India is forging closer economic ties with Taiwan by planning to send up to 100,000 workers there as early as next month, senior officials say, a move that risks angering neighbor China. The workers would fill labor shortages in Taiwan's aging society across factories, farms and hospitals. But the deal would increase tensions with China, which claims Taiwan and has a disputed border with India. While India hasn't ditched its "One China" policy, it has fostered an active unofficial relationship with Taiwan. India's foreign ministry confirmed negotiations are in final stages, though health certification mechanisms are still being resolved.
