For years, U.S. officials have complained about Chinese companies ripping off American technology to build their own industries, a practice known as “technology transfer.” In industries like autos, Beijing required U.S. companies set up joint ventures with Chinese firms, which helped jump-start China’s domestic auto industry.

India and the US often describe each other as natural partners. In reality, collaboration between them usually fails to meet expectations. That seems likely to be the case with their new pact on critical minerals unless both sides focus on what exactly each can bring to the relationship. In a recently signed memorandum, the two countries agreed...
Higher yield potential is driving adoption of digital farming, with two thirds of the famers using digital tools already and the same amount wanting to learn more about AI, according to Future Farming. This is one of the key findings from the 2024 Farmer Voice survey, a study among 2,000 farmers across Australia, Brazil, China, Germany, India, Kenya, Ukraine,...
