fair point,sound very strategic.but i doubt that indian elite entrepreneurs would not care about the money under their nose for driving up chinese manufacture's cost.do you think so?
China's manufacturing costs have gone up and soon it will not be a lucrative area to trade with.
Why increase trade with China?
Let it wither away since less exports will create problems for China and they will learn which side of the bread is buttered. As it is, they are worried with the labour cost and aspirations going up in China and manufacturers moving out to Vietnam etc.
Therefore, it is ideal to put the heat on!
There is already a pressure to stop iron ore being exported to China, with which they are undertaking manufacture. Let them take it from Australia and deplete their resources.
