Summary
The theme of the discussion of my group is one of topic about political agreement in India. The agreement is that India has agreed to buy a high-speed bullet train and nuclear plant technologies from Japan. The agreements with Japan came during a three-day visit to India by the Prime Minister,Shinzo Abe. The train would link Mumbai and Ahmedabad, cutting travel time on the route from eight hours to two. In conclusion,the leaders of Asia’s second and third largest economies also announced other areas of co-operation.
Opinions
My opinion about this article is this agreement is including expectation not only economy but also politics. Actually,China also wanted to buy the technology of high-speed bullet trains,but India chose technologies of Japan,because India has territorial disputes with China. It is similar to Japan. I think India wants to check China. Another my opinion is about exporting nuclear plant technologies. I disagree with this agreement because the geographical features of India is similar to Japan. India has experienced big earthquakes, so the safety isn’t guaranteed. Japan had a serious accident in Fukushima. The safety of Japanese technology isn’t absolute. I think India should rethink this agreement.
