U-K has begun sending the country ventilators and oxygen concentrators, with EU nations following suit. 

The US is also gearing up to send aid and will lift a ban on sending raw materials abroad – meaning India will be able to produce more of the AstraZeneca vaccine. 

India’s capital Delhi will move into an extended lockdown as overcrowded hospitals continue to fill up. 

Washington was under mounting pressure to help India, the world’s largest democracy, after Britain, France and Germany pledged aid over the weekend.

US officials are also considering sending India its unused COVID-19 vaccines doses from AstraZeneca, the top US infectious disease official Dr Anthony Fauci told ABC News on Sunday.

“That’s something that certainly is going to be actively considered,” Dr Fauci said in an interview.

Meanwhile Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has promised to do what it can to help.

China’s property market crisis worsens

Published

on

The Chinese property market is currently facing a crisis, with major developers like Evergrande and Country Garden experiencing significant financial challenges.

 
This alarming situation has garnered global attention due to its potential impact on the Chinese and international economies.

Evergrande, one of China’s largest property developers, has been struggling with a massive debt burden, exceeding $300 billion. This has raised concerns about the company’s ability to meet its financial obligations, causing a ripple effect across the property market. Country Garden, another prominent player in the industry, is also facing mounting debt pressures, further exacerbating the crisis.

The property market’s decline can be attributed to several factors, including government policies aimed at curbing excessive borrowing, a slowing economy, and a general shift towards more sustainable and affordable housing options.

These challenges have created uncertainty in the market, leading to a decrease in property sales and declining developer revenues.

The implications of this crisis extend beyond the property sector, with potential repercussions for the broader Chinese economy. #ticker today #featured
