Using the big Indian market to dump their products Killing the Indian units
Example Last year during Diwali, china made crackers were sold in the Indian market. These crackers reportedly contained Sulphur. Sulphur is more harmful than Nitrate. Since the Chinese crackers were cheaper than the Indian crackers, so they managed to attract innocent Indian lot. As a result the Indian cracker industry saw a decline in the revenue.
(contd)
Due to cheaper prices of Chinese products popular among the Indian masses Negative effect on our own manufacturing units
For instance Data reveals that 60% of the Industrial units in the region of Thane and Bhivandi near Mumbai have been closed down. (Indian cottage industries i.e. handicraft)
(contd)
China replaced Indian goods in the foreign market Due to being cheaply produced
Fact to be noted:
China manufactures both low as well as high quality products Eg: the manufacturing of Apple iPhone, Nokia Handset etc. But India only imports cheap products
China is ruling in many markets India is the hub of diverse business opportunities
Slowly yet steadily, Chinese products are dominating similar Indian products Eg: Electronics, crackers, statues, apparels, etc Eg: In 2010, flooding of the Indian markets with Chinese made statues - welcomed with open arms by the Indian consumers

Indias exports to China in 2003 and 2004 were phenomenally high due to a surge in exports of steel. This can be attributed to a record growth in the iron and steel sector in India during this year.

(conclusion)
China Rapid export growth involving aggressive increases on world market shares Based on capital attracted by:
India Low rate of export growth Cheap labour due to low absolute wages & poor infrastructure Exports have not yet become engine of growth, except in services
Recommendations
46
Emphasis on quality Quality at an affordable price always create a value proposition thats difficult to challenge So, India should try to increase their competitiveness in the Chinese market by trying to provide an unparalleled value proposition Product Diversification Feed into each others supply chain Increase the variety of products that are exchanged between the two countries
Recommendations
47
(contd)
Unique Comparative Advantage Both India & China have comparative advantage in similar sectors such as chemicals, metals, alloys, textile etc. This makes them highly competitive in third country markets
Indias Strengths
Strong science and engineering capabilities centred in chemical and software areas Is becoming worlds service centre for software development and back office offshore outsourcing Is also becoming centre of innovation for MNCs Jumped from growth rate of 2-3% to 6-8% last decade Has large critical mass of educated, skilled, and knowledgeable workers Has network of successful Indians in US and Europe providing links to markets, technology, and finance
Chinas Strengths
Very high economic growth, large internal market Very large supply of excess labour will continue to give it low wage advantage Becoming worlds manufacturing base Very high savings and investment rate Moving rapidly up from labour intensive to more technology intensive exports Critical mass in R&D, decreases its competitiveness Strong investments in education and training
Future Expectations
52
India would achieve a growth rate of 10% says Economist, Mr. Kaushik Basu who is now Chief Economic Advisor Indian economy growing at 7.9% which is internationally superb Very few economies have recovered so fast

Conclusion
54
India & China together constitute 1/3rd of the total world population and 1/4th of worlds skilled labour force. They are two future economies to reckon with! For sustainable trade relationship between the two nations, its imperative that they move from competition to cooperation. As 20th century was US century, 21st century would be Asian century where the two nations would lead SO, IT COULD BE CHINA & INDIA IN THE FUTURE, NOT CHINA v/s INDIA
