Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao gave a thumbs-up to large fund flows and deals between China and India on Wednesday as he arrived with 300 industry leaders in tow for a visit that aims to build trust through trade. “It is necessary to ease restrictions concerning approval procedures, capital flow and entry and exit of people, thus creating more favourable conditions for mutual investment,” Wen told corporate captains at a meeting organised jointly by the three apex chambers — CII, FICCI and Assocham. Shortly after his 10-minute address, Indian and Chinese companies signed 49 deals worth $16 billion (R70,000 crore).

Following the deals, India and China will sign an inter-governmental pact to facilitate investments after Wen meets Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Thursday.

On India’s claim for a permanent seat at the UN Security Council, government sources expect the Chinese to stick to the “having more discussions” line but articulate an “evolved position” that will not amount to a very open endorsement.

But a proverbial Great Wall seemed to loom over Beijing’s desire for a free trade agreement between the world’s two fastest-growing large economies, with Delhi wary of pulling down customs barriers that could worsen a trade deficit that yawns at $24 billion (R100,000 crore).

Wen said early launch of negotiations to the proposed trade pact would be mutually beneficial, but India hasn’t responded favourably so far.

Merchandise trade between India and China is set to touch $60 billion this year, a 10-fold increase in five years. Commerce and industry minister Anand Sharma asked China to provide greater market access to Indian goods and services, especially pharmaceuticals and IT services, to reduce the deficit. “The balance of trade lies heavily in favour of China.

We’d like to take measures to reduce this deficit,” he said. “Our pharma firms have been engaged in high-end research and seek to partner with China for greater trade and investment opportunities.”

Wen said Beijing has taken India’s problem of rising trade deficit “seriously and stands ready to take further measures”.

“China and India are partners for cooperation, not rivals in competition,” he said. “There is enough space in the world for the development of both China and India and there are enough areas for us to cooperate.”

I showed this pic to my Taiwanese friend and told her that she would look exactly like this 10-15 years from now , as they look identical if one compensates for the age difference.lol



Btw...A quick question. Why are the Chinese entourage in Western attire? from what one sees here in the forum, one would assume that most Chinese would not like to wear such a "western" thing...or am I seeing a disconnect here.

if as you say you are not worried about trade deficits and infact they will harm china, and it is claim that this FTA will only widen the deficit then why dont you agree with this FTA as it can only harm china and nothing else and china of course is india's biggest threat/competitor aside from pakistan

Since dumping would also become easier…Anyway, who told you that India wishes China harm; what India does is to protect its markets…so come out of that mentality

FTA may in fact benefit some Indian businesses in the short-term, but they will harm the overall Indian economy, particularly industrial labour. Nor is it healthy for China to be so export-dependent.

It's not America that hosted the Tibetan government in exile for half a century... that was India.

Why don't you elaborate on this.

Do you think China is justified in supporting terrorist organizations like the Jamaat-ud-Dawah, and proliferating nuclear weapons to nations hosting terrorist organizations, because Tibetan refugees live in India.

we don't support terrorists. china has always been a firm opponent of terrorism as we are one of the biggest victims of terrorism.

india on the other hand is supporting a hardcore neofascist and extremist tibetan "government in exile" responsible for the skinning and torture of ordinary tibetans for "religious reasons".

I don't recall Dalai Lama ever making fascist message .

However,you are right about the torture.

What about your using UN veto to support Jamaat-ud-Dawah, and proliferation of nuclear weapons technology to their hosts.

They can call themselves the government of the planet Mars if they want. India does not recognize them as government of Tibet.

But how have they been responsible for torture of ordinary Tibetans. And why has the Chinese government not made any such claims, nor asked for extradition under international law. Further, what concrete steps would you want the Indian government to take.

Solidarity for Pakistan!
Rather dangerous,considering what they are capable in a later stage.

Tibet back then was like a feudal monarch system,the peasants suffered ,if i remember reading correctly from an article in Hindu,the torture equipments were also put on exhibition.

I am asking what crimes the refugees are committing now, not what happened fifty years ago.
