India's Hard Work, China's $112 Billion Profit? The BRICS Trap Nobody Is Talking About! 😱🇮🇳🇨🇳📉
India’s trade inside BRICS has surged dramatically, but this massive boom came with a brutal price tag: an overall trade deficit crossing a staggering $226 Billion!
Here is the harsh reality: while factories are popping up across the country under 'Make in India' and PLI schemes, up to 70% of the raw materials, APIs, and micro-components inside those smartphones and medicines are still imported straight from China!
The bottom line? India walks away with just a $25–$30 Billion margin for assembly and labor, while Beijing pockets over $112 Billion straight into its coffers.
