While the government shouldn’t
take a stance against chinese influence because that would be against the right to freedom, the government should work towards promoting Indian products and enhancing the indian market to make it seem more lucrative and profitable and affordable as compared to the chinese market

Yes and work with the US, Japan and Asean alliance to stop the Chinese military threat in the South China sea

Should ensure diplomatic relations with china

 @8Q2BQYBanswered…4yrs4Y

Chinese influence is a myth. They're just doing what ever country strives to do but can't due to lack of influence.

 @8PR6QZ2answered…4yrs4Y

China has entered the Indian market. Incentives should be provided to Indian companies to facilitate production in India. So that, more money is circulated in the economy, and value of Indian currency does not depreciate.

 @8NYSGK5answered…4yrs4Y

Only if diplomatic negotiations don't lead to a favourable outcome

Elon Musk's Billion-Dollar Bet on Smoothing U.S.-China Tensions

Elon Musk has showed off a Tesla to China’s premier inside Beijing’s walled leadership compound and dined with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago.If there is anyone with the connections to work things out between the world’s two feuding superpowers, it just might be Musk—or so many in Beijing are hoping.Chinese leaders enjoy some leverage over the Tesla chief executive, who has poured billions of dollars into investments in Shanghai. He has said Chinese leaders “really actually seem to care a lot about the well-being of the people.”That contrasts with the many China hawks in Trump’s orbit including Treasury secretary nominee Scott Bessent, who recently called Beijing a “despotic regime” that needs to be hit with high tariffs to protect American jobs. In China, Musk is a symbol of the American dream and of U.S. technological prowess. Even Musk’s 76-year-old mother, Maye Musk, boasts celebrity status.“Given his investment in China and also given his relations with Chinese leaders, people do hope that he can play a constructive role in the second Trump administration,” said Wu Xinbo, director of the Center for American Studies at Fudan University.The uncertainties surrounding the idea are many, starting with whether Musk would be interested in serving as go-between and whether Trump and others in his cabinet want him involved in China policy. And if Trump is determined to impose high tariffs on Chinese goods, as he has suggested, there may be nothing to talk about.Yet in Beijing, another view prevails, perhaps with a touch of wishful thinking, that Trump and Musk are pragmatic CEOs ready to negotiate.Trump “has this business instinct and wants to make deals,” said Wang Huiyao, president of the Beijing-based think tank the Center for China and Globalization. For that reason, Wang said, Trump would want to tap business executives such as Musk to deal with China.

Mexico Slams U.S. Policies as Trump Renews Border War

President Claudia Sheinbaum suggested Tuesday that Mexico could retaliate with tariffs of its own, after U.S. President-elect Donald Trump threatened to impose 25% import duties on Mexican goods if the country doesn’t stop the flow of drugs and migrants across the border.Sheinbaum said she was willing to engage in talks on the issues, but said drugs were a U.S. problem.“One tariff would be followed by another in response, and so on until we put at risk common businesses,” Sheinbaum said, referring to U.S. automakers that have plants on both sides of the border.She said Tuesday that Mexico had done a lot to stem the flow of migrants, noting “caravans of migrants no longer reach the border.” However, Mexico’s efforts to fight drugs like the deadly synthetic opioid fentanyl — which is manufactured by Mexican cartels using chemicals imported from China — have weakened in the last year.Sheinbaum said Mexico suffered from an influx of weapons smuggled in from the United States, and said the flow of drugs “is a problem of public health and consumption in your country’s society.”Sheinbaum also criticized U.S. spending on weapons, saying the money should instead be spent regionally to address the problem of migration. “If a percentage of what the United States spends on war were dedicated to peace and development, that would address the underlying causes of migration,” she said.Sheinbaum’s bristly response suggests that Trump faces a much different Mexican president than he did in his first term.Back in late 2018, former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador was a charismatic, old-school politician who developed a chummy relationship with Trump. The two were eventually able to strike a bargain in which Mexico helped keep migrants away from the border — and received other countries’ deported migrants — and Trump backed down on the threats.
