Indian Exporters Courted by Chinese Firms Amid Tariff Wars: A New Chapter in Global Trade

As the US-China trade war persists, Chinese companies—strained by ongoing American tariffs—are increasingly looking to Indian exporters to help them maintain access to the crucial U.S. market.

According to Bloomberg, several Indian firms attending the Canton Fair in Guangzhou reported being approached by Chinese counterparts seeking collaborative partnerships.

The pitch: Indian suppliers would ship goods to U.S. buyers under Chinese or co-branded labels, enabling Chinese firms to preserve market share while sidestepping the full impact of direct tariff exposure.
