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.

In Favor :-

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 de!cit 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 de!cit.

Many Indian Toys industries were closed

because of the vast imports of cheaper Chinese
toys.

Many Chinese products such as !re crackers,

plastic toys are found to be Health and
Environment hazard, because of the use of low
quality materials in the making.

Chinese industries doesn’t spend much money

on innovation, research and development,
rather they just manufacture imitation goods
whenever new products are innovated in other
countries. So, it is morally incorrect to import
these goods.

Against :-

As a member of World Trade Organization

(WTO), India cannot simply ban imports from
its member countries.

Chinese goods are cheaper when compared

with domestic products. If we ban
Chinese goods, poor and middle class people
will be forced to spend more for necessities.

For some goods, India is dependent on Chinese

imports. For example, for some Indian
industries, capital goods come from china. If we
import capital goods from other countries, we
have to buy them for higher prices, which will
inturn raise the !nal products’ cost. So, this is
not good for the economy. For example, We are
also importing primary goods from China like
computer hardware, electronic components etc.
These primary goods are used by Indian
industries to make !nal products.

At present, India has no good alternatives to

some of the Chinese products.

Steps taken by India :-

India is imposing anti-dumping duty on low

quality goods from China. As of 2019, India
imposed anti-dumping duty on 99 products
from China.

India is in talks with China to export more

agricultural products such as pomegranates,
soyameal, grapes etc to reduce trade de!cit

Facts :-

Chinese goods are cheaper mainly because of

‘Large scale production’ and ‘cheap labor’.

‘Obra’ village in Bihar o"cially imposed ban on

Chinese goods.

‘The Confederation of All India Traders’ (CAIT)

has claimed that the sale of Chinese goods in
the Diwali season, 2016 was down by 60% as a
result of the social media campaign urging
people to boycott Chinese goods.

Conclusion :-

We cannot completely ban Chinese goods,

because India is a member of WTO. But we can
take steps to achieve balance of trade and to
reduce our dependence on Chinese imports. There
is a need improve our manufacturing culture to
produce goods at cheaper prices domestically. And
there is also a need to be strict with the low quality
imports. It is good for any country to be self-
su"cient as much as possible.
