Facing Donald Trump's 104% tariff on China, Beijing has urged India to unite against "unilateralism." The Chinese Embassy in Delhi said both nations should "stand together to overcome difficulties," calling the US move a threat to developing countries' rights. President Xi Jinping echoed this sentiment earlier to Indian President Droupadi Murmu. While India's exports to the US could drop by $5.76 billion due to new tariffs, Delhi has chosen not to retaliate. Instead, India is exploring adjustments to existing trade duties. The China-India rapprochement follows a 2024 patrol agreement in Ladakh, signaling a potential thaw since the 2020 Galwan clash.
