China expresses willingness to import more Indian products to balance trade, amidst strained India-China relations and ahead of potential US tariffs. Bilateral trade reached $101.7 billion in 2023-24, with India having a significant deficit. Economic cooperation and diplomatic engagements continue despite past border conflicts.
I think it’s more just that it opens up another front against China and forces China to waste their resources, plus, the Indian navy’s game plan would be to blockade the straits of Malacca and devastate Chinese trade. They wouldn’t be a superpower capable of winning the war by themselves, but they put added pressure on China and help encircle them.
