China should look for lessons to learn not only from countries better than itself, but across board

They have been doing these for quite a long time.
Officers and scholars visit to various countries from time to time (including India).
However, implementation of the policy or new law is another matter.

exactly. China scholars do lots of India studies and exchanges, the Social Science departments certainly do and publications on comparison studies of China & India is quite popular recent years.

but the anti-corruption related 'policy paralysis' in China & India are completely different, both on the level of degree and actual effects taking place that i doubt India is the best case to study here.

Back to topic, actually China does keep an eye on any successful experiences, including from the less developed countries. Take one example, Muhammud Yunus, the Bangladeshi social entrepreneur. After he got awarded Nobel Prize in 2006, there were huge amount of debates and studies on his work and the Grameen Bank model. China does have tight control on financing industry, probably tightest in the world, and has been taking steps progressively, while carefully, to reform. While doing so, taking reference to whatever experience, success or failure or to-be-confirmed (that includes Yunus' model), is a pragmatic spirit adopted here.

thx for the sharing.

Caste system is the reason India so stable under so much inequality and differences. It prevented so many destructive wars which China had endured. For example, during war time, mobilization is less than 5 percent in India while China had 20%-30%. China had many peasant rebellion and while India did not.

So what works for India may not work for China.

I must say this, the Chinese are afraid on one thing that is 'luan' (Chaos/disorder). Average civil war in China lasted average 30-40 years. Even world war 2 is just 6 years. Political upheaval is extremely dangerous. If China implement something that is unworkable, it would be disastrous.

My insights are limited, I can't compare it to you guys. I do avoid replying, saying wrong things can be unhealthy.
