RC (5Q)- Read the following passage and answer the questions based on it.
India has finally decided not to become part of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership. The decision comes after several years and tens of rounds of negotiations, and is likely to be widely debated. India is now not part of the 15-nation trade bloc — of the 10 Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN), China, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and New Zealand. India has said the deal disadvantages its services and agrarian sectors. It is also worried at the prospect of the country being flooded by cheap imports from China, some routed through the other RCEP signatories. And it is worried about the lack of adequate safeguards. Some of these are justifiable. For instance, the ASEAN China Free Trade Area agreement, signed in 2002, has benefitted China much more than it has the ASEAN countries. India eventually decided to play it safe by pulling out at the last minute from the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership which was finalised by 15 countries in Bangkok.
The pressure mounted on the government and the Prime Minister by interest groups, ranging from farmers, small industries and traders, to political parties across the board, surely played a major role in the decision to stay out of the grouping. The country had little choice but to exit after its safeguard requests were not conceded. On the one side was the looming figure of China in the group and that country’s desperate need to find newer markets for its products in the backdrop of its trade dispute with the U.S. That India runs a massive bilateral trade deficit of $53 billion with China and the fact that China has not taken satisfactory efforts to whittle down the deficit certainly were major inputs in India’s decision. Second, India’s experience with countries with which it has signed free trade agreements till now is not exactly a happy one. Though trade has increased post-FTA with South Korea, ASEAN and Japan, imports have risen faster than exports from India. According to a paper published by NITI Aayog, India has a bilateral trade deficit with most of the member countries of RCEP.
Yet, by not signing the deal, India has missed the opportunity to be part of global supply chains, and closed the door on some trade opportunities in the region — a not-so-easy trade-off for a country that has grown its economy the fastest when exports have done well. There’s more, though. The Indian economy is in the grip of a slowdown now, and the country’s entry into RCEP at such a time would have caused significant pain. It may have meant more industrial distress. And it could have caused more jobs to be lost at a time when enough are definitely not being created. Whatever the reason, the deal is off for now, although India can choose to revisit it at a later date.
For one, bilateral trade agreements become even more important now. India would do well to close a trade deal with the US (which, like it, is also out of big trade blocs). It should also explore trade deals with Australia and other key countries in the region even as it works to close the renegotiation of its free trade agreement with ASEAN. For another, India will have to work hard (and use the time it is out of RCEP because, at some stage, it will have to become part of it) to make its own industry, including small industry, more competitive. It will mean addressing the crisis in the country’s financial sector. That will require agricultural reform. It may require new labour laws too. In effect, it will require India to ensure that its industry and economy are competitive enough to hold their own. Protectionism is good as long as it serves the objective of boosting competitiveness. Thus far, India’s record on this isn’t great. Its high walls have usually served to make Indian industry and the economy complacent at best and downright uncompetitive at worst. That will have to change.
6. With reference to the passage, India’s state has been described as disquiet due to-
A. The downfall in the exports due to opting out of RCEP.
B. Shortage of optimum safety measures.
C. Possibility of India being dominated by low-priced imports.
D. Not being able to become a global power in supplying.
(1) Only A
(2) Both A and B
(3) Only D
(4) Both B and C
(5) Both C and D
7. Which among the following statements is/are NOT TRUE in the context of the passage?
(1) None of the attempts of China to undermine the deficit between itself and India are good enough.
(2) India had no other strong alternative which could be a reason for not opting out of the RCEP.
(3) There is a colossal trade deficit between India and China.
(4) The industries in India have been quite self-satisfied and uncompetitive.
(5) Owing to the uptake in the Indian economy, the nation’s exit from RCEP would have been lucrative.
8. On the basis of your reading, mention the reason(s) behind India’s withdrawal from the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership.
A. Avoiding future furore and complications.
B. Political parties being hostile about it.
C. Pressure on govt. from small businessmen, interest groups, etc.
(1) Only A
(2) Only B
(3) Both B and C
(4) Both A and C
(5) Only C
9. India is supposed to take which of the following steps?
(1) Ensure demarcated competitiveness to avoid unnecessary conflicts.
(2) Involve the US in the trade agreements.
(3) Discuss and reach conclusion with respect to the RCEP.
(4) Understand the importance of bi-lateral trade agreements.
(5) Discover new areas to do business.
10. On what sphere(s) does India need to work to fulfil the prerequisites to promote competitiveness in its own industry?
A. Boosting exports to foreign countries.
B. Signing an MOU with the US.
C. Introducing labour laws.
D. Making a few changes to improve agricultural sector.
