China stands by India, firmly opposes 50% US tariff & threat to hike it: Envoy

Xu said in the face of such acts, silence or compromise only emboldens the bully. NEW DELHI: With PM Narendra Modi and President Xi Jinping set to carry forward the Sino-Indian rapprochement in their upcoming meeting in Tianjin, Chinese ambassador to India Xu Feihong Thursday backed India on the issue of US tariffs saying China strongly opposed the Trump administration's move to impose 50% tariffs on India for its oil procurement from Russia. Xu said in the face of such acts, silence or compromise only emboldens the bully. "US has imposed tariffs of up to 50% on India and even threatened more. China firmly opposes it. China will firmly stand with India to uphold the multilateral trading system with WTO at its core," said the ambassador. He also said the essence of trade was to complement each other's advantages and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results, not a calculation of who loses and who gains. He said trade should not become a tool for pursuing individual selfish interests. "US has long benefited gr-eatly from free trade, but now it is using tariffs as a bargaining chip to demand exorbitant prices from various countries," said Xu at an event organised by thinktanks Chintan Research Foundation and Centre for Global India Insights. "The development of China and India has not been completely smooth, but fri-endship and cooperation have always been the main theme. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Benefits of Trading Bitcoin CFDs IC Markets Learn More Undo There might be challenges, but unity and cooperation are our only options," said Xu. His remarks came ahead of Modi's first visit to China in seven years. He will be in Ti-anjin on Aug 31 for SCO summit, on the margins of which he will have bilateral meetings with Xi, Russian President Vladimir Putin and leaders of other member-states. The ambassador called for enhancing strategic trust and focusing on common interests. He said economic and trade structures of China and India were complementary. "We'll welcome more Indian commodities into the Chinese market. India has a competitive edge in IT, software and biomedicine, while China is seeing rapid expansion in the fields of electronic manufacturing, infrastructure construction and new energy. The Chinese side welcomes more Indian enterprises to invest in China. It is also hoped that the Indian side could provide a fair, just and non-discriminatory business environment for the Chinese enterprises in India, so as to promote common development of industries and benefit the people of the two nations," he said.

Indian Envoy Meets US Lawmakers Amid Trade Tensions Over New Tariffs

Washington: Indian envoy Vinay Mohan Kwatra on Thursday met with prominent US lawmakers amid a strain in relations between Washington and New Delhi after President Donald Trump imposed 50 per cent tariffs on Indian goods. Kwatra met Representative Darrell Issa, Chairman of the House Judiciary GOP Subcommittee on Intellectual Property, AI and the Internet, and discussed key elements in the US-India ties, "including our partnership in energy security and mutually beneficial trade engagement". Kwatra, in a social media post, said he was grateful for Issa's steadfast support of the India-US ties as Vice-Chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee Majority. The Indian ambassador also had an "engaging conversation" with Representative Adam Smith, Ranking Member of the House Armed Services Democrats. Kwatra said he discussed India's perspectives on advancing mutual trade, energy and defence cooperation between the two countries. In a separate meeting with Senator John Cornyn, Co-Chair of the India Caucus in the US Senate, the envoy discussed issues of mutual interest and highlighted the importance of bilateral trade engagement. "We also discussed enhancing bilateral cooperation further in hydrocarbons, particularly between Texas and India," Kwatra posted on X. On Wednesday, the Indian envoy met Congressman Andy Barr, Chairman of the House Subcommittee on Financial Institutions and Monetary Policy of the Financial Services GOP, and discussed the possibilities of enhancing bilateral trade and investment partnership. Kwatra also thanked him for his leadership and consistent support for the relationship as Vice-Co-Chair of the India Caucus in the House of Representatives. In the last few days, the Indian ambassador to the US has held a series of meetings with US Congressmen Warren Davidson, Marc Veasey and Michael Baumgartner. The series of meetings comes amid a strain in ties between the US and India after Trump imposed 50 per cent tariffs on Indian goods, including a penalty of 25 per cent for New Delhi's purchases of Russian crude oil. India has called the tariffs "unjustified and unreasonable". India said that, like any major economy, it will take all necessary measures to safeguard its national interests and economic security.
