India, China growth race 'silly', says Nobel winner

[GUNS-N- ROSES]

@card sharp, thats why i said there is something known as line of actual control LAC. both sides should stick to it.

personally, i dont see much in that. i think its jus pressure tactics from chinese on india to resolve border disputes fast.

 

[Agnostic_Indian]

who told you china violated the line? indian media. can you trust them?

this is as per indian army's documents.and the chief explained that these are not big issues, but still a concern. china is aggressively patrolling the borders and often threatens road builders.border incursions are not big issue as it happens because there are still gray areas or no mans land and it happens mostly there but threatening village road builders is big concern for us.

If you like to think there is a LAC you can, but there isn't. There still exists major overlaps.

Here is a good conference with Indian, US and Chinese scholars on that very issue.

I'm just a little fed up with the India media's alarmist calls of "CHINESE TROOP INCURSION!!", fact is both sides patrol into the dispute area regularly.

Chinese people are more concerned about USA and Japan and Korea, not India, because we are East Asian.
China gov is more concerned about Diaoyu Islands and Nansha Islands, not South Tibet, because it has oil, and South Tibet only fruits.
Indian media is find trouble for its own.

Whats the difference people compare economic statistics to compare china-india and Amratya sen used human index statistics to compare the same.So both way its same only one using either of the statistics to prove others wrong.

 

[Roybot]

He didn't say it's wrong to compare gdp. He said its silly. Which it is. GDP has become more of a bragging tool for internet warriors.

Unlike China India's economic development has largely bypassed the poor, as a result we still have one-third of world's total poor. In that sense China is 'luckier' since they don't need to worry about vote bank politics!

 

[Skull and Bones]

To be honest, most of the Indians admire what China has achieved in all these years.
It's some stupid media, spreading baseless news just to attract some attention and increase their TRP.
It's hard to satisfy our creed for a growing economy but we still acknowledge that matching China in near future in impossible.

My "favorite" Indian newscast is: "India successfully tests new missile that can reach Harbin". Then you see the missile launch and a map of China with little explosion symbols at Harbin, Beijing and Shanghai. When I saw it on you YouTube, I couldn't believe this type of journalism. In the US, if a news network did that to any country somebody would get fired or forced to resign.

99% agree with this article.

India cannot be compared to china now. fortunately or unfortunately, China has left India far behind...something indian should realize and stop believing indian government so called 9.0 digits growth.

Dear Sir,

YOU DIMWIT! That's precisely the point Sen is trying to make. It doesn't matter where we are, vis-a-vis them, what matters is what we are.

Thanks for holding still,

Oh yeah.

But your Chinese newspaper also published that.

Yesterday I suddenly saw General V. K. Singh, COAS, being interviewed by Major General Ashoke Mehta (retd.) on a programme called Defence Watch. The General explained the border "incursions" in the simplest possible manner. He pointed out that there was a disputed border. He explained that there was a line of actual control, but it wasn't very helpful, because it had been done by the Chinese side on a 1:1,000,000 map; on the ground, there were wide variations. As a result, the Chinese side had its perception of where the line was, the Indian side too had its perceptions. Both sides with the full knowledge of the other patrolled up to the point perceived by it. These were, therefore, not intrusions but transgressions; neither side took notice of it, recorded it or felt particularly tensed by it.

It was certainly a clear and logical explanation.

India's new missile is able to attack China's Harbin - People's Daily Online

Yes, but it's different when a countries own media does it as a warning to itself. The US Media will show graphic of North Korean missile hitting Alaska but never US missile hitting North Korea or Beijing. Never.
