ASIAN CENTURY: HOW INDIA CAN HANDLE A DOMINANT CHINA

[damiendehorn]

At $39 billion in 2016, India spent only 1.8% of its GDP on defense. China spent an estimated $123 billion in the same year just about 2.5% percent, of its much larger GDP.

So this is from a indian defence analyst? "The author is a Delhi-based security analyst for defense, foreign policy stories.He was also a visiting fellow at the Institute of Chinese studies, Delhi"

China has a GDP of $11,400bn and spends $123bn on defence and the analyst says thats 2.5% of the GDP? ...

Have you ever heard of Vedic Maths?

Lol..vedic math, good one. Anyway China does not spend >2% for military.

India is the one spending more as a % of gdp at 2.5%. See this:

I am abit concerned for India. I visited Hyderabad, Mumbai and Bangalore. The infrastructure is deplorable and poverty is rampant even in urban areas.

What we call poverty is what Indians call 'Vedic wealth'.

Live and let us live should be the policy of two countries.

Sure we may be rivals, but the world is big enough for these to countries.

It used to be centuries ago, but it's no longer big enough. Before reaching for outer space it's easier to exploit/invade weaker countries to steal resources or expand lebensraum.

The age of invasion and steeling resources is decidedly over. The new age will bring "the reappropriation of the right to self-rule". Most of the muslim world will be deemed unfit for self rule and hence will be governed by foreign administrators for the good of the whole world.
I mean its a possibility.

No it's not - it's just done differently.

China is the world biggest trader, industrial and manufacturing nation, devours almost half of world major raw materials and so on, why only eyeing for Asia?
