India boycott hasn’t hurt China goods

[AndrewJin]

Diwali, one of the most important Hindu festivals and one of the biggest shopping seasons in India, is coming at the end of October, but encouragement to boycott Chinese goods has been spreading in the last few days on Indian social media, and even a few Indian politicians are exaggerating facts.

Chinese products are often the victim when regional situations get tense, and this phenomenon has been existing for quite a few years.

There have been at least two prominent Indian boycotts of Chinese goods in the past few months.

The first happened in April. It was caused by dissatisfaction over China's stand on the issue of Maulana Masood Azhar, leader of the militant group Jaish-e-Mohammed active in Kashmir, who is accused of committing terrorist acts in India. The second was in July and because of China's lack of support for India's bid to join the Nuclear Suppliers Group.

Now Chinese goods are on the stage again due to the Kashmir issue.

However, regardless of the passionate boycott in India and Indian media's hysteric reports of a "doomsday" for Chinese products, Chinese goods have never been condemned by Indian government and are popular across the nation.

The bilateral trade relationship is one of the pillars of the Sino-Indian relationship. The trade volume was over $70 billion in 2015, and China's investment in India soared to around $ 870 million in 2015, six times what it was in 2014.

The boycott has not achieved success. Sales figures for Chinese products on the top three Indian online retailers in the first week of October hit a new record. Amazingly, the Chinese mobile phone company Xiaomi sold half a million phones in just three days on the Flipkart, Amazon India, Snapdeal and Tata CLiQ platforms.

Some observers believe that China and India are competing with each other regionally and globally. While this might not be wrong, the negative effect of this competition shouldn't be exaggerated too much if we see it in an objective way.

To some extent, the economic relationship is the barometer of the political relationship. There shouldn't be huge fluctuation in terms of economic cooperation if the political relationship keeps steady between the two.

For the dragon and elephant, enhancing economic ties would be a preferable way to promote the comprehensive bilateral relationship. The more economic cooperation exists, the more opportunities there will be for Chinese products to enter the Indian market. India is a big potential market, and people using smartphones and doing online shopping has become the irreversible trend in the new era.

The commercial cooperation between these two countries could also be focused on e-commerce, service and financial investment. The Alibaba mode has already been broadly studied and analyzed or even followed in India, which means the great demand for online business and financial services in India will definitely provide opportunities for their Chinese counterparts.

With enough experience and capital, some keen Chinese companies have already expanded their business into India. Hopefully, these early birds will get the worm soon.

Chinese companies should focus on domestic resources rather than investing in India
By Gaurav Tyagi Source:Global Times Published: 2016/10/18 21:53:39

There has been a lot of talk recently in the Indian media as well as on social media about boycotting Chinese products but trust me, I am well aware of the Indian psyche. It's just rabble rousing. Indian manufacturing cannot compete at all with Chinese products, for various reasons.

For one thing, India lacks infrastructure. The country still needs to build roads and highways to have proper connectivity across the length and breadth of the nation. India suffers from chronic power and water shortages and, worst of all, corruption is highly prevalent from top to bottom in every single government department. Indian politicians are busy courting the West instead of improving ties with China. The US is no-one's friend. The Americans are just indulging India in order to contain China, as the US is jealous of China's development and global power.

India has enough money but the majority of it is concentrated with politicians, bureaucrats and a few crony capitalists. Indian elites don't want to spend funds available in the country, which in reality is the taxpayers' money but is utilized by the Indian establishment for its own personal consumption. Because of this, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has started impractical schemes like "Make in India." The reason is that the Indian establishment wants foreign companies to invest in the country.

Nowadays, the world is witnessing rapid changes. Automation has taken over a lot of basic manufacturing jobs all across the globe. Imports and exports are down. It would be completely suicidal for Chinese companies to put their money in India by starting manufacturing projects there. The labor class in India is not very hard working or efficient. India has numerous labor unions. Their main aim is how to extract more money from the factory owners by doing the least amount of work.

In any case, Indian businessmen flock to China in large numbers to buy products from China and sell them in India. This model suits China, so why disturb it by going and wasting money setting up manufacturing facilities in India?

I am based in Gansu Province. The salaries here are quite low compared to other parts of China, like Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen. Plenty of land is available in this province and there is also a sufficient number of educated working class people. The cost of living is also lower in Gansu compared to other major business centers around China.

The Chinese phone making companies should set up their manufacturing units in Gansu Province rather than devoting time, resources, money and energy into setting up facilities in India. Let the Indian authorities bark about the growing trade deficit with China. The fact of the matter is they cannot do anything about it.

