The latest news: India, with high nationalist sentiment, "repeated" the "routine" three months ago and banned 118 Chinese apps. On the 2nd, the Indian government announced the banning of 118 Chinese mobile phone software (Apps), including Alipay, Baidu, Youku Video, Enterprise WeChat, WeChat Reading, etc. Tencent’s popular Indian game "PUBG" was also banned .
According to the data released on August 31, India’s GDP in the second quarter of 2020 (April to June) fell by 23.9% year-on-year (setting the worst record since India began to release quarterly GDP data. ) Indian media said that this is The drop was the largest since India began releasing quarterly economic data in 1996, which also means that India has become the most serious economic downturn among major Asian economies.





According to the latest data released by the Bureau of Statistics of India, in the second quarter of this year, India's GDP fell by 23.9% year-on-year, which was worse than the 18% decline predicted by the market. In the second quarter, India's mining industry shrank by 23.3% year-on-year, while the manufacturing industry increased by 3% year-on-year, down 39.3% year-on-year; agriculture increased by 3.4% year-on-year, and the construction industry increased by 5.2% year-on-year, down 50.2% year-on-year.



In this regard, Nietzsche, the chief economist of the Reserve Bank of India, said that the Central Bank of India will not tolerate continued economic deterioration and decline, and it is expected that the Central Bank of India will still focus on economic growth.
 



India's official: GDP data in line with expectations



Krishnamurthy Subramanian, chief economic adviser to India's finance ministry, said the figures were in line with the reality that India had been under a lockdown during the April-June quarter, with the vast majority of economic activity restricted. , so the GDP data is in line with expectations.

Niranjan Hiranandani, president of the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (Assocham), also said he found the situation "not surprising", saying that India has lost a lot of business opportunities during the three-month total lockdown in response to the new crown pneumonia epidemic. He also believes that Indian society does not need to be discouraged by this GDP data, saying that such a contraction may continue until the end of this year, but the situation will not be as ugly as this quarter, and the economic recovery is not expected to appear until next year.

India's epidemic surpasses the world, replacing the United States as the new "epicenter"



According to economic analysts, the main reason for India's economic downturn is that the new crown epidemic continues to spread in the country, seriously hurting economic activities, affecting people's income, and causing market demand to shrink.



 
According to the latest statistics from Johns Hopkins University, as of 9:28 on September 1, Beijing time, the cumulative number of infections in India exceeded 3.62 million, and the death toll reached 64,000. India has replaced the United States as the new "epicenter" of the global epidemic. It is reported that India has set a world record for new cases in a single day in the world. The number of new cases last Sunday was as high as 78,761. It also marks the complete failure of Modi's previous tough policy of closing the country. Western medical experts believe that the epidemic in India has entered a stage of out-of-control, which will cause continuous damage and loss to this country with a population of 1.3 billion.
 
 
India recently adopted extreme trade measures! Risk Warning
1. India announced the ban on WeChat and nearly 200 Chinese applications (Apps)



In the early morning news of June 30, the Indian government announced in the "Indian Express", "Hindustan Times", "India Today" and other media that 59 Chinese apps, including WeChat, TikTok, Meitu, and Baidu Maps, were banned from being used in India. The Chinese apps will be banned from use on mobile and non-mobile platforms on the grounds that “these apps engage in activities that are detrimental to India’s sovereignty and integrity, national defence, national security and public order.”

On September 2, it was announced that 118 Chinese mobile phone software (Apps) would be banned, including Alipay, Baidu, Youku Video, Enterprise WeChat, WeChat Reading and other APPs.



2. India strictly prevents the "curve" of Chinese goods from entering

New Delhi reported on August 3 that two government sources said that the Indian government is considering measures to prevent trading partners of Southeast Asian countries from exporting Chinese goods that have not added any added value to India .

India is planning to raise quality standards for imported goods, impose quantitative limits on imports, enforce strict disclosure guidelines and implement more frequent checks at ports of entry for products from various Asian countries, government officials said.

The initiatives mainly target imported basic metals, electronic components for laptops and mobile phones, furniture, leather goods, toys, rubber, textiles, air conditioners and televisions .

The broader restrictions are expected to primarily hurt Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and Singapore, all of which are members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, with which India has a free trade agreement, Reuters said. India is also concerned about an influx of goods from South Korea.

The Indian media revealed in July that in order to prohibit the inflow of Chinese products from third countries, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry of India is promoting the rapid revision of the "Customs Act", and requires the Ministry of Finance to issue strict regulations on rules of origin and authorize customs staff to check and abuse The case of free trade agreements. India previously required 100% inspection of goods from China.

3. India may impose tariffs on nearly 20 Chinese products
Over the past few months, the Indian government has announced production-related incentives to encourage the manufacture of electronics, medical equipment and pharmaceutical products while restricting imports of similar products from China.
According to the "Times of India" report on August 11, the Indian government is considering imposing tariffs on nearly 20 products including laptops, cameras, textiles and aluminum products, and at the same time implementing import licenses for some steel products. It is the latest restrictive measure imposed by India on Chinese imports. On the other hand, India's imports from China have risen for two consecutive months since June. (View the article: India plans to impose additional tariffs on 20 products! It has made new moves on the road of "de-Sinicization")

Public information shows that in the past few weeks, Chinese imports have been blocked at ports including Mumbai and Chennai in India, causing many containers to pile up at the ports . In addition, due to the recent strict inspection of Chinese goods by Indian Customs, the workload of customs staff has increased significantly, which has also had a certain impact on the customs clearance of imported goods from other countries.

In view of this, I would like to remind foreign trade companies that have trade relations with India recently, especially those exporting goods to India, that they must pay attention to the risk control of payment collection and delivery, and be vigilant against customs clearance at the destination port, no one picking up the goods at the destination port, buyers abandoning goods, and rejecting goods. Issues such as non-payment .
