China and India have considerable scope for cooperation in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), as their AI capabilities are complementary in many respects, a senior Indian investor told the Global Times in an exclusive interview.
There is considerable scope for AI cooperation in areas that address common global challenges, including healthcare, education, agriculture, climate resilience, industrial productivity and scientific research, always within the policy frameworks established by the respective governments and international perspectives on responsible and secure AI, Mahendra Swarup, founder of VG Capital and former president of the Indian Venture and Alternate Capital Association, told the Global Times on Wednesday.
AI is likely to become one of the defining technologies of this century. India's strengths lie in software development, engineering talent, digital public infrastructure and entrepreneurial innovation. China has developed significant capabilities in AI applications, hardware, manufacturing and large-scale deployment. "These capabilities are complementary in many respects," Swarup said.
The veteran on the front line of India's venture capital investment sector made the remarks amid improving bilateral ties and a certain level of liberalization of Chinese investments in India.
Chinese investors have historically contributed to the growth of several successful Indian companies, especially start-ups. While investment activity has been moderated by regulatory developments over the past few years, there has always been underlying interest in the Indian market because of its long-term fundamentals, Swarup said.
"If the recent improvement in bilateral relations leads to greater regulatory clarity and business confidence, the Chinese investors will once again evaluate opportunities in India, although the general sentiment is one of cautious optimism," said Swarup.
Amid positive momentum in bilateral relations, Swarup noted rising opportunities for entrepreneurs from the two countries to engage in practical cooperation.
There are several areas where entrepreneurs from India and China could potentially complement each other's strengths, subject to the regulatory frameworks of different sectors in both countries, the investor said, highlighting areas including healthcare technologies, clean energy, electric mobility, advanced manufacturing, climate technologies, industrial automation, logistics and supply-chain innovation.
"In whichever sector the complementary strengths of both China and India can be brought together responsibly, they can create value not only for both countries but also for global markets," said Swarup.
India has recently shown signs of easing some long-standing restrictions on trade and investment with China, with Chinese experts saying that the move reflects the country's growing recognition of China's importance to its economic development, and a desire to create a more favorable environment for improving bilateral ties.
There has been a gradual policy adjustment, including easing restrictions on foreign direct investment (FDI) in e-commerce, allowing FDI from companies with Chinese ownership, The Hindu reported on August 1.
With India set to host a BRICS summit this year, Swarup also said that Indian and Chinese companies can work together to promote the interests of developing countries.
India and China are both major economies with significant experience in addressing the challenges of development at scale. Although each country has followed its own development path, there are areas where companies from both nations can contribute meaningfully to broader development across Asia, Africa and other emerging markets, Swarup noted.
There is considerable potential for collaboration in affordable healthcare, digital financial inclusion, renewable energy, agricultural technologies, education technology, infrastructure, supply-chain development and support for small and medium-sized enterprises. These are areas where scalable and affordable solutions can have a significant impact on improving livelihoods, the veteran said.
Partnerships that combine technology, entrepreneurship and long-term investment can help create solutions that are both commercially sustainable and socially impactful. "As two of the largest economies in the Global South, India and China have the opportunity to contribute positively to sustainable development through innovation, responsible investment and constructive commercial engagement," Swarup said.
。 美国总统特朗普当地时间周一表示，美国将于2027年1月1日起，将对从加拿大进口的汽车、卡车、汽车零部件和钢铁征收的关税提高至50%。这是上周末爆发的美加贸易冲突进一步升级的最新举措。
B | 特朗普当天在Truth Social上发文称：“多年来，加拿大一直在占美国的便宜。”他还指责这个长期贸易伙伴实施关税政策，损害美国农民利益。
C | 他写道：“这种情况无法持续，也绝不能再继续下去！从2027年1月1日起，所有汽车、卡车，无论大小，以及汽车零部件和钢铁的关税都将提高至50%。” 特朗普最新的关税威胁意味着，美国对加拿大汽车进口征收的最高关税税率将翻倍，目前这一税率为25%。加拿大此前曾寻求在新的美加贸易协议中降低这些关税。两国原本似乎已距离达成协议仅一步之遥，但谈判于上周五晚间破裂。 目前，美国对加拿大钢铁进口征收的关税已经达到50%。 上周六，美国正式对约200亿美元加拿大商品加征50%关税，其中包括葡萄酒、水泥、冰球棍及其他产品。 如果双方能够达成贸易协议，这些关税原本可以避免，但贸易谈判却在最后关头破裂，双方均指责对方在谈判最后阶段提出不合理的修改要求，并导致协议最终破裂。加拿大总理卡尼指责美国“要得太多、给得太少”，并宣布对美国新加征的高额关税展开全额对等报复。 美国贸易代表贾米森·格里尔周一表示：“我认为，在最后几个小时里，加拿大人他们想要得更多。” 特朗普周一进一步表示，加拿大“以后将不再被当作一个州对待！”他还抨击加拿大称，在贸易及其他领域，加拿大“是世界上最难打交道的国家之一”。 特朗普写道：“他们觉得自己理所应当得到这些，但我们根本不需要加拿大，他们需要我们！他们95%的生意都与美国进行，是我们与他们之间完全相反的情况！”
加拿大汽车市场与美国相比规模较小：2025年加拿大新车销量不足200万辆，而美国销量超过1600万辆。 根据GlobalData的数据，去年加拿大生产的汽车中，仅有5.4%、约86.1万辆出口并在美国销售。
D | 底特律三大汽车制造商近年来在加拿大的汽车产量占比不断下降，而日本汽车制造商丰田和本田近年来则大幅扩大了在加拿大的产能。 特朗普反复无常的关税政策已成为汽车制造商面临不确定性的主要来源之一。由于美加两国汽车供应链建立在自由贸易基础之上，汽车零部件在最终安装到新车之前，可能会以不同形式多次跨越两国边境，从而面临被多次征收关税的风险。
E | 不过，特朗普此次提出的新关税威胁，也为两国重返谈判桌留下了4个多月的时间，因为更高的关税要到明年才会正式生效。 如果这些关税最终落地，50%的关税税率可能迫使部分汽车制造商关闭在加拿大的工厂。美国商务部长卢特尼克所在的商务部负责执行这些关税措施，他曾表示，希望将这些供应链中的很大一部分转移回美国。（文章来源：财联社）。
