According to the data released for the year 2023-2024, India has exported goods worth 16 billion U.S. dollars to China and imported goods worth 101 billion U.S. dollars, resulting in a trade deficit of 85 billion U.S. dollars with China. At the same time, discussions regarding Indo-China relations are taking place with great intensity.
Raja Warring had earlier said that if Congress fields him in the Punjab Assembly elections, he would prefer to take on Bhagwant Mann. But Warring is currently the Ludhiana Lok Sabha MP, and moving to the Assembly would mean giving up his Lok Sabha seat.

राजा वड़िंग ने पहले कहा था कि अगर कांग्रेस उन्हें पंजाब विधानसभा चुनाव में उतारती है, तो वह भगवंत मान के खिलाफ चुनाव लड़ना पसंद करेंगे। लेकिन वड़िंग इस समय लुधियाना से लोकसभा सांसद हैं और विधानसभा चुनाव लड़ने पर उन्हें अपनी लोकसभा सीट छोड़नी होगी। इससे वड़िंग परिवार को लेकर एक दिलचस्प राजनीतिक सवाल उठता है: अगर राजा वड़िंग पंजाब की राजनीति में आगे बढ़ते हैं, तो क्या अमृता वड़िंग लोकसभा चुनाव लड़कर परिवार की संसदीय मौजूदगी को बनाए रख सकती हैं, जैसा कि बादल परिवार में देखने को मिलता है ?
