Decoupling From China : A Live Discussion

By


Aadi and I had a live discussion on the factors which are driving the decoupling of China from global supply chains. It was followed by some good questions. 
Ms Tara Kartha came up on the show and really motivated us with her comment. Thank you madam.

    Fully agree with Gen PRS that decoupling from China will come only incrementally over a decade or so. Very wise observation- let’s not aim to replace China as the world’s factory. We must be guided solely by our self interest. Yesterday on a TV show I was hearing Gadkari talking of India taking to recycling in a big way- worn out tires from all over the world; rubber being reused to surface our roads. Steel wires from used tires used to precast sections of elevated roads and metro rails. Innovation holds the key- not blind aping what worked for China.

    Chinese products are still junk, but cheap junk. However, price will almost always win in such a price sensitive society as ours. But, how long China will be able to have the price advantage and sustain its dumping strategies to eliminate competition is to be seen. I suspect not beyond this decade.

    Sir, industrialization inevitably brings along environmental issues. However, it would seem, without large scale industrialization it won't be possible for us to become atmanirbhar enough to meet all the needs and demands of our huge populace. How do we thread this needle ?

    If Chinese products are junk yet managed to capture 99% of the Indian market, then Indian made products are lower than junk. A lot lower. I think the Indian products are rightfully compared to feces based on your nomenclature.

    You steadfastly refuse to understand these programs and articles are not about an India vs China comparison. Please do so and stop bringing up these strawman arguments of how much worse we are than China when that is not the topic under discussion. Surely there are many 50center blogs and sites preening about how much better they are than the rest of the world where you can better spend your time at.

Don’t Burn the Last Bastion by Lt Gen P R Shankar (R)

By
‘Sir, will China invade us?’  ‘We hear China has increased activities on the border’. Chinese consolidation activities on the LAC have prompted such reactions and fears. Lot of such inquiries from citizens within and outside India. Why?  Bodies floating down Ganga, mass graves, lack of oxygen, medicines or hospital beds, botched vaccination program, uninterrupted work on Central Vista - all these have eroded our political capital immensely and seeded such doubts. Our national institutions are being compared to ‘rottweilers’ in the media. Economy? Unemployment figures and stock markets – both rattling up. Strangest combination. Rich getting richer and poor getting poorer. An ominous divergence which bodes ill. Leadership? Kis Chidiya ka naam hai bhai? National level paralysis in responding to the second wave. Erosion in comprehensive national power.  Many have never experienced India being so weak. Nor did I for that matter. This frightening experience ...

THE CORONA COMBAT - SECOND REVIEW BY LT GEN P R SHANKAR (R)

By
This is a follow up of the first review @  https://palepurshankar.blogspot.com/2020/03/the-corona-combat-review-of-situation.html General We are now into Day 10 of our lockdown. Midway point of Phase 1 of the battle with the Chinese Virus. Approaching Phase 2 shortly. Critical times ahead. Time for a review of the situation. The PM has spoken to us today. He has just told all of something very important. India is with Indians and Indians are with India. Though we are isolated we remain collected in this fight. Have faith. Economic packages have been rolled out for the poor and for taking care of the common man as well as the industry. At this point of time, I guess that is what the government can do, and it has done that. If the need arises more will be done. I am confident of that. At least for the needy. Overall, we are winning it where superpowers, wannabe superpowers, have been superpowers are losing / lost it. The collective response of India has been simply fantas...

POLITICAL CRUMBLING OF THE LAST BASTION by LT GEN P R SHANKAR (RETD)

By
                                       The politicization of the last bastion of India is well and truly underway. The beeline of Armed Forces officers in joining a political party is just the latest milestone in this journey. More will follow. That will be to the detriment of national security, in the short run. Very definitely. In the long run. It is debatable since the nation is into uncharted oceans. At the outset I must state, that this is an apolitical analysis of a symptom for which I do not have answers. There is a view that unless Service Officers join the political platform, there will be no redressal of the imbalances our Services and nation face. That is agreed to. However, for that to happen, induction of retired service personnel into politics must be across the political spectrum and not confined to one party alone. If it is only one party which is attracti...
