Boycotting China: More symbolic than punitive — start designing policies which support Atmanirbhar Bharat (Financial Express) 

Financial Express published an op-ed by Abhishek K Jha & Research Fellow Anjani Kumar write that in 2019, India imported products from China worth approximately $68.2 billion and exported merchandise worth approximately $17 billion.  With ongoing conflict some suggest India boycott goods from China. If that happens, where does that leave India? The authors suggest the better approach would be to start designing policies which support “Atmanirbhar Bharat,” and invest sufficiently in becoming comparable with China in terms of benefits due to economies of scale.
