That literally hasn’t been possible from China for two years [1]. It’s also easier to do money transfers between China and India through the U.S., because both have capital controls and both flag large transactions with the other. (I do more business in India than China, but there aren’t many hurdles.)

He's right. India's ED has de facto been raiding Chinese businesses and forcing them to divest to Indian ownership after 2020. For example, MG Motors India is now majority owned by JSW Group, Huawei India (once Huawei's largest R&D hub and their main chip design hub) was forced out of India after the Doklam standoff, and all the Chinese mobile manufacturers were harragued by the ED and sold their assets to Samsung, LG, Apple affiliates, etc.

  > Huawei India (once Huawei's largest R&D hub and their main chip design hub) was forced out of India after the Doklam standoff Yeah, no. Huawei Bangalore was tiny in comparison to Dongguan, Beijing and Shenzhen. And far from being the main chip design hub, barely any hardware specific work happened in Bangalore.
