Most of China’s growth in the past decades has been due to supply side factors and exports, he told StratNews Global Editor-in-Chief Nitin A. Gokhale on ‘The Gist’. He also spoke about India’s growing trade deficit with China and why looking to balance bilateral trade is a ‘bad idea’. Tune in for more.
