Press Release Apr 11, 2025 28 Add to Reading List

The trade war between the US and China has reached its peak. Both countries are saying "hit" to hit" on tariffs. The US is taunting China by saying "you impose as much as you impose, I will impose as much". On the 2nd of this month, the US imposed 34 percent tariffs on China. In response, China also imposed 34 percent tariffs on the superpower. However, US President Trump has warned that if China does not withdraw the 34 percent tariffs announced, an additional 50 percent tariffs will be imposed. He announced that he will cancel all talks with China along with us. China reacted by announcing that they will also announce retaliatory tariffs. In retaliation, it imposed 84 percent tariffs on American goods. This angered Trump. The tariffs were increased significantly.

India and China relations are becoming increasingly tense. The two countries, which are major players in the global economy, have become rivals. But it is noteworthy that in recent times, there has been a growing anger among the people of India towards China. This is not a simple view — there are many political, economic, security, and cultural reasons for this. In this context, let us now take a closer look at how the concept of “Happy India..!” came into being.

The 145 percent tariffs imposed by Trump will affect nearly $450 billion in Chinese products. The 84 percent tariffs imposed by China will affect $143 billion in American products. This has raised concerns among the public about the tariffs imposed by the US. Trump took a key decision to suspend retaliatory tariffs imposed on 75 countries for 90 days. But China was not exempted. With this, it seems that Trump has targeted China. Why is Trump so angry with China? What are the strengths of China and the US?

1. Border issues — Ladakh example

The main reason for the anger against China is the border tensions. Especially after the Galwan Valley clash, the intolerance towards China has increased among the people of India. China's continuous violation of the border and attempts to enter Indian soil is a betrayal. This has damaged India's national pride. These actions, which have become a threat to the security of the country, have seriously hurt the sentiments of the people.

2. Economic competition and barriers

India and China — The economic competition between the two is very real. With the slogan of “Aatmanirbhar Bharat”, the Indian government has started promoting local products. It has taken several steps to reduce imports from China. This includes banning several Chinese apps and imposing investment restrictions on Chinese companies.

These actions have instilled nationalism among the Indian youth. The slogan "Boycott China" has spread among the people, leading to protests against Chinese products across the country. This has not only benefited India economically, but also supported domestic industries.
