India, Japan And Australia Working On Trilateral Supply Chain To Reduce Dependency On China

[INDIAPOSITIVE]

Amid China's aggressive political and military behaviour, India, Japan and Australia have begun talks for launching a trilateral Supply Chain Resilience Initiative (SCRI) to reduce dependency on Beijing, reports Economic Times.

According to the report, the initiative was first proposed by Japan and is now taking shape.

Stressing on the urgency to take the initiative forward, Japan through its Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry had recently approached India.

The three countries are now working on fixing dates for the first meeting of the their respective commerce and trade ministers by next week.

Amid the tension with China at the line of actual control (LAC) in Ladakh, India has taken the proposal quite seriously, contrary to its erstwhile approach of considering any such proposal cautiously.

The decision to become the part of the global supply chain, which can potentially serve as an alternative to China, has reportedly been taken at the highest levels of the Indian government.

The development comes after PM Modi's Independence Day speech in which he asserted that businesses have started viewing India as a possible "hub for supply chains" and that the country should also "make for the world".

The objective of the Japanese proposal is to make the Indo-Pacific region and "economic powerhouse" by attracting foreign direct investment as well as building mutually complementary ties among partner countries.

Under the proposal, the aim is to work out a plan to build on the existing bilateral supply chain networks. India and Japan already have an Indo-Japan Industrial Competitiveness Partnership that deals with locating Japanese firms in India.

After an understanding emerges among India, Japan and Australia, the initiative could also be thrown open for the ASEAN countries.

The purpose of the SCRI is to improve supply chain resilience across the Indo-Pacific.

How does Japan-India high speed train project go?

How does Japan-India high speed train project go?

Around 50 % land acquisition. Track work can start only when 70% land is acquired as per Indian project guidelines. Unfortunately one state is under opposition party government and is not cooperating with the central government.
You won't understand.

Technically Germany and Japan built a majority of the hsr in China initially.
We cant compete with high iq Chinese.

It was Japan who built the Delhi metro, and they will also complete the first phase of India HSR project. Give that big mouth of yours a little rest.

Actually Japan provided the long term loan for the Delhi metro.
DM is a hotch potch of expertise from many different agencies and suppliers. Japanese technical involvement is not much.
Ignore the Chinese troll. He is just reducing the forums quality.

India, Japan and Australia are said to seek supply chain pact

Shruti Srivastava

21 Aug 2020

Japan, India and Australia are seeking to build stronger supply chains to counter China’s dominance as trade and geopolitical tensions escalate across the region, according to people in Tokyo and New Delhi with knowledge of the matter.

The three nations are discussing building a “supply chain resilience initiative," according to the people, who asked not to be identified because they are not authorized to speak to the media about internal discussions. The talks are at a working level currently, but Japan would like to bring them to a higher level at some point, according to a person in Tokyo.

India’s government is considering the plan and will make a decision soon about whether to participate, some of the people said. An Australian official declined to confirm the talks.

The intensifying US-China conflict and worsening diplomatic relations across the region are forcing companies to consider whether they can continue to do business in China as before. In addition, the disruptions to trade caused by Covid-19 brought home how dependent many nations were on China for essential goods such as ventilators or masks, spurring talk about diversification.

Factory diversification

Japan is trying to pare its reliance on Chinese factories, with the government subsidizing some companies to shift or expand operations in Japan and Southeast Asia. So far 87 firms are participating in the program, which will pay out 243.5 billion yen ($2.3 billion).

Both India’s and Australia’s trade and diplomatic relations with China are fraying. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government restricted some Chinese imports and banned several Chinese apps after a deadly border clash with its neighbor. In Australia, exports like beef, barley and now wine have been targeted by China amid deteriorating ties between the two nations.

The Quad

Along with the US, Japan, Australia and India are members of the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue, or Quad, a loose grouping for national security consultation.

Two calls and a text message sent to India’s trade ministry spokesperson during business hours were unanswered.

A spokesman for Australia’s foreign ministry said the nation is working with a range of partners to ensure supply chains are kept open and resilient during the recovery from Covid-19, but did not confirm whether it was working on a deal with Japan and India. There’s no clear agreement between the three nations on any action yet, an official from Japan’s trade ministry said.

Earlier this year Australia and India agreed to work together on diversifying supply chains.

The new proposal will seek to lean on such bilateral agreements between countries and put in place further measures for trade facilitation and attracting foreign direct investment in the Indo-Pacific region, the people said. Nations from Southeast Asia would also be invited to participate, they said.

[Menthol]

This is why India is willing to attack and create borders clash with China.

Because they are "paid".

The same in the past how they betrayed China with Dalai Lama.


India can't be trusted.

It's more like in their DNA and culture.

If betrayal is being done only once, we can assume it's coincidence, because of some bad democratically elected leader.

But it's twice, and it will be more in the future.


It's not so surprising, because India government is also betraying their own people.

Just looks at how everyday Indian people's life, their "democratically elected" government treatment toward their own people who elect them.

More like a cattle than a human being.


India government is extremely willing to nuke other countries, simply because it's a very proud act for them, like a big win, without ever considering humanity.

Why not China move back to pre march positions ad show Indian public their largesse? If it can't, it might as well STFU about India's reactions.

Did you just say, as a Chinese who is accustomed to being brainwashed by the CCP from cradle to grave, that a democratically elected government treats its people like cattle? lol, that's some chutzpah!

Not trying to tell your people how to feel, but you don't show 'largesse' after you illegally occupy someone's land and then retreat. The Chinese overplayed their hand acting like petulant child hell-bent on expansionism.

 

[Chhatrapati]

It's in our culture to never trust a Chinese. This is a 700 year old art showing Chinese in let's say a bad light. Undermine them at every turn possible.

The only reason why this initiative will fail is because India is included. Mark my words. Whenever India is included in something, the result is almost never good.
