Global geopolitics is witnessing a major shift as India positions itself for what is being described as the “Mother of All Trade Deals” with the European Union. This development comes at a time when United States President Donald Trump has intensified tariff pressures and sanctions on several nations, including India.

Factory wages in China have climbed close to eight dollars per hour, far higher than those in Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, and India. By cost logic alone, China should have lost its position as the world’s manufacturing hub.
