India-China parallel rise in contemporary era is ‘unique happening in human history’: S Jaishankar

External Affairs Minister (EAM) S Jaishankar at the 13th All India Conference of China Studies said that India-China’s parallel rise in the contemporary era is a ‘unique happening in the human history’. “The two nations have some similarities, especially of size and history but there is also very interesting contrast in many ways culturally, politically or economically. Both are in the process of building a modern nation-state from a civilized society.

When will Indians realize China and India are not in the same squad

 

[Dungeness]

LOL, "we average to be 10 trillion economy each".

 

[crankthatskunk]

Yeah, India has risen in Jaishanker's back yard, where all the "sea goers" visiting to empty their guts.

Indian's think they have risen, when as a matter of fact, they are sinking very rapidly.
socially, politically, and now also economically.

How Mumbai could replace Hong Kong as the main financial center in Asia – Quartz | FR24 News English

www.fr24news.com

It never gets tired or boring to the ears and eyes of the hopeful Indians. First it was Mumbai to be the next Shanghai, now it is going to replace Hong Kong due to the national security law. There's a big but in the article and that's to build infrastructure so it could compete with Tokyo and Singapore. In Lee Kuan Yew's own words, even he can't fix India.

The similarities are superficial. Too many differences. China can't match India in technology or innovation. It is one thing to build your economy on forced labor, internment camps and sweatshops - another to actually build an economy in a more sensible manner.

China may be well ahead in terms of it's economy, poverty alleviation and development but there is only India who is anywhere to be seen with the same growth trajectory and potential. India are held back by the democratic system, China has had no such issues to deal with. There are benefits to having a authoritarian system and a mostly homogeneous Han society largely devoid of religion. India has diversity and factions within the abrahamic systems that thrive here yet are fundamentally opposed to India.

We're doing well considering that handicap.

It's more like they are in "parallel universe".

Indians talk more, thus "is anywhere to be seen"; Chinese do more, thus it is 6 times India's size.

I see many Indians in US boasted "Largest Democracy in the world". I thought Indians are very proud of it, no?

Do you really honestly believe that? Do you think the Chinese do not possess the capability to innovate as things stand? Do you think they managed to take advantage of the opportunities provided in the last few decades to build their own companies and tech base without possessing the capacity to manage themselves?

How about just a regular conversation instead of the constant trolling ? I outlined clearly the few points that I think have given China a leg up. No democracy, which is a plus in this case. No diversity, and mostly no religion.. all plusses and positives in terms of taking a country of a billion forward.

As a whole I think the Chinese are probably a more industrious people than Indians but there is no shortage of very smart people here. We have a reasonably successful space program, made our own nuclear weapons without stealing or espionage, we have a powerful armed forces, all manner of other heavy and tech industry... and wield significant soft power.

C'mon man (biden).. lets have some better discussions on this forum.

When other members were stating about Pakistanis displaying cringe worthy fealty to China, I thought they were hyping but you showed they are understating.

Yes it is the largest democracy, a very vibrant and spicy one where power really does lie with the people. It's a beautiful thing but has it's drawbacks too.
