Trump’s China focus can open new opportunities for India

New Delhi: During their conversation with ASEAN talkters, Indian authorities are facing China’s problem. Whenever they want to offer any concession as part of the business deal review, they look at Chinese companies that have established a basis in the 10-member block.
This is a problem that is the most affected by the US by every country around the world, which was estimated at $ 295 billion in 2024 at $ 295 billion in 2024, given its massive trade deficit with China. While the US trade deficit increased from $ 882 billion to $ 1.2 trillion after 15 years in 2008, China’s surplus shot more than $ 300 billion to $ 823 billion and is on the verge of breaking $ 1 trillion mark.
With the average American unhappy with Beijing, and only the war has increased after the Covid outbreak, if there is a country that Trump has demanded to give a tough competition, it is China. In his second term, he imposed 54% tariff, with 34% declared on Tuesday, with several Chinese goods at the top of the measures taken during his first term in the oval office.

The cheap and often subsidized exports by this “non-market economy” are expected to be beaten up due to the presence of Chinese companies in many other countries including Vietnam and Indonesia, which has been slapped with high mutual tariffs as the product origin was replaced to avoid tariffs or to remain part of the global supply chain.
During Trump’s first term, Vietnam was home to remove Chinese goods, as the companies demanded to dodge the tariff citing non-or-sided origin. Subsequently, during China-Plus-One Diversification, it became a home for many companies that were sellers for global veterans, making its economy extremely exportless. Estimates suggest that about a quarter of its GDP is associated with exports.
Mexico is another country that has emerged as a large manufacturing base for sugar due to the proximity with the US, as well as these companies attempted to shed their home-country tags and cross the border. While Mexico has postponed mutual tariffs, the sword of high duties still hangs.
On Friday, China’s anti -anti -counter tariffs in the US are only going to complicate cases, Trump claimed that he was not going back.
