I think YOU need to read MY post again.Read my posts again (quoted below), I didn't ask for a complete ban, I said "Cut down on non-essential goods", which we can do and should have done already for our own good. China don't import much from us anyway barring some raw materials, much of which we shouldn't export either. China has blocked us in all the businesses where we are strong, like IT, pharma, textiles, automobile, banking and some other industries. Besides, I have mentioned about stricter implementation of our quality standards (BIS certification) for Chinese imports, which we should do anyway. Even after that there will be significant trade with China. I have also talked about differentiating between imports and manufacturing in our country that the government is already doing, so China can invest here in manufacturing as per our policies (that they are doing now), this way they can get a fair deal and we reduce imports. Or China can go for a trade war and lose one of the largest markets in the world, most of the Chinese market is not open for us anyway, and there is nothing in the world that China produces exclusively.
About computers, cellphones etc., as I said earlier, OS, processors, RAM, ROM, storage, motherboards, all are mostly American, Japanese, S.Korean, Taiwanese products, you want me to name the companies? We are encouraging their local production and assembling, most of the major consumer durable companies, domestic and foreign, are doing local manufacturing in India for both local demand and exports, 2/3rd of our smartphones are already locally manufactured by more than 25 companies, and were you really serious about keyboard, mouse, etc.? Btw, that iPhone mentioned in the tweet, it's an American product, made by a Taiwanese company which is also opening manufacturing bases in India, it's another issue that iPhone is a stupid product with flaunt value.
Nice job ignoring everything I said.
