The Wall Street Journal reported today (April 27): "Global high-tech companies and retailers say that doing business in India is more difficult than in China or Vietnam. However, India hopes to emulate China, not only by having a workforce for assembling products but also by providing design, components, and other technologies. Trump's tariff policy is driving the country to be more open towards Western companies."

​[Witty] A few comments: As far back as 20 years ago, the West has repeatedly predicted that India would surpass China and become the new 'world factory.' However, to this day, this assertion has yet to materialize. Perhaps in another 20 years, similar rhetoric will still be heard. If India truly wishes to achieve this goal, it first needs to completely improve its business environment, while also changing its deeply rooted cultural and traditional concepts. However, this is nearly an impossible task. As some netizens have said: 'India is a place where even when a mouse comes, it still has to leave two pounds of rice.'
