Trump Tariff War: The growing tariff war between the US and China is once again pushing the global economy towards instability. The US, led by US President Donald Trump, has announced a massive tariff of 104 percent on China, which will come into effect from April 9. This development has not only forced China to respond aggressively, but has also given rise to new political and economic equations on the global stage.New call for India-China partnershipIndia's role is at a decisive juncture amid this entire dispute. Reacting to this situation, Chinese Embassy spokesperson Yu Jing in New Delhi said on the social media platform X that India and China should unite to deal with these global challenges. He said, "China-India economic and trade relations are based on mutual benefit. The US is abusing tariffs. In such a situation, the two largest developing countries should stand together to deal with the difficulties." This statement has come at a time when India is trying to balance between self-reliance and global partnerships in its economic policy. It is clear from Yu Jing's words that China wants to form a common front against America's unilateral policies, in which India can play an important role.China's role in the global economyYu Jing further said that China supports economic globalization and multilateralism. According to him, China contributes about 30 percent to global development every year and is ready for global cooperation to protect trade rules under the WTO.This stance of China shows that it is preparing to form a broad global alliance against America's protectionism - and is looking at India as a strategic partner in it.No winner in trade war

In this dilemma, India will have to make a balanced policy keeping in mind its long-term economic and diplomatic interests.India has an opportunity to give a new direction to global economic policy under Asian leadership.
