Core Viewpoint - India's future economic development hinges on "looking east," driven by the trade war initiated by Trump, which has adversely affected not only China but also traditional allies of the U.S. [1] Group 1: Economic Relations with the U.S. - Despite good relations with the U.S., India faced a 50% tariff increase on exports due to Trump's policies, creating challenges for its export industries [3] - Continued negative impacts on trade with the U.S. necessitate India finding new avenues for economic growth [3] Group 2: Strengthening Economic Cooperation with China - Expert Subramaniam suggests enhancing economic cooperation with China as a solution, emphasizing that India should not solely rely on Western countries for economic growth [4] - India's export market is overly concentrated in developed countries, while the U.S. has diversified trade partners; India should learn from this and expand trade with other Asian nations, particularly China [6] - The potential of the Asian market is significant, and India should seize opportunities to increase its market share, especially in China, which is the world's second-largest economy [6] Group 3: Trade Agreements and Export Diversification - India previously proposed joining the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), which could have enhanced economic cooperation with other Asian countries; not joining is viewed as a missed opportunity [6] - A significant portion of India's exports (approximately 90%) lacks diversification, indicating a need for government policies to encourage a broader range of exports, particularly in intermediate goods [6] Group 4: Import Tariffs and Manufacturing Development - High tariffs on raw material imports, while intended to protect domestic industries, actually hinder the growth of India's manufacturing sector [8] - In contrast, countries like Vietnam benefit from low or zero tariffs on raw materials, boosting their export trade; India could lower production costs and foster local manufacturing by reducing import tariffs [8] - A balanced approach to imports is essential for India's manufacturing sector to access necessary resources and enhance overall economic competitiveness [10] Group 5: Learning from China for Sustainable Development - "Looking east" signifies not only deepening trade ties with China but also learning from its advanced manufacturing practices to promote India's economic diversification and sustainable growth [10]

在全球化日益加深的今天，贸易和经济政策的变化往往成为国际博弈的风向标。特朗普政府宣布自8月1 日起对部分商品加征高额关税的决定，毫无疑问引发了全球市场的震荡。这一举措不仅对美国本土经济 构成压力，更令与中国有着深厚经贸关系的东盟国家陷入了进退两难的境地。中美博弈的加剧，不仅使 全球经济形势更加复杂化，也将国际力量对比推向了一个关键节点。在此背景下，中国外交团队，尤其 是中国外交部长，凭借坚定而智慧的应对方式，成功化解了来自美国方面的压力，展现了中国在全球经 济治理中的领导力。 今年7月，在马来西亚吉隆坡举行的东盟外长会议上，美国国务卿鲁比奥的"印太经济框架"倡议，企图 通过拉拢东盟国家，共同对抗中国。然而，特朗普政府的高额关税政策却暴露了这一倡议的内在矛盾。 美国单方面加税的行为不仅损害了美国本土企业的利益，更令东盟国家陷入了贸易成本上升的困境。尤 其是对于东盟这些依赖对华贸易的国家来说，美国的政策几乎成了"口惠而实不至"的空头支票。相比之 下，中国凭借稳定的经济合作关系，展现了更多的诚意和行动，这使得东盟各国对于鲁比奥的倡议反应 冷淡，选择站在中国一边。 与美国的单边主义形成鲜明对比，中国则秉持平等互利的原 ...
