Indo-China Border Dispute

Last year, there was a clash between Indian soldiers and Chinese soldiers on the border in the Galwan valley. Many Indian soldiers were martyred during this clash. India has been taking a tough stand against China since the incident. India has also shut down several Chinese apps in India, including the much-talked-about app TikTok.

A government official said that after the border clash between China and India it cannot be business as usual. Seeing the current situation, Chinese investors will be prevented from buying LIC's IPO. The government will introduce LIC's IPO by March next year. The government will sell 5 to 10 per cent stake of LIC. The administration is expected to raise around Rs 1 lakh crore.
