China Blocked Elon Musk's India Plan? Jaishankar On Delhi's Role In West's Digital Security Focus

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, in this exclusive conversation with Hindustan Times, sheds light on reason behind the cancellation of Elon Musk's planned visit to India, followed by his visit to China shortly after. Jaishankar said that Musk's engagement in China is unrelated to his prospective ventures in India, emphasizing Tesla's already established presence in the Chinese market. Additionally, he discussed the significance of India's 'Make in India' initiative and highlighted the pivotal role of semiconductor chip manufacturers in shaping the future balance of power.

[@rajv9921]

and never expect anyone to generate jobs either . businessman puts everything at risk to make profit and money , the businessman (or woman) do not do it to lose their wealth. so decide first if you want job generators or you want people like Sonia/Rahul/Priyanka/Robert who are mutli billionaires just by looting the public money or you want people like Musk, Bezos, Adani and Ambani. Today each of these are job generators for at a minimum of 100,000 employees directly or indirectly which means at least 500,000 mouths are feeding.

Absolutely wrong, India didnt invest in manufacturing in a large way so the potential is unknown. India produces more quality engineers than any country in the World, go check any sector any reputed company around the World you will find Indians working there. And there reputation of being honest and hardworking are very well known. India even exports young talents and labours around the World, so there are no shortages of either quality engineers or labour force. Today India has just started investing in manufacturing, so tomorrow we will compete with China, a day after we will will be at top. We Indians were the richest nation of the World and we will reclaim that back. You Europeans just sit back and talk crap, very soon all your colonial resources will end, then we'll see who talks more. Stats currently will definitely favour China as you lazy Europeans gave away all manufacturing techs to China only sit back and enjoy, now when China is turning into a monster, you are still playing dirty politics makes me wonder if you are really sane!!!!

I have great respect for Sri Jai Shankar Sir. But, somehow I am not convinced with his reply on Tesla issue. After announcement of his India visit by Elon Musk, there has been continuous bombardment of negative reports by Global Times of China on poor road infrastructure of India and how Tesla cras are a misfit on Indian roads etc. By preventing Elon Musk from committing any Indian projects,China must be trying to have monopoly over Tesla Products manufacting outside of US. Once Tesla sets up shop in India, their Exports from China is going to be affected and hence China wants to ensure no compromise of their interests. Mr. Jai Shankar being a seasoned diplomat may not like to comment on this issue publicly.

China may arm twist Tesla for now but the EV business is only a fraction of world auto sales. There is a lot of room to grow and India is a large market also.

[@aryansharma7824]

The problem is that China is miles ahead of India in terms of infrastructure. Their cities are clean and beautiful. Yes, India has pockets of great infrastructure but also massive poverty and slums. When Westerners visit India they don't parachute drop into these pockets of developed areas. They drive through slums and poor infrastructure to reach these pockets of great infrastructure. So when they see our slums and poor roads and old buildings, it doesn't fill them with a lot of confidence in our ability to manage their investment in India. So until India doesn't significantly develop its poor infrastructure, the West will always prefer China over India.
