The presidential election in America is at an interesting turn. The chances of Donald Trump returning to the White House are increasing. There are many reasons behind these possibilities. Some political commentators believe that the deadly attack on Trump has gone in his favor. At the same time, the support he is getting from Silicon Valley is also fueling Trump's hopes. Earlier this week, Elon Musk and the co-founders of Andreessen Horowitz expressed their views in support of Trump. This change in Silicon Valley's approach is considered very important in terms of politics. These things are also closely monitored by India. The reason for this is that India can benefit from the bitter relations between China and America. Let's understand how…
Donald Trump's attitude towards China has been very tough. Trump's stance on tariffs and tech restrictions matches the strategy of Silicon Valley. The US tech market is not liking the excessive dependence on Chinese manufacturers and market amid the trade war. In such a situation, Silicon Valley seems to be trying to strike a balance in the international market of technology by joining Donald Trump. A big market like India can get direct benefit from this. Professor G Venkat, who teaches geopolitics at IIM Indore, is a Sinologist and a Fulbright Fellow. Professor Venkat says that if Trump becomes the President, then it is certain that India-US will come closer. He said that we have seen this even during Trump's previous tenure.
Professor Venkat further said that the bitterness in the relations between China and America will increase. India can get direct benefit from this. Tech investments will come to India. Professor Venkat also explained this with an example. He said that when America's relations with China deteriorated, Apple had to turn to India for supply to non-Chinese countries. He said that Indian demography and cheap skilled labor helped Apple in this matter. Taiwanese company Volkswagen also did something similar. Professor Venkat said that similarly other big tech companies can also turn to India. He said that the interest in technology is also increasing among the people of India. This will also encourage American companies to come here and invest.
also a challenge
The irony is that India and China are at loggerheads on most issues, but when it comes to green tech, both countries are on the same page. Americans also have a problem with this. If Trump becomes president, this will increase further. The Biden administration announced heavy taxes on Chinese green tech companies in May. If Trump comes to power, this will increase even more. This is where Indian politicians will have to be very cautious. Professor Raman says that Trump does not believe in things like global warming or climate change. Trump has distanced himself from such things in the past as well. It cannot be denied that he will do so in the future as well. Therefore, India will have to deal with things very carefully.
