India is always comparing herself with China

[Chinese-Dragon]

well Indian media is not predicting something out of their a*% my friend...

I disagree completely.

Comparisons are fine, if it is for a constructive purpose.

However, Indian comparisons to China are so often filled with hatred and scaremongering.

So I can understand why many Chinese people would feel uncomfortable with it, when you have Indian media headlines screaming about a future Sino-Indian war.

Pakistanis feel more uncomfortable than Chinese !! even this thread is started by a Pakistani !!

Pakistan are our allies, it is good if they feel concerned for us.

That makes sense. But why can't Pakistan do the same thing about their own country ? Are they filling the void in Pakistan by the achievements of China? Will Pakistan get a share of China's foreign exchange or its growth rate by being its ally?

Clearly, Pakistanis need to get a grip and realise that China is an ally but Pakistan will be on China's good books as long as it does not become a liability. With the ever growing economic concerns in Pakistan and extremism engulfing in all walks of life, Pakistan should be worried about itself. In this game only Pakistan can help itself.

That is their own internal affairs. We can't tell them what to do.

But they are certainly strong enough, to put themselves on the right track, and they have enough economic potential to be very successful in the future. Our job, is just to provide any help that they require.

China has a lot of experience in building up a developing economy, with infrastructure, investment, etc. We can certainly do a lot to help, and in fact Chinese engineers are already in Pakistan, helping with construction work.

When compared to other posts this one is a comparatively derailing one.

No, surely not a crime. But it show India is weak country, both physically and mentally.

Its all about perspective.I often find Vietnamese mentioning SKorea and Japan as role models,I don't consider them physically or mentally weak for that.

 

[Kyusuibu Honbu]

Then why not emulate a place like Japan or Switzerland?

If India was as small as Hong Kong ,maybe yes

The actual size of countries is not that much of an issue.

China (both the mainland and Hong Kong) were inspired by places like Singapore.

Even though Singapore is smaller than both China and Hong Kong.

Did the Singaporeans complain that China is always comparing with us ?

BTW as usual a stupid thread from Hafizzz.

Not the same situation.

China and India are rivals, with an active border dispute.

Like I said, comparisons are fine as long as they they are done in a constructive way.

 

[RoYaL~GuJJaR]

I have always Admired china and its progress,i even have many chines friends on QQ,they are all nice people. There is no harm in comparing with someone who is (specially)your neighbour and doing better then you.

So arent rivals allowed to compare each other? US compared with Soviet and grew, Soviet compared with US and grew and both were blood enemies with lots of active disputes.

BTW you do realise that everyone is being taken on a ride by Hafizzz ?

It is fine to compare. Its within our human nature to do so. We do it, family does it, countries does it. There is nothing wrong with it. So long no one is harmed in the process and there is no ill itentions then it's fine to compare.
If you do not compare with oneself then you will not modernize and grow.

Dont talk facts in this stupid thread mate.

 

[Chinese-Dragon]

It's not whether they are "allowed" to or not. Since obviously there is nothing that I or my government can do about the headlines that are written in the Indian media.

The point is whether or not it is done in a constructive way, or a hateful way. The USA + USSR example you gave was a zero sum game, in which one side was going to fall.
