Indian Economics Thread II

[ChongqingHotPot92]

A rapist Hindu-nationalist regime dominating? Are you talking about in a sexual way?

A nationalist government isn't going to make many friends locally. Just look at all the push back against China in East Asia for the perceived aggressions.

India doesn't any friends in the region so long as it has Washington's backing. Just look at the assassination of Sikh leader in Canada. India literally has a free hand to do whatever it wants because Washington needs India to contain China. Can you imagine China sending MSS agents to assassinate Uighur and Tibetan activists in the US or Canada? Washington would probably levy tons of sanctions afterward, if not worse. That's the principle of double standards in international politics. It is all decided by big guys and the geopolitical landscape.

And yes, India is a rapist superpower. It is one of the few countries where men can easily get away with rape, whilst the majority of the society turn a blind eye on sexual, caste, and religious violence. If the India were to dominate Asia, the same kind of barbarity would be imposed on India's neighbors. So never underestimate the threat India brings. It is not only traditional material power, but also how high-caste Hindu men see the world through their own imaged power dynamics.

The licensing system for imports, which was introduced on August 3 with the intention of guaranteeing the entry of "trusted hardware and systems" into India, was postponed for three months following opposition from the industry and criticism from Washington.

LOL! India wanted to restrict import of laptops from China, but are rebuffed from the industry and Washington. Wonder why huh? Is it because all the big laptop brands are manufactured in China?

In August 2023, the Indian authorities declared that starting from November 1, 2023, import licenses would be mandatory for electronic goods such as laptops and tablets. However, the enforcement of these limitations had been put on hold by the government and has now been scrapped for a new order.

The reasons behind the government’s decision to impose import restrictions were:

• Addressing security issues
• Encouraging local manufacturing
• Reducing the influx of laptops from China

LOL! Laptops from China are not secure for India? Then buy those that were Made in India then! What? Indian industry cannot make laptops? What about assembling components not from China? Not allowed too? Then no more laptops for India then! LOL!

According to the government’s prior announcement, only those with a valid license would be permitted to import the restricted items. However, certain exceptions were made including for the tasks like R&D, testing, benchmarking, evaluation, repair, re-export, and product development.

Oh, so only those with the special license could import laptops and parts from China? You mean guys like Ambani, or Adani, right? But you have so many exceptions there. Why shouldn't someone use that as loophole? What kinda import restriction is this? It wants to be restrictive, yet its porous with so many loopholes?

Moral of the story is, banning Chinese-made laptops before you can produce your own laptops is never a good idea. Can India develop its own laptop industry? Yes, but not like this. Not with trade protectionism, racism, and stupidity. India needs fair market competition. Which the elites will never allow. India needs a new generation of electronic engineers, but the next generation are being taught more Hindutva than science. So India can continue blaming China, and 10-20 years later, India will still not have its own laptop industry.

Bro I sense this annoyance persistence attitude from Indian Psychic, They can't accept NO for an answer, they keep pestering you until you give up. That's why nobody want to do business with them or even give them the light of day. The more you ignore them the more they annoy you. So the only solution is take their bluff BUT shame is a foreign subject to them so what to do?

Asianometry has a fascinating video on why Indian computer failed and largely mirrors your post.

I was looking into the LLM A.I. landscape in India to see and assess how far or close the country is to generative A.I. that America's ChatGPT has successfully and massively made the world notice and excited. While it's not a surprise to many that are following or well read into this landscape that China and U.S. are the 2 leading countries competing on this section of A.I. the scope and size, along with the potential for India's foray into LLM is worth looking into.

As I was doing some reading on this topic, I found this medium article written by a concern Indian with regards to what appears to be laggard for India's LLM. The most interesting part on the article for me is finding out that most of the investor's money that are funding Indian startups actually COME FROM CHINA much to the chagrin to the author, as he himself wrote.

Here is the article in question:

That dude is very anti-India that I sometimes liken him to Gordon Chang. That's probably unfair comparison but I just don't know what animates his passion against India for him to be so antagonistic against his country of birth and heritage. While I acknowledge that China has long surpassed India in almost every front, I believe that India is still poised to become the next potential as its been for the past 40 plus years.

Even EU has had enough with Indian economic scamming.

European Union member states want to close a free trade deal with India, but only if it grants real access to the Asian country's markets, Spanish Deputy Trade Minister Xiana Mendez said on Friday at an EU meeting chaired by her country.

The EU and India last year revived negotiations to forge a free trade agreement that could act as a counterbalance to China's growing influence in the Indo-Pacific region, but the bloc has deemed India's proposals so far as too soft to lead to a comprehensive pact.



"We've felt a political impetus on India's behalf and we want to reinforce the negotiations," said Mendez who represented the Spanish rotating presidency of the European Council at a meeting of trade ministers in the Spanish city of Valencia.

"There is an enormous interest from the member states, but only if there will be an access to the real market, without which the deal would be emptied."

The EU is seen wanting greater access to Indian markets for its cars, alcoholic drinks and agri-food products such as cheese, while India is seen benefiting more in services and would like easier visa access to the EU for Indian professionals.

A free trade deal with the EU would suck the air out of a lot of Indian industries. I doubt the Indians will do this.
Indian services are also less applicable to the EU than Anglo-Saxon nations. Because of the diverse languages used in the EU.
