China Drags India to WTO Again: ICT Tariffs, Solar Subsidies Under Fire

• China has filed a new complaint against India at the WTO, alleging that India's tariffs on ICT products and subsidies for the solar sector violate international trade rules.
• This marks the second time China has approached the WTO against India, having previously challenged India's electric vehicle and battery subsidies.
• China claims India's 'Make in India' and 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' policies provide unfair advantages to domestic companies, harming Chinese interests.
• India is expected to argue that its policies align with its needs as a developing country, focusing on industrial development, climate goals, and energy security.
• The dispute could be prolonged, potentially impacting India-China trade relations and global supply chains, as China uses WTO cases as a pressure tactic.
