'Flooding Asia, Africa With Goods On A Massive Scale': MEA Jaishankar Calls Out China Without Naming It

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has indirectly criticised China's trade practices without explicitly naming the country.

In a recent interview with Malayalam news channel Asianet, Jaishankar emphasised the significant influx of goods into Asian and African markets and pointed out the need to address this issue while refraining from singling out any specific nation.

He underscored that the West should not be perceived as the primary source of this phenomenon and urged for a more nuanced understanding of global trade dynamics.

Jaishankar also clarified that his remarks did not amount to endorsing the West and highlighted the complex challenges posed by globalisation, particularly in the context of the last 15 to 20 years, where countries have grappled with the consequences of their markets being flooded by low-cost goods.
