Moving down in HDI doesn't mean we are not better off than 10 years ago, it just means we are not improving as fast as other countries.

There is an American academic study out there that uses satellite imagery to see if GDP growth rates reported by governments are correct. Most totalitarian regimes report 20 to 30 percent higher growth rates. The discrepancy was even higher in Chinas case. They stopped actual growth ( except...

Agrees to what? This doesn't make sense.

This is not going to end well. I guess Part payback to Britain for the sins of colonialism.

The CCP like the Ceaser is above criticism, so save your breath. Just say must be fake news and OP is a b****y Indian. Case closed. China is now fully green. 😁

WOW!!!!!!!:o::o::o:

What I don't understand is why was there no warning that the situation was so dire before it got this bad. And what is the way out? Does anyone have a game plan or they just hoping it all works out.

I may be wrong but as far as I know, no country in modern times has raised their standards of living substantially without being friends of the west or at least seen to be harmless. Including China, no Nixon no growth rate. Maybe Japan...but they got nuked for their troubles LOL.

Bangladesh should continue concentrating on its economy and maintainIng good relations with its neighbors. Continue doing the opposite of Pakistan and you should be just fine.

If i recall, India was the 5th largest economy in 1947 at Independence and is still the 5th largest economy.

Saudi has a genuine problem. They want to wean away from oil . they want to do science and technology, business etc. They got rich the easy way and now its going to be really hard for them . Their youngsters aren't interested in STEM, when they go abroad they mostly do easy business...

I think op forgot the first prerequisite to becoming respected - stop beheading people.

. Saudi was able to stay religious while getting rich only because of windfall natural resources. That option is not available to Pakistan. For Pakistan to get rich would be through science, trade and commerce - all of which require moderate, modern and undogmatic viewpoints. The view points...
