Ansari was accompanied by Commerce Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, who, during her stay, signed an agreement allowing China – without any quid pro quo – to establish industrial parks in India. This will exacerbate existing imbalances in the bilateral trade relationship – China currently exports to India three times more than it imports from the country, with most of these imports being raw materials –thereby exposing India to increased strategic pressure and serving China’s interest in preventing India’s rise as a peer competitor.
与安萨里同行的还有商务部长西萨拉曼（Nirmala Sitharaman），访问中国期间，她签署了一份协议，允许中国在不做出任何交换条件的情况下在印度建立工业园区。这将加剧现有的双边贸易关系失衡——目前中国对印出口是其从印度进口的四倍，其中大部分进口品是原材料——从而让印度承受更大的战略压力，阻止印度成为旗鼓相当的竞争对手，令中国受益。
