Why tho? You yourself say that the consoomer is dirt poor here which is correct, like chink phones in the 10-15k bracket sells the most here, iPhones have just 0.3% market share last I heard because they are expensive.
Even for the domestic market you can import from ASEAN via that notorious FTA we have signed with them, Samsung loves that FTA, they have lots of plants there for global export.
And everyone loves Vietnam for manufacturing, especially the Chinese.
The point is not "moving" anyone from RCEP to India's side, utni aukaat nahi hai.
The point is is the
behavior towards RCEP necessary like how knowitall is making out to be? Like China has started the goddamn EU in Asia or some shit.
