• Create one website window for all the industrialists, small-scale entrepreneurs (To solve any kind of manufacturing items or business concern) and this matter must be direct to IIT, IIM professors, and other eminent Economist/Scientists to resolve this issue at the earliest convenience.
Now it’s high time that the Indian government must stop using all Chinese goods with immediate effect. We have got excellent engineers from IIT and India has skilled workmanship I strongly advise to train youngsters properly to make all electronic goods and other machinery at a reasonable price and in best quality than china. Make compulsory subject to make electronic items starting from school as European Union and other nation does. This would help Indian citizens to get jobs and improve our Indian economy. Please boycott Chinese goods permanently as china has voted against India in United Nation on the question of terrorism and has supported Pakistan openly. Every citizen of India should do it in the National interest. You may also join. Your small step will become a movement.
• Very Soon Industrialist Like Ratan Tata, Ambani, Mahindra, Birla, Godrej must manufacture all the items in India in order to boycott permanently all the chinese items such as electronic items like Mobile phones, Computer, Laptop, Textile machines, Silk made clothing, chemical products.
• Indian government must start giving training to all the poor people starting from teenagers regarding all electronic made items, Machines, welding, and the rest of the essential things. In the future, we must rule the world and not depend on other nations.
• Indian government must make obligatory to provide training to all students in the college, schools pertaining to all electronic made items rather than to depend on other nations like china.
• We could ask China to temporarily start its own factory in India so that we can impose huge taxes on all its goods and we could get employment in India. In the end Soonly, we could establish our own Indian-made products in a couple of years then we shall ban all Chinese products, and then India might not be dependent on any other country regarding the production of any items. I am sure this step would help us.
