| Summary / Abstract (Note) | India's trade deficit with China is set to reach record levels in 2015, new trade figures show, with the imbalance after the first three quarters of the year already nearing last year's mark. As India has grown its consumers and corporations have been importing an increasing amount of China’s affordable products but India’s exports to China have not kept pace. While China has a cost advantage in most products, analysts say India is very competitive in the pharmaceutical, textile and some services sectors. That is where it needs more access if it wants to start to rectify the skewed trade balance. Similarly, frictions along the border and Chinese incursions mounted in recent years remain a serious security concern for India. This provides ample scope for anti-China constituency in India. Also China’s solidarity with Pakistan has wider ramifications, especially from an Indian standpoint towards bilateral relations. |
