Donald Trump: The US presidential election is in exciting mode. The chances of Donald Trump returning to the White House are increasing. There are many reasons behind this possibility. Some political commentators believe that the deadly attack on Trump has gone in his favor. On the other hand, the support of Silicon Valley is also fueling Trump's hopes. Earlier this week, co-founders Elon Musk and Andreessen Horowitz spoke in support of Trump. Politically, this change in Silicon Valley's attitude is considered very important. India is keeping a close eye on all these matters. The reason is that India can benefit from the tense relations between China and America.
Trump's stance on China is tough
Donald Trump's attitude towards China has been very tough. Trump's stance on tariffs and technical restrictions matches the strategy of Silicon Valley. The increasing dependence on Chinese manufacturers and markets amid the trade war is not liked by the American technology market. In such a situation, Silicon Valley seems to be trying to establish parity in the international market of technology. This can directly benefit a big market like India. A professor of geopolitics at IIM Indore is a Sinologist and Fulbright Fellow. The professor says that if Trump becomes president, it is certain that India-America will come closer. We have seen this even in the tenure before Trump.
Tension in China-US relations
He further said that tension between China and America will increase and India can directly benefit from this. Tech investment will come to India The professor also explained this by giving an example. When America's relations with China became tense, Apple had to turn to India for supplies to non-Chinese countries. Indian demography and cheap skilled labor helped Apple in this regard. Taiwanese company Volkswagen has also done something similar. Similarly, other big tech companies can also turn to India. The inclination towards technology is also increasing among the people of India. This will also encourage American companies to come here and invest.
There is also a challenge
The irony is that India and China have differences on most issues, but when it comes to green technology, both countries are at par. The US also has a problem with this. If Trump becomes president, this will increase. The Biden administration announced a hefty tax on Chinese green tech companies in May. If Trump comes to power, this will increase. This is where the Indian ambassador has to tread very carefully. Professor Raman says that Trump does not believe in things like global warming and climate change. Trump has been keeping a distance from such matters in the past as well. It cannot be denied that he will not do so in the future. Therefore, India will have to deal with these matters very carefully.
