An Indian writer in the Straits Times mischievously claimed that China's trade surplus is more dangerous than Trump's tariffs.

 In an article on Friday, 16th January  entitled "Forget Trump's tariffs. The real danger is in China's trade surplus" the Indian writer Eswar Prasad claimed that China's trade surplus is more dangerous than Trump's tariffs. Is he part of CIA's toxic propaganda program of 1.5 billion dollars to demonize China. 

He looked at China's superb productivity and surplus trade with jaundiced eyes. His outlook is not about economy and fair trade but jealousy and envy at China's progress and development especially in the economic front. Every country can trade freely with each other, and no one is forced to buy more or sell more than each country's own judgement. So the writer's perception that China's trade surplus poses a greater danger to world commerce is plain hubris. He is just looking at China's trade surplus with India's perspective because India's economic and industrial development is in the doldrums. And this is due to India's incompetence and laggard ways of working. So he should not make false allegation when the Indians themselves have to blame for their incompetence and inefficiencies. Trying to run down China's achievement in the same ways as the rogue Anglo-Saxon United States do  is not going to make India look better. The writer has become a laughing stork when he made suggestions to advise how China should cut down productions and reduce its trade surplus.

Many countries including China, Singapore and South Korea invest heavily in India in both the industrial and financial sectors like banks. But due to India's extreme corruption both in the government and private sectors these foreign companies face headwinds in India's poor governance and never ending false and fake allegations of foreign firms underdeclared profits and tax evasions resulting in heavy fines of billlions of dollars. Foreign companies were also penalized and fined heavily for many other spurious reasons. Thus under such scenario no foreign companies can survive. They eventually have to close down for good rather then draining down their capital in the bottomless pit in decrepit India.

Most Indian reporters and journalists tend to hold extreme bias and damaging negative views against China in their articles. They do not in any way help India at all but more certainly they may be part of the problem in stemming India from progress and development.
