NEW DELHI: India needs to follow the Chinese e-commerce model rather than following the US model for effective taxation and integrating small vendors, especially in rural areas, suggested a noted economist Arun Kumar on Friday.
Unveiling a book 'E-commerce and GST in India' written by senior economist Astha Ahuja here, he said, "India needs to follow the Chinese model of e-commerce. They were implemented in the context of their culture. It helped connect with the rural economy and small vendors. But we are following the US (American) model".
