    Solution

    Solution: Here, ‘even though’ is incorrect. It is used for things that has already happened. Here, China has not said that they will reduce the tax, but they might say it. So, the action has not happened, but is predicted to happen. So, ‘even if’ is correct here. India will not export the raw materials to China even if China might say that they will reduce the levy on imported goods.
