#Post 22 : Boycott Chinese Goods

Currently the situation between India and China is not good on the border. This is the reason why the confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) on 16^th June has decided and mentioned that they are going to boycott 500 “Made in China” products.

The products include furniture, textiles, cosmetic, gift items, electronics, fabrics, kitchen items, watches, toys, hardware, apparel, auto parts etc., which are being boycotted by the CAIT, News-18 reported.

CAIT has mentioned that we should boycott above mentioned Chinese goods and instead of that we should use Indian goods. In the initial phase the body has said that they have set the target to meet the shortfall of $13 billion (Rs 1 lakh crore approx) in imports from China by 2021 December. The first phase has focused on the products that can be made in India but the price has been deciding factor when importing.

CAIT National President BC Bharita and National General Secretary Praveen Khandelwal said that there is no need for any special technology to manufacture those items. The goods can be easily manufactured in Indian and it can be the substitute of the Chinese imports which will reduce the dependency on China for those goods.

At this point of time, the goods which need particular technology have not been mentioned in the list. The items which require specific technology are barred from the list until alternative technologies are made available in India or have any substitutes from its friendly nation.

Further, CAIT is also seeking to raise the concern with Commerce and Industry Minister, Piyush Goyal, to provide support and assistance to small scale industries, entrepreneurs and startups so that it will help the domestic manufacturer to uplift the economy.
