    Solution

    China is an investment led economy so it produces lot of goods and services for export market. Thus there will be trade surplus for China. On the other hand, India is consumption driven economy. High consumption is partly filled by imports. Therefore, India is having a current account deficit. If world trade declines, it will more adversely affect China as its export income will reduce.
