Analysis of India's Trade Bottlenecks with the U.S. and China
This analysis examines India's trade challenges, focusing on U.S. pressure through vague arguments like 'forced labor' and 'surplus capacity', and a proposed 100% tariff on India for buying Russian crude. Meanwhile, China has become India's largest trading partner despite no trade deal, with imports from China surging 21.8% in early 2026. India's trade deficit with China is widening, and its dependence on Chinese machinery and intermediates is overwhelming. The article argues that technology is key to trade success, contrasting China's high savings and investment-driven growth with India's struggles. India has signed trade agreements with the UK, EU, UAE, and New Zealand to diversify, but past deals with Japan, Korea, and Australia increased deficits. The U.S. has tried to thwart Chinese tech advances but now depends on Chinese imports.
