giri , import material from china ,import engineer from china and let govt subsidise the installation.
Instead of binaries why don't you view this as pragmatism in the face on increasingly volatile neighborhood especially the US's renewed needling & meddling in our neighborhood ."Two days after the Galwan border clashes in June 2020, Jaishankar had laid down the line that “peace and tranquillity on the borders is essential” for re-commencement of bilateral relations. This line became a “whole-of-government” approach that Home, Defence, Finance and others have followed so far.
However, despite concerted efforts, it has not become a “whole-of-society” approach -- the business communities stepped up importing large amounts of goods from China, and India’s big industrial houses wanted to import “disciplined” workers from China"
India-China ties at a crossroads as security, economic pressures clash
India-China ties at a crossroads as security, economic pressures clash
The author is understimating GOI , if it really wanted it could have forced trade to decrease year on year after 2020, but then unfortunately it seems surgical strike on apps was a feint to "turn the page" four years later.
Very apt wording but it was not I that introduced the concept of border before boarder (as one author puts it) , iam more pragmatic than I seem, anyway what iam really interested is what was the gain by such binary approach and what will be the gain after this uturn and in my opinion Chinese needn't be sent any signal as trade was/is happening in a brisk pace even with border confrontation.
What was the situation in Manipur , BD & Myanmar in Apr - June 2020 ? Once you've answered that , compare it to what's it today . And these little games of Jaishankar relenting a bit on China just before Modi's visit to Washington or some high profile meeting or statement or gesture by us on the eve of Modi visiting Xi will continue till the balloon goes up which isn't too far off.
.Manipur happened due to our pandering to Americans, by letting in so called refugees under American leli pressure

Manipur happened is because we don't have adequate border security infrastructure in place . Not in Manipur , not in most of the NE if not all the NE ..Manipur happened due to our pandering to Americans, by letting in so called refugees under American leli pressure
.I don't think GOI is a fan of Sheikh hasina ( not withstanding the temp asylum granted) tipping point may have been her threat if you don't China will invest in teesta etc
. regarding Myanmar it's a complex play of various actors including India which strives to maintain its strategic interest
And I don't believe none of this warrants shattering the semblance of protest that GOI was putting up with China while allowing trade to continue.
An interesting anecdote " the so called hot mic incident of Biden"
Biden’s hot-mic moment at Quad: ‘China behaving aggressively… testing us all’
“We believe Xi Jinping is looking to focus on domestic economic challenges and minimise the turbulence in China,” Biden told leaders at the summit while reporters were leaving the venue.
