India Mistaken in Blocking Chinese E-commerce
Indian consumers are buying Chinese products via e-commerce platforms out of their own choice, and unreasonable limits on these purchases will bring costs up for India’s consumers and hinder its newly emerging economy, experts said. Long Xingchun, a visiting senior fellow at RSIS, said even if the e-commerce law of India is revised based on a rule to limit purchases from China, it will not work as consumers still can find other ways like third-country platforms to buy what they want. “It is actually harming its own consumers’ interests,” Long noted.