Of course economically it does not make sense for China to establish factories in india if the indians are buying from China anyway. However, let's not overlook the political implication of beefing up the indian economy. It will only feed india's ambition to threaten China' interest. So, logically why should China do something to strengthen india's economy?

Xiaomi India Claims to Have Sold 1 Million Smartphones in 18 Days

Xiaomi's business strategy of making smartphones with decent specifications and pricing them reasonably has worked really well in the value-conscious Indian market. The company was welcomed to India in 2014 with much fanfare, introducing the country to flash sales where phones went out of stock in seconds. Now, the Chinese company has announced that it has achieved yet another milestone in the country by selling 1 million smartphone units in just 18 days. To celebrate this feat CEO Lei Jun wrote an 'open letter' to thank Xiaomi Indian employees and fans.

In his letter, Jun lauded his employees' hard work, and praised the efforts of Vice President of International Hugo Barra and Xiaomi's India Head Manu Kumar Jain in furthering the Mi brand in India. Jun thanked the Mi India fans as well, and even highlighted some important milestones that Xiaomi has achieved since the past year.

In August last year, Jun says, Xiaomi became the first OEM to participate in the 'Make in India' initiative. Between July and August this year, Jun says Xiaomi became the top smartphone brand in the country according to IDC's estimates. Furthermore, the company has managed to sell 2.3 million Redmi Note 3 devices in just six months, making it the best-selling device of Xiaomi.

"India is an extremely important market in Xiaomi's globalisation strategy. It has become our largest market outside of mainland China. I am confident that with the sustained efforts of our entire Xiaomi family, we will be able to capture the largest market share in India within 3-5 years," Jun said in his letter.

Just to recap, Xiaomi entered India in July 2014 with the launch of Mi 3 and partnered exclusively with Flipkart to sell the smartphone through flash sales. In one year, Xiaomi managed to launch its own website, app, and expanded its partnership to include Amazon and Snapdeal as sellers, as well as many other retail outlets like The Mobile Store and Airtel Store, before expanding its reach to offline retail channels. In April 2015, Xiaomi even launched the Mi 4i, its first smartphone exclusively made for the Indian audience.

Xiaomi is currently hosting its Diwali sale where it is offering deals and discounts on its smartphones and accessories. Check out all the deals here.

Here's Lei Jun's full open letter:

Dear Xiaomi Friends,

Yesterday we set an incredible record in India by selling more than 1 million smartphones within 18 days. On behalf of Xiaomi's management, I'd like to congratulate the entire Mi India team for this outstanding performance.

A big round of thanks to Manu and Hugo for their outstanding leadership, to everyone at Mi India for their dedication, and to the business teams in China for their support. I am extremely proud of each one of you! I would also like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all our partners in India, especially Flipkart, Amazon and Snapdeal, for their support.

And very importantly, I wish to thank every Indian Mi fan for the love they have shown to Xiaomi, which is the driving force behind our success.

India is an extremely important market in Xiaomi's globalization strategy. It has become our largest market outside of mainland China. In the past two years, we have witnessed several exciting milestones in India:

~CHECK~ August 2015: We became the first smartphone brand to participate in Prime Minister Modi's 'Make in India' initiative.

~CHECK~ July to August 2016: As per IDC, we became the #1 online smartphone brand in the country.

~CHECK~ September 2016: As per IDC, we became the third-largest smartphone vendor within India's Top 30 cities with 8.4% market share.

~CHECK~ September 2016: Redmi Note 3 became the best-selling device in the online market with over 2.3 million devices sold in 6 months.

When we entered India, there was extremely fierce competition. We have achieved such extraordinary growth in India firstly because of our vision to bring innovation to everyone with our high-quality products at incredible prices. Secondly, we have an amazing team in India. We will continue investing in India to deliver the best products to our Mi fans - expanding our supply, ensuring the high quality of our products, and further improving our after-sales service.

The core of the Xiaomi model is creating high-quality products, making friends with our users, and operating our business extremely efficiently. This model has been proven in China. I believe that the Xiaomi model will resonate across the world, starting with India.

I am confident that with the sustained efforts of our entire Xiaomi family, we will be able to capture the largest market share in India within 3-5 years! Mi India, let's make history together!

Thank you!

Lei Jun

Agree with him.

But I don't think these so called Chinese Phone Manufacturing companies are headed by dumbest idi0ts that they simply build manufacturing units/factories and do investment in India.

Or maybe the author is more smarter than them. LOL

Just because it's all business and anywhere in the world the companies only look at maximum profit with less expenditure. Ironically it's true in the case of Chinese companies as well. They don't view India through the prism of government of PRC.
