# HISTORICAL BACKGROUND :-
China through its state-backed policies pursued industrialization at a rapid pace
Soon it turned to be a global Manufacturing hub
# CURRENT SHIFT AND REASONS :-
1Labour-intensive industries diversifying their presence towards South and Southeast Asia.
2Global Trade War → "USA-China Trade War" acts as a main reason for this shift.
3China's changing demography
Once the most populous country, now aging rapidly as a consequence of its "one child policy"
4State imposed sanctions by countries like USA → deterring companies investments in China.
In this contextIndia has a great opportunity:
# ADVANTAGES FOR INDIA :-
1Leverage "China + 1" strategy
2Attract industries leaving china through PLI incentives.
3Offers great demographic dividend
[Example: 60% population in age 15-30 years]
4Rise as a global hub
"Make in India, make for the World"
5Capitalize on the built Infrastructure
[Example: SEZs, GIFT City]
# CERTAIN CHALLENGES :-
1Great competition from South east Asia countries like Vietnam offer greater incentives to industries
2Lack of skilled labour
[Example: As per chief economic Advisor - Aravanta Nagswaran51% graduates are unemployable]
3USA imposed counter tariffs pose a threat to new investment.
4Skill gap (@ 30%) (as per ILO)
5Leadership positions
Still rest with males.
6only 13.7% → Women entrepreneurs.
Yet through better policies and diplomacy, India can gain from this shift and attain its goal of ₹5 trillion economy (by 2025)
