China’s 5,000-ton digging machines are a trade war risk to India

·Economic Times·Impact 3/5 · Notable

China is tightening export controls on large digging machines used in construction, including tunnel-boring equipment. This move has raised concerns that India's infrastructure projects, especially those along the disputed Himalayan border, could be disrupted. The restrictions may impact India's ability to import these machines, potentially slowing down crucial infrastructure development. This could have significant implications for India's economic growth and trade relations with China.
