Beijing ready to revive RIC troika
New Delhi/Moscow: China on Thursday expressed its support for Russia's initiative to revive the dormant Russia-India-China (RIC) troika, saying the trilateral cooperation not only serves the interest of the three countries but also the security and stability of the region and the world. Russian news portal Izvestia has earlier quoted Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Rudenko as saying that Moscow expects the resumption of the RIC format and is negotiating on this issue with Beijing and New Delhi. "This topic appears in our negotiations with both of them. We are interested in making this format work, because these three countries are important partners, besides the founders of BRICS," Rudenko said. "Therefore, the absence of this format, in my opinion, looks inappropriate. In this regard, we expect that the countries will agree to resume work within the framework of the RIC -- of course, when relations between these states reach a level that allows them to work in a trilateral format," he said. Asked for his reaction to Rudenko's comments at a media briefing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian on Thursday said, "China-Russia-India cooperation not only serves the respective interests of the three countries but also helps uphold peace, security, stability and progress in the region and the world." China stands ready to maintain communication with Russia and India on advancing the trilateral cooperation, he said. The Russian and Chinese interests in the revival of the RIC followed the recent visit of External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar to China to take part in the SCO Foreign Ministers meeting, during which he held talks with top Chinese officials, including Foreign Minister Wang Yi, and his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov. Joint work in the RIC format was stalled, first because of the coronavirus and later by the India-China military standoff at Eastern Ladakh in 2020, Lavrov said last year. The Ladakh standoff resulted in the freeze of India-China relations for over four years. The bilateral ties revived after a meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping at Kazan last year on the sidelines of the BRICS summit. Since then, there has been a steady dialogue process between the two countries to normalise relations. Jaishankar's recent trip came after the visits of NSA Ajit Doval and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh to China. Lavrov said in May that Russia, which shares close ties with India and China, is 'genuinely interested' in the revival of the RIC format. He said the trilateral mechanism initiated by Russia's former prime minister Yevgeny Primakov resulted in 20 meetings between the three countries at various levels. The three countries were the prime movers of the formation of BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) and the New Development Bank (NDB) of the grouping, which now includes 10 members. A host of issues, including the growing rivalry between India and China and Beijing's persistent backing of its all-weather ally Pakistan in its anti-India acts, diluted the RIC's relevance and importance. Of late, there is increasing Russian and Chinese interest in the revival of RIC as India has become a member of Quad -- the emerging alliance of the US, India, Japan and Australia, which is seen by Beijing as a grouping aimed at containing its rise. For its part, Russia is concerned over the emerging closer ties between India and the European Union in the backdrop of its continued war against Ukraine, according to the Russian analysts. Lidia Kulik, a senior researcher at the Centre for Indian Studies at the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, believes that any format of cooperation in Eurasia is useful because the continent has long been tired of endless conflicts. For India, relations with Russia traditionally play an important role, given that New Delhi and Beijing have problems. Moscow's involvement creates prospects for cooperation in the RIC format, Lidia told Izvestia.

Why US crackdown on transshipment could have consequences for India
A key element in the flurry of reciprocal tariff letters the United States has sent to countries deeply integrated with its economy, be it Canada and South Korea — or those with close economic ties to China, such as Thailand and Malaysia in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region — is the threat of steeper tariffs on transhipped goods. Washington DC views this as a backdoor route for Chinese products to enter its market. Transhipment in trade parlance refers to the practice of importing products from one country and exporting them to another, usually without significant processing or value addition. Indian experts suggest that, in India's case, the US could invoke stringent 'rules of origin' provisions under the trade agreement to discourage the entry of Chinese goods into the US via India. But India's reliance on Chinese products across industry could pose a significant problem while dealing with the US. The Trump administration's crackdown on rerouted goods, which previously allowed countries like Vietnam to serve as conduits for Chinese exports into the US, could extend to India as US Vice President JD Vance during his visit to India in April, issued a veiled warning to New Delhi, stating that the US seeks partners committed to working with America to build things —'not those who merely allow themselves to become conduits for transhipping goods from elsewhere'. This assumes significance for India as its dependence on China has increased sharply, particularly since the Covid-19 pandemic. To be sure, Chinese exports have surged globally — including to the US — following the pandemic, as production in China remained relatively stable while the rest of the world faced disruption. Official trade data indicates a simultaneous rise in imports from China and exports to America. Data from the Commerce and Industry Ministry showed that India's exports to the US in April rose 27.31 per cent to $8.41 billion, up from $6.61 billion in April last year. At the same time, imports from China increased by a comparable margin — up 27.03 per cent to $9.90 billion, compared to $7.79 billion a year earlier. A similar pattern emerged in March, as concerns grew over the possibility of steeper Trump-era tariffs on Chinese goods relative to Indian ones. India's exports to the US jumped 35 per cent to $10.14 billion, while imports from China rose 25.02 per cent to $9.67 billion. During FY25 as a whole, India's exports to the US rose 11.59 per cent to $86.51 billion, while imports from China increased 11.52 per cent to over $113 billion. However, in June the imports from China surged 2.48 per cent but exports to the US jumped 23.53 per cent. This comes amid an increased number of anti-dumping duties that India has begun imposing on high value items such as steel and other industrial goods from China. Decoupling from China has been a slow and painful process even for the US. For India — which aims to expand its manufacturing base to create jobs for its large population — the challenge is even greater. Despite opting out of the China-led Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, India's imports from China have continued to surge, surpassing $113 billion in FY25. While poor logistics and a lack of industrial expertise are often cited as reasons why India's manufacturing sector has struggled, the imbalance in the Chinese economy also played a role. The lower cost of Chinese goods has disrupted several Indian industries. In the renewable energy sector, where domestic solar cell manufacturers have struggled to compete with Chinese imports. Chen Gang, Assistant Director and Senior Research Fellow at the National University of Singapore, notes in his report China's Consumption Dilemma in the Age of Trump that 'China's economy has been notoriously imbalanced, characterised by low domestic consumption and an overreliance on export and investment.' China's 'state capitalism has an innate tendency to focus on the 'supply side' instead of the 'demand side',' Gang wrote in his report for the Hinrich Foundation. He adds that this approach has led to 'enormous industrial capacity subsidised by the state but detached from real market demand.' Policies such as 'dual circulation', aimed at promoting self-sufficiency, have inadvertently 'exacerbated industrial overcapacity rather than alleviated it'. That surplus capacity, in turn, has driven Chinese producers to aggressively seek external markets—potentially distorting global trade and fuelling competitive pressures abroad. 'Since the end of its draconian pandemic restrictions, China's economy has struggled to rebound amid weak demand, excess savings, debt crises, and falling property prices and investment,' the report said. 'Economists are urging Beijing to shift focus to boosting consumer demand and away from a debt-fuelled, investment-led model that funnels resources into export-oriented manufacturing at the expense of households.'
