‘Nepal's hydropower can benefit Bangladesh, entire region’

[ety]

Yes, but Bangladesh can source its imports from other countries or produce locally ( which will create jobs in BD) . It is a lot more difficult to find another market to sell to if it loses the US as an export market. The US is a customer and China is a supplier and customer is always king .

Same or better quality and price from other sources other than China ? If so, BD probably did already, trades happen that way for a reason.

Exports and Imports dear. Total trade is useless.
Its the exports that matters.

Lol, you import because you need the products, otherwise you won't import. Are you saying the imported products are useless ?

 

[Hope]

Maybe not as cheap but they can get better quality at a higher price . For exports , if they lose the US, they will not be able to find another market to replace it and factories will be shut down and jobs lost. It is much easier for the US to find another supplier than for BD to find a similar market .

It pretty much depends on cost-effectiveness of suppliers. BDshs are not dumb.

They need to import raw material and parts to make products to export to US. These are important too. US consumers need competitive affordable BD products too, it's two way street.

I am happy to ship textile jobs to Mexico and Central America and prevent migrant flows to our Southern borders

I believe that was the status quo in the 1980s

Wah! You conveniently forgot us.

The world's top 10 largest ethnic groups by population:

Han Chinese (~1.3 billion)This includes people who speak various Chinese dialects, such as Mandarin, Yue (Cantonese), Wu (Shanghainese), etc.

Indo-Aryan (~1.2 billion)Primarily includes people from northern and central India, as well as parts of Pakistan, speaking languages like Hindi, Bengali, and Punjabi.

Arabs (~450 million)Encompasses people from across the Arab world, including countries in the Middle East and North Africa.

Bengalis (~250 million)This includes the population of Bangladesh and the Indian state of West Bengal.

NOTE: We have as many bhayyas as your entire ethnicity. In only one state of India.

Americans of European descent (~230 million)Includes white Americans primarily of European ancestry, mostly from the UK, Germany, Ireland, and other parts of Europe.

Malay/Indonesian (~220 million)Encompasses people from Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, and the Philippines, who speak related languages and share cultural traits.

Brazilians (~215 million)This includes people of mixed European, African, and indigenous descent, with strong influences from Portuguese culture.

Russians (~120 million)Ethnic Russians, primarily in Russia, with significant populations in other parts of the former Soviet Union.

Japanese (~125 million)Ethnic Japanese people, primarily in Japan.

Mexicans (~130 million)
Includes people of mostly mestizo (mixed European and Indigenous) descent.

Cheers, Doc

Bengalis are recognized as Indo Aryans.
Forexample Arabs are Semites.

Indo Aryan is not a single ethnicity but a broader classification.

The point remains that chines imports don't create any jobs whereas US exports do. BD can replace Chinese imports by paying more but they cannot replace US and European exports, where they get significant tariff concessions because of their LDC status, by selling cheaper because there is no other similar sized market that will pay anywhere close ( or provide preferential tariffs to BD) for the same quantity for imported BD garments . The US and Europe are literally handing out money to BD by charging less or zero import tariff than on the same imports from China or India.

Unlike China, the US and west also provide aid ( rather than loans ) to BD.

Bengalis are not Indo Aryans. In fact Bengalis have a strong Mongoloid component in their unique ethnicity, hence of all Indian groups, are recognised as a different ethnicity (along with the obvious north eastern states, but their numbers in comparison are miniscule).

Indo Aryan is what we call the Hindi belt or the Cow belt or the Bimaru states or the Gangetic people.

Indo Aryan also does not include the Dravidian south Indian people, who are more Australoid in stock.

Then BD probably won't make any meaningful profits. American consumers will have to buy those products at higher prices from others too. Americans are no fools.

Then US won't have that much influence in BD if that's what US wants.

Which part of free money being handed over because of tariff concessions and aid that doesn't have to be repaid don't you understand ?

There is no free lunch. Just as US say most favorite trading nation, sounds like giving countries concessions or favors, actually not but just normal trade. Different countries have different trade agreements, if India is unable to secure lower tariffs on textile, that's your problem, India might get better treatments in other areas, you can't take all. US can make tariffs on certain goods abnormally high such as the goods from China and called them normal and fair trade, lol, that's American problem and you Indians are ready to call that too, lol. If US is going to raise the tariffs on BD textiles, it's the American consumers will have to pay the hikes just as in the case of Chinese products because of US trade war.

And no BS, stop worship US:

"During the commission's hearing attended by the leaders of the trade bodies, it was said that the US imposes higher most-favoured-nation duty rates on apparel products than nearly any other sector and factor into the cost competitiveness of source countries.

Bangladeshi apparel exporters are facing one of the highest tariffs at 15.62 percent in the US, which imported more than $116 billion worth of garment items last year. Bangladesh's share stands at 9.3 percent."

US trade bodies oppose tariff hike idea for garments from Bangladesh

Plus, that corridor is within Chinese "cheap" artillery range.

Well, that's what happens when you rely too much on YouTube BS. The Chicken Neck (Siliguri Corridor) is 130 km from China's Chumbi Valley. But what most people don't know is that the Chumbi Valley is surrounded on three sides by India, including our deployment in Bhutan. So, in a real conflict, there's a higher possibility of China losing the Chumbi Valley than of them reaching the Chicken Neck, where nearly 5 million Indians live.
