The sculptures, from simple small animals and cartoon figures, to complicated, large replicas of the Great Wall, the Yellow Crane Tower and wearables like phoenix crowns and the silver hats worn by the Miao people, are all made with Chen’s...

When Blackstone launched its India real estate operations in the mid-2000s out of a two-bedroom luxury apartment in Mumbai, the property market was fragmented and largely dominated by informal players often associated with dubious practices. Now, it has the opposite problem. India’s $300 billion real estate market is attracting a wall of institutional capital, having become a top pick for many of the global firms that took years to follow Blackstone’s lead. That is forcing the world’s largest alternative assets manager to rethink its property playbook. Blackstone is now moving beyond gilded metropolitan hotspots and into gritty boomtowns in secondary cities, pursuing ever more narrowly defined assets – as niche as neighborhood clinics or student dorms. These bets have turned India into a test case for big money managers looking to stay competitive in emerging markets, where yields are compressing amid tightening competition. “The market matured much faster than people expected,” said Tuhin Parikh , vice chairman of Blackstone’s Asia real estate business, who led the firm’s entry into India. “That doesn’t mean returns disappear. It means you have to work harder for them.” Blackstone’s $50 billion portfolio in India is split roughly evenly between property and private equity. With the country becoming its biggest real estate bet outside the US and the UK, its tenant roster includes global names such as Alphabet Inc. , Meta Platforms Inc. , Amazon.com Inc. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. Bloomberg News also leases office space from it in Mumbai. So far Blackstone has distributed more than $5 billion from India to investors, according to people familiar with the matter. The scale of returns has naturally attracted rivals. With office yields as high as 7.5%, versus 5.5% in New York and 3% in Japan or Singapore, firms like Brookfield Asset Management Ltd. are scaling up in the country. A rising class of domestic wealth managers are adding to the competition, expanding beyond Mum...

Fetterman Says Some Democrats Possibly Afraid To Reopen DHS Due To Party Activists Authored by Chase Smith via The Epoch Times, Sen. John Fetterman said Wednesday night that activist pressure within his own party is prolonging the partial Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shutdown, offering his observations from within the Democratic caucus for why the standoff has stretched into its sixth week. Appearing on Fox News’ “Hannity” on March. 25, the Pennsylvania Democrat said ongoing protests against the Trump administration—such as the “No Kings” rallies nationwide—have left some senators unwilling to vote to restore DHS funding. He said they “might be afraid to reopen” the government because demonstrators are pushing demands that he said were never achievable. Fetterman called the shutdown “fundamentally wrong,” adding that the dynamic is one he has opposed before. The partial shutdown entered week six since most DHS funding lapsed on Feb. 13. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA), which operates under the DHS, has operated without pay throughout, generating lengthy airport delays. “Here we are at the airport every week, I talked to countless TSA agents and they are all hurting,” he said. “They are angry. They are frustrated. They’re exhausted, too, what they’ve been put through.” He said TSA workers should be in the Democrats’ “wheelhouse” because they are union government workers, but now the party was “refusing to give them a paycheck.” “So it’s always wrong, regardless of the party doing it,” he said of shutting down the government. “You can see the kind of chaos that’s created across right now. [People are] selling their blood.” He added that the timing compounds the problem, with spring break travel and World Cup preparations now underway. “Do the right thing,” he said. “Put the country ahead of the party.” Fetterman has been the only Democrat to vote with Republicans throughout the current standoff. He cast that vote again on Wednesday, when Sena...
