A debate on " Chinese products should be totally banned in India".
Answers
Answer:
India is requesting United Nations to list Masood Azhar, chief of Jaish-e-Mohammed as a global terrorist from a long time, but China is blocking it with it’s Veto power in United Nations Security Council. After the recent pulwama terror attack, India requested United Nations again to list Masood Azhar as a global terrorist. All the member countries of UNSC supported the move except China. It blocked the bid again using it’s veto power. So, there are protests in India to ban the Chinese goods.
Not just India, but people of many other countries are also protesting against the Chinese goods from several years. It is because of the quality concerns and the cheaper prices.
China is blocking India’s bid to list Masood Azhar as a terrorist. Not just this, China is blocking India from becoming a member of Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) using its veto power. On one hand China wants to maintain good trade relations with India, and on the other hand, it is acting against India in many cases. So, maintaining good trade relations with China may not be a good thing.
Imports from China are hurting the businesses of Indian manufacturers, especially Medium Small & Micro Enterprises (MSME) sector. China is able to produce products for cheaper prices because of its mass production methods.
Mainly there are 12 types of products produced by MSME sector. Sadly, most of the imports from China are also these 12 types of products.
India has a huge trade deficit with China. For the year 2017-18, India’s imports from China are worth $76.2 billion dollars, whereas India’s exports to China are worth $33 billion dollars. So, there is a need to reduce this trade deficit.
