India strongly demands that the US respect India,
the trade conditions must be better than China!
If not, it would be disrespectful to India, and India will counteract the US!
This is the arrogance and ignorance of India!
The US threatens India that if no agreement is reached by July 9th, it will impose a 26% tariff on Indian goods exported to the US. In turn, India also threatens the US, saying that it will also impose tariffs on goods imported from the US! There are still differences between the US and India on the import tariffs of automotive parts, steel, and agricultural products. India insists on protecting its agriculture and dairy industry, and demands conditions better than those of countries such as Vietnam and China!
It must be said that India's firm stance against the US is admirable. Because it concerns national interests, there can be no compromise, and one must fight to the end. Our country has been firmly opposing the US, making a vow not to kneel, which has allowed us to stand on equal footing with the US and enjoy relatively reasonable tax rates. At the same time, the US wants to export its products to China, but they have to accept China's tax rates, so this is a process of mutual compromise. Seeing how firm China is, India must also learn from China and persist in being firm.
Even if the negotiations fail, it shows that India has made an effort. The country also wants to gain a status of a major power and favorable conditions, which is nothing to laugh at. If India chooses to avoid conflict, compromise and tolerate the US, the author would look down on India. Now, India is standing up to the US, claiming that if the US imposes sanctions on India, India will also sanction the US. This is the way a major power should act, that is, to fight to the end instead of compromising and tolerating.
India's performance in the recent tariff negotiation with the US has impressed the author. Refusing to compromise, being firm to the end, and even demanding better conditions, including better terms than China and Vietnam.
The commendable aspect of this time in India shows that the country dares to struggle. Whether or not it can successfully struggle is another matter. However, being in the process of struggling, and holding the belief of "fish die and nets break", fighting to the end against the US, is worth affirming.
Previously, the author thought that India was always funny, but at least in this US trade war negotiation, India has demonstrated firmness. As of July 6th, no agreement had been reached with the US, which is quite firm.
