China has imposed restrictive export bans on essential minerals and machinery crucial for India’s growth in key sectors like renewable energy and infrastructure. By targeting gallium and germanium—indispensable for solar power and semiconductors—Beijing is striking at the heart of India’s renewable energy targets. Furthermore, by blocking the sale of tunnel-boring machines (TBMs), critical for metro and other infrastructure projects, China has escalated its economic warfare.

Donald Trump’s likely victory in the 2024 U.S. presidential election could deliver a crushing blow to China’s economic ambitions, sparking a new wave of trade wars, tariffs, and sanctions designed to curb Beijing’s expansionist policies.
