This marks the first time India has pivoted away from a U.S. alliance specifically due to punitive tariffs (50%), choosing instead to strengthen ties with rival China despite their deadly 2020 border clash. The unprecedented economic pressure has forced a reversal of India's previous pro-Western stance, demonstrated by Modi being among the first leaders to visit Trump after his return to office.

📰 What Happened
India and China are moving to restore economic ties after U.S. President Trump imposed 50% tariffs on Indian products in 2025. The reconciliation includes resuming commercial flights suspended since COVID-19 and the 2020 border clash. PM Modi plans to visit China for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit, his first visit in 7 years, to meet President Xi Jinping. The shift follows Trump's criticism of India's economy as 'dead' and trade barriers as 'obnoxious,' pushing India closer to BRICS allies.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The 50% tariff trigger point forcing India eastward aligns with prophecies of kings from the East (Rev 16:12). This specific economic threshold has created an unprecedented BRICS consolidation, with India choosing Eastern alignment despite recent military conflicts with China. The Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit in Tianjin represents the first formal Eastern bloc gathering responding to Western economic warfare, fulfilling Daniel 11's prediction of kings of North and South engaging in economic warfare. Modi's first China visit in 7 years symbolically marks India's prophetic repositioning toward Eastern powers.
