China challenges India's EV, auto PLI schemes at WTO over trade rules

China has alleged that certain conditions in India's Production Linked Incentive schemes for advanced chemistry cell battery, automobiles and the policy to promote the manufacturing of electric vehicles violate global trade rules, and has filed a complaint against these measures at the WTO. According to a communication of the Geneva-based WTO, China has sought consultations with India on these measures under WTO's dispute settlement mechanism. Beijing has stated that measures adopted by India are contingent upon the use of domestic over imported goods and discriminate against goods of Chinese origin. These measures appear to be inconsistent with India's obligations under the SCM (Subsidies and Countervailing Measures) Agreement, the GATT (General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade) 1994 and the TRIMs (Trade-Related Investment Measures) Agreement. "...as a consequence of the foregoing, the measures at issue appear to nullify or impair benefits accruing to China, directly or indirectly,

Peace along border like 'insurance policy' for China ties: Foreign secy

Peace and tranquility at the border is like an "insurance policy" for India-China ties and Prime Minister Narendra Modi conveyed it very clearly to Chinese President Xi Jinping on Sunday, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri said. India's assertion came after Xi said that the border issue should not define the overall China-India relations. PM Modi and President Xi held wide-ranging talks earlier in the day with a focus on rebuilding the bilateral ties that came under severe strain following the over four-year border standoff in eastern Ladakh that ended in October last year. In the meeting Modi underlined the importance of peace and tranquility on the border areas for continued development of bilateral relations. Asked about Xi's remarks, Misri said at a media briefing that India has been consistently maintaining that peace and tranquility at the frontier is essential for the overall development of the relations.
