Xiaomi 1M smartphones

Truth be told, especially for the smartphone market, we cannot escape China’s contribution. Be it any manufacturer (even Apple), they all import product parts from China and only the assembling work is done at their factories. Even most of the “Make in India” setups by Xiaomi or any other manufacturer – entails only assembling work. All the units located in India are doing the assembling work while the manufactured parts are shipped from China. Even if you buy any Non-Chinese smartphone, some part of its profit will still go to China as they are the ones who export the loose parts. Many Chinese manufacturers are taking steps to strengthen their relationship with India by being a part of Make in India campaign. Maybe not for greater good, but it is helpful in generating employment opportunities across the country.

Also, we would like to tell our readers that China is among our top trade partners while India is not even in the top 10 list of business partners for China. Our import figure for China is 60,413.17 Million US Dollars while we export 11,934.25 Million US Dollars for the financial year 2014 to 2015.
