As China’s BRI fizzles out, India’s TDC begins taking shape

  • India has launched a new initiative called Trilateral Development Corporation to increase its clout
  • At a time when China’s BRI is almost done and dusted, TDC will further India’s legitimacy on the global stage
  • TDC comes as a development over India’s initiatives such as BBIN and safeguarding other countries from China’s debt-trap

If there is any country which has come close to mimicking 20th-century colonialist aggression, then it is China. Through its now fizzling out Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), China debt-trapped countries into sovereign submission. For the rest of the world, it became necessary to establish stable funding institutions to free them of the Chinese neo-colonialist agenda. Well, as expected India has stepped in with a Trilateral Development Corporation (TDC) fund to help them.

Trilateral Development Corporation

In an apparent answer to China’s BRI, India has decided to increase its clout in the Indo-Pacific region. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has launched Trilateral Development Corporation (TDC) for this purpose. It is a funding mechanism, through which India will ensure that no country requiring investment is forced to take money from predatory institutions like the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

Trilateral Development Corporation (TDC) fund will entail contributions from both private companies as well as sovereign governments. Moreover, the investments in projects will be more in line with Public-private partnerships. The government along with private companies will be investing in sovereign infrastructure projects in the region. These sovereign infrastructures will be laid down in countries falling in the Indo-Pacific as well as other key strategic areas. India, the United Kingdom and European Union (EU) are three main geographical blocks collaborating for the Trilateral Development Corporation (TDC) fund.

Trilateral Development Corporation (TDC) to fund Global Innovation Partnership

In fact, just after its launch, Trilateral Development Corporation (TDC) has already begun its operation. On Friday, PM Narendra Modi and UK PM Boris Johnson launched India’s Global Innovation Partnership (GIP). GIP will be the testing ground for India’s role in TDC. According to a report by Economic Times, India’s contribution to GIP will be channelised through TDC funds.

Trilateral Development Corporation (TDC) funded GIP will spearhead the advent of India’s businesses all around the world. Currently, despite having the financial capacity to invest in various underdeveloped countries (especially in Asia-Africa and the Indo-Pacific region), Indian businesses are not able to make good investment decisions. It’s because they do not have credible information on the right market and right partners to collaborate in the country. GIP will fill this information gap and provide Indian businesses with technical as well as hand-holding assistance. Additionally, in case there is a gap between funding and required capital, GIP will also be providing it with grants and capital investment. GIP will specifically support Indian startups to flourish outside India’s market.

Initially, both UK and India will combinedly pour in $75 million over a period of 14 years. An additional $100 million will be borrowed from the market. It is a fresh departure from earlier models of funding infrastructure in sovereign nations. Earlier models like Line of Credits and grants excluded private sectors and did not allow them to benefit from India’s clout. GIP will change that.

Trilateral Development Corporation (TDC)-A sucker punch to China’s BRI

Trilateral Development Corporation (TDC) is a long-awaited response to China’s BRI. BRI started with a supposedly noble initiative of connecting the world. Through this, China provided grants to lots of countries and in return, it demanded favourable treatment from them. When these countries started to fail to repay, China started to impose its strict terms and conditions on them, effectively undermining their elected governments.

Simultaneously, China has been trying to stranglehold India from all corners. Pakistan and Sri Lanka have already been debt-trapped by China. It was only a matter of time before Nepal would fall into the pit, but a change of guards in July last year resuscitated Nepal from slumber.

India re-emerging as a global superpower

On the one hand, countries were continuously falling for China’s predatory tactics, while on the other hand, they were also guzzling money from India in order to temporarily avoid falling into the inevitable pit. Time and again India came to rescue Sri Lanka which was on the verge of surrendering its sovereignty to the Xi Jinping administration. Similar aids were provided to Nepal as well. However, due to Pakistan’s hostility towards India, the ‘Islamic Republic’s hope of getting any assistance from India is slim.

India has long been working to help countries dissociate from China. Initiatives like BBIN and not giving much importance to intra-Asian initiatives like SAARC have been India’s pillars of resistance to China. Trilateral Development Corporation (TDC) is another feather in the cap of India’s increasing counter to China.
