China Seeks Indian and Russian Backing for “New” Multilateral Trading System to Counter Donald Trump’s Protectionism
China hopes to win Indian and Russian support in establishing a “new type” of “rules-based” and “multilateral” trade initiative at this week’s Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit. Rajeev Ranjan Chaturvedy, a visiting fellow at the RSIS at NTU Singapore, said India’s concerns about Trump’s protectionist policies “are related to problems encountered by its IT services [sector], the imposition of tariffs on steel and aluminium, agriculture products and intellectual property rights”.
