US-China Trade Tensions: Impact on India

As US-China trade tensions rise again, the implications for India are significant. China has tightened its export controls on rare earths, essential for many industries, including automobiles. With the US threatening to impose a 100% tariff on Chinese goods, India's trade negotiations with the US become even more crucial. The situation underscores the need for India to build self-reliance in critical technologies and minerals, securing its economy against potential shocks while balancing relations with both the West and BRICS nations.
