No, the last time you checked, india had half its population living on the streets eating scraps

Source that 50% of Indian population is homeless.

while on the brighter side of Asia, China was sending men and women to the moon and all 1.4 billion people have food on the table and then you look in the mirror and slap yourself until you cry and wish india was not such a failed state.

We don't

Maybe its the Chinese who should slap themselves until they cry and wish China was not such a failed state despite having sending men and women to the moon and all 1.4 billion people have food on the table

Actually, "officially" China is a 2nd world country. India on the other hand is a 3rd world country.

Officially which organization's map is that?

No need for this.

If you are gonna bash China like that just because you are from India (or of Indian-origin) then please change your flags to Indian ones.

After got owned by Chineses and feel so helplessly, now he try to impersonalize as American so he can talk thrash about China and hope to get away without punishment or retaliation. At least a lot of Indians are not his type, they're proudly represent and defend the honor of their own countriy even they live abroad but this one is exceptionally special.

China is still a kid on the starting block。

China may claim to be a “OECD” country when its GDP is twice the US'。

China can finnaly declare herself a “developed” country when its GDP is 10 times Japan's，or at least 3 times the US'。

China，the fast （》8% annual average real）growth of which is more or less assured for the next 20 years， has got a long way to go。

It is rather interesting to see that Chinese politicians and media keep saying China is an underdeveloped country and has a long way to go before reaching the middle-income-country milestone, while the Indian counterparts keep boasting that India will be a superpower soon (if not already).

One thing is common for the two countries though, most ppl in the world don't buy their stories.

You better buy it or else you are insulting the Indians here while China is really an underdeveloped country behind India 40 years.

Don't predict the future so easily. One incident can change everything.

On the topic, overtaking US in trading may not mean that much in reality. It does not indicate that China wins or US loses, since it is not a zero sum game, and much of the profit in these trades goes to the states, Europe and other nations such as Japan and South Korea. The sheer size of the Chinese economy has its own advantage, but it also makes it harder for China to follow the footstep of smaller economies such as South Korea, as it is almost impossible for China to completely fuel its economy by simply climbing up the supply chain.

One good sign is that Chinese domestic consumption is soaring. The Chinese online retailing giant alibaba.com just announced that sales on its taobao.com and tmall.com reached the 1 trillion RMB ($ 157 billion) mark at the end of November. This also give international companies a lot of opportunities, for instance Denmark company JACK & JONES is the only company selling more than 127 million RMB ($ 20 million) in 24 hours on the singles' day through its store on tmall.com, and logistics giants DHL, UPS and FedEx are now permitted to enter the Chinese domestic market to take a big chunk of the share. I've always had the impression that domestic consumption in China, or tertiary sector for that matter, was seriously underestimated, and these recent numbers on Chinese spending power made me further believe so.
