RECENTLY the relationship between China and the US has taken a bad turn. In the aftermath of trade war between the two major power, the US has decided to ban products of the Chinese mobile phone company Huawei.

In response, I hear, the Chinese have also decided to boycott American products.

We are also facing issues with the US as the value of our rupee has decreased and the US dollar is at an all-time high.

Many people, I have heard, have started buying up dollars and are ignoring the fact that the economic stability of our country is at stake.

Recently the prime minister set up a committee to control rupee devaluation. To help out, many people decided to go exchange their dollars for rupees — to decrease the value of a dollar and increase the rupees value.

I say it is time we joined hands with them and do the same!
