US accuses over 40 nations of helping China evade tariffs through transshipment

The US has accused over 40 countries, including India, of helping China evade tariffs by allowing Chinese goods to be transshipped through their ports before being sent to the US. This means that these countries are allegedly allowing Chinese goods to be re-exported under a different country's label to avoid paying US tariffs. This accusation is significant because it could lead to increased trade tensions and potential trade restrictions between the US and these countries.
