The Economic Survey has stirred a political debate by suggesting that Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) from China could bolster India's global supply chain participation through exports. Despite India's 'China+1' strategy, aimed at reducing dependency on Beijing, the survey argues that inviting Chinese investments can boost India's export capabilities. The government, however, swiftly denied any easing of restrictions on Chinese capital inflows. The ongoing discussion highlights the need for a balanced approach, considering both national security concerns and economic growth.
