India is closely monitoring the increasing Chinese influence in Bangladesh amid its ongoing political crisis, which has led to significant disruptions in trade and travel between the two nations. A Parliamentary Committee report highlighted the prioritization of medical visas for Bangladeshis, reflecting India’s commitment to healthcare ties despite a 90% drop in travel. The report raised concerns over the potential dumping of Chinese goods into India via Bangladesh, leveraging existing preferential trade agreements. Furthermore, India’s responsive trade restrictions against Bangladeshi imports underscore the delicate balance of maintaining economic interdependence while addressing security vulnerabilities, as geopolitical shifts could impact regional stability and bilateral relations.
