And when other. Member were talking about Indians delusion I was thinking They were hyping it but u showed they were understating
He doesn't need to make sense. He just needs to be "
anywhere to be seen".
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.
You seem to be a reasonable person who wants to have a sensible conversation, no like the guy above you who has been talking about "1000000000 Chinese refugees" for years, nothing worth taking seriously. I do hope he is in the tiny minority in your country that will not be a part of positive force to "talk a country of a billion forward".
For the starter, China and India are two very different countries, though both boasting thousands years history, but China has been a single unified country since 200 BC while India as an unified nation is the modern creation of British legacy. Therefore, the identity has never been an issue for Chinese. The same cannot be said about Indians, thus, the slogan of "unity in diversity".
In thousands of years, Chinese have almost always under a central government led by an Emperor, a Son of Heaven. So its current authoritarian govornance system is just the continuation of Chinese tradition and culture.
The modern China (PRC) largely eliminated the social ills and superstisions that plaqued China for thousands of years from the get-go, though through rather brutal revolution, while India still has to carried its historic and cultural burdens on the way to modernization. Case in point, your still live and well caste system (even among IT professionals in silicone valley) and your lack of land reform. So China is more or less redrawing its bluepint in a sheet of clean paper, but India has to do it on an used canvas.
As you mentioned, Chinese are more industrial minded, and I would add, more rational and materialistic as most Chinese believe in YOLO and want to make the best out of this life. In the other hand, Indians are more merchant minded and "spiritual" as many of you believe in Karma which gives them a reason to sit this life through.
Both countries have abundant talents, while Chinese talents shine in China and India's talents shine in foreign lands, as you said, more visible on world stage. Many of your brightest are making living overseas their live goal. So we have a difference in available talent pools for nation building.
The difference goes on. Let's save it for the next time.
