A friend's enemy is not always an enemy

 There was a time when the Prime Minister of India used to hang out with the President of China, sometimes in Ahmedabad and sometimes in Wuhan. If your geography is not good, Wuhan is the same city in China where the corona virus started spreading last year.

Narendra Modi became the Prime Minister, he extended a hand of friendship and Xi Jinping stepped forward and hugged him.

China thinks that India is a big friendly country, there is such a big and old border dispute but it wants to focus on trade because it knows that only those countries can develop which know how to keep politics and trade separate.

Then China felt that there is such a deep friendship between them and what can we see in friendship, we send a small army to East Ladakh, there is so much empty land, what difference will it make to someone's health.

We will see when the border issue is resolved, when there are agreements, we have to adjust a little bit.

And from there things started to get worse. In response, India announced a boycott of Chinese goods, although it is debatable how successful the boycott has been and how much China cares, because the Chinese army is more or less stuck where it came from. She was pregnant.

 But India has given a clear signal that it has decided to stay away from China by distancing itself from the RCEP, a Chinese-led regional trade agreement.

But it will not be easy. The direction of India's trade policy is very clear at the moment, no work should be done to open the way for Chinese goods.

India has been involved in negotiations on the deal from the beginning, but now says it will benefit less and lose more. It already has free trade agreements with all but three of the 15 countries in the treaty.
