<h1>Trade deficit reduction: diversify exports and tackle market access and non tariff barriers to China.</h1> India's trade deficit with China is attributed to China's competitive manufactured exports supported by subsidies, India's reliance on primary products, and limited market access including non tariff barriers. The Government's response focuses on export diversification into manufactured goods, bilateral market access negotiations via the JEG, promotion of Indian participation in Chinese trade fairs, utilisation of Market Access Initiative and Market Development Assistance to build business links, and sectoral MoUs and industrial park cooperation to encourage manufacturing investment in India and boost exports.
