At a time when the entire world recognises that China is a non-transparent and opaque economy, some people, possibly responsible for its growing influence in the India industry, are choosing to continue to praise or defend the China story, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal said on Thursday.
Slamming the previous Congress-led government, he said it is a matter of "shame" that India allowed substandard and opaquely-priced Chinese goods to flood the Indian markets and kill Indian manufacturing.
"As regards China, it is very sad that some people, possibly responsible for the growing influence of China in the India industry, are choosing to continue to praise or defend the China story, whereas the whole world today recognises that China is a non-transparent and opaque economy," Goyal told Indian journalists at a news conference here.
He was responding to a question on recent remarks by Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi during his US trip last month, alleging th

The SAARC is "not moving forward" and meetings of the regional grouping have not happened in the last few years as one of its members is practising "cross-border terrorism", External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Saturday.
The EAM's remarks on the stalling of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC), without naming any country, comes ahead of his scheduled visit to Pakistan mid-October to attend a key meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) in Islamabad.
The SAARC has not been very effective since 2016 as its biennial summits have not taken place since the last one at Kathmandu in 2014.
"At the moment, SAARC is not moving forward. We have not had a meeting of SAARC for a very simple reason, there is one member of SAARC who is practising cross-border terrorism, at least against one more member of SAARC, maybe more," Jaishankar said in response to a query on revival of the grouping at an event here.
"If you are all sitting together and ...
