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.

THE POST BALAKOT REVIEW BY LT GEN P R SHANKAR (R)

By
The Pakistani FM to BBC: War would be suicidal. Pakistan has already started negotiating with a gun to its head! Welcome home Wing Commander Abhinanadan. Well done. You flew into the Valley of Death and survived.  India is proud. Sincere condolences to Air Marshal Waseem Ud Din on the loss of his son Shahaz Ud Din under most unfortunate circumstances. He was incredibly brave to continue his mission when others had turned around.   Paradigm Emerged A lot has happened since Balakot. Some in focus some out. Some hyped. Some diffused. Time to sum up the situation and see where things are heading. Militarily it is called Review of the Situation. I will do it journalistically so that the intellectual western media understands it. They might or not buy our story. Incidentally it is not a story. It is not for sale. This is real live action. Nuclear exchange receding. Not ruled out.     A fundamental paradigm has emerged. India’s fight is ag...

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...
