Answer to Question 1

India points out that the world's rich economies used the environment in destructive ways in order to reach their current levels of high income. Asking middle-income countries such as India and China to make sacrifices in energy consumption and GDP growth for the sake of future generations is, in their view, somewhat hypocritical. Better, India argues, for the world's rich countries to make sacrifices, particularly since they generated the majority of greenhouse gases.

Answer to Question 2

While China exports more services in total, it has a trade deficit in services and is primarily made up of transportation and travel services. India has a trade surplus in services, which primarily comprise information services and other business services, and this area is growing rapidly for India.
