On November 13, the General Administration of Customs of China announced that the new crown virus had been detected on a batch of samples of frozen cuttlefish exported from India to China, and from now on, the Chinese side will suspend the acceptance of import declarations of Indian aquatic products with the registration number for one week, and the Chinese side has also informed the Indian side on this issue, requiring rectification, and decides whether to lift the import restrictions according to the actual situation after the end of the week.
For the Decision of China Customs to suspend seafood imports, the Indian media are very dissatisfied, some media in the report accused the Chinese side of unreasonably suppressing Indian goods, Indian officials also asked the Chinese side to give an explanation, in fact, during this time, The Chinese Customs has repeatedly found the new crown virus in imported aquatic products, in order to prevent the spread of the new crown virus, the customs has strengthened the quarantine work of imported products, so China's emergency suspension of the import of Indian aquatic products is out of the need to ensure the safety of consumers, and the Indian side needs to fully understand the quarantine work of the Chinese customs.
The reason why India is alarmed by the decision of China Customs is that it is worried about losing the Chinese consumer market, China has always been one of the main exporters of Indian aquatic products, only in the first 11 months of 2019, the trade volume of Sino-Indian aquatic products reached 1 billion US dollars (about 6.6 billion yuan), if China suspends the import of Indian aquatic products, then India's 6.6 billion export market will be adrift, which is the most difficult for relevant Indian enterprises to accept, they are more than the Modi government hope that China can raise its hands.
In fact, this blind complaint can not impress the Chinese side at all, relevant experts believe that if India wants to continue to export aquatic products to China, it must strengthen export quarantine measures, and effectively control the domestic epidemic, as of now the confirmed cases of new crown pneumonia in India have risen to 8.68 million, the Modi government has chosen to break the can for the epidemic, and has not promulgated effective prevention and control measures, in this grim situation, China can not release imported aquatic products from India, china must strictly ensure the safety of consumers' consumption.
In addition to doing a good job in export quarantine measures, India should also stop the unreasonable suppression of Chinese enterprises and their commodities, strive to repair Sino-Indian relations with the Chinese side, and create a good environment for the common development of the economy and trade between the two countries.
Judging from the recent actions of the Modi government, India has not taken the initiative to repair Sino-Indian relations because of China's countermeasures, and Modi is still insisting on harming the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises and individuals, which will lay hidden dangers for the Indian aquatic products market, and the Ban on Indian aquatic products by the Chinese side may continue to be extended in the future. In the post-epidemic era, only the Chinese economy has achieved its own independence, which means that after the loss of Chinese demand, India's aquatic exports have found new customers, and the Modi government must understand that only by catching the express train of China's development can the Indian economy recover.
