India's GDP will be bigger than Japan, Germany combined in 4 years: IMF

[Aepsilons]

Dhaka,India HSR is possible but I don't think Pakistan will ever be a part of it
I wish you are correct but I ain't sure

Pakistan is alienating itself from India with each passing generation.......this generation hates India a lot and are not willing to compromise.....and India on the other hand will not negotiate the K thing at any cost but let's just hope what you are saying comes true


Back to the topic

Let's keep the spirit of optimism open, bhai. After-all, if the most vehement of enemies (Japanese & Chinese) can work together and look past historical qualms --- and maintain a bilateral trade of close to $400 Billion per year (and growing!), then there's no reason why Pakistan and India can't do the same.

There is no reason why economic and cultural links can't thrive sans politics.

We cannot say that, what Nihonjin said is right even Pakistan is growing but at a very slow rate and we never know what is gonna happen next, therefore companies are reluctant to invest, people are reluctant but I am sure in future they may do and also lets keep it Hindi not Hindu as its India

As far as Pakistan Japan relationship is concerned I don't expect. Nothing bias view . Because China is more important than Japanese as far as Pakistan is concerned. Ranging from economic to political issue . If China go crazy over Japan then dot get surprised if pakistan disband Japanese trade ... And i don't think Japan will have major investment in Pakistan too

Seriously I use a Fabric in my Furniture which comes from Pakistan :3 and its only found there if that stops you can say my half the customers who like royal stuff will be lost :v so we need the bilateral ties active no matter what. I just a gave a small example related to me, there are many other big things too.

China does, indeed, invest a lot in Pakistan, and they rightly should as they both are neighbors. In context to their national interests. But in regards to Pakistan-Japan relations, ours thrive, and despite fluctuations between Japanese-Chinese politics, relations between Japan and Pakistan have never decreased due to conundrums between Tokyo and Beijing.

That is what I love and cherish about our countries' relationship --- we both maintain a non-interventionist policy, while respecting each other's internal affairs. It is how nations should operate, ideally.

hehe, forgive me for going off topic, my friend. But one thing that i have a new found love for Pakistan and India are the landscapes ! My being a nature enthusiast and a fond hiker , i so want to tour the mountains in Pakistan and India , especially the ones near the Himalayas. Also, the peach tree --- which apparently grows naturally in Pakistan and India --- it reminds me of our own Cherry Blossoms.

it's not BS, it's just that when you read the first paragraph, you think nominal. This article actually means PPP, which India is close right now. India's about 7.2 trillion and Germany + Japan is about 8.5 trillion?

Yea the title deceives. PPP is useless, please disregard her words

There definitely is a paradigm shift for Japan, in regards to investments. For a long time, Japan has focused investments in East Asia (China, Taiwan, Korea), as well as North America and Europe. Now , Japan is reorienting its interest in a vast and largely untapped region: South Asia.

As you may or may not already know, there is a growing economic cooperation between Bangladesh, India, and two countries in South Asia that will be target of greater Japanese investment will include : 1) Pakistan and 2) Sri Lanka.

This paradigm shift has been seen this year in : 1) Japan's pledge to invest $35 Billion in India, and 2) Japan's increaed of auto technology and manufacturing in Pakistan. These are just the beginning , my friend. The future is bright for more investments for South Asia's two great nations.

For comparative purposes here, the cumulative Japanese investment in China (from Deng Xiaopeng to now) exceeds over $900 Billion , not including the grants, and aid provided to China , which would easily put the amount of capital Japan has placed in China at over $1 Trillion.

Seeing as how South Asia is becoming ripe for investment, I believe Japan will tap into this fertile ground. Japan's recent pledge to invest $35 Billion in India early this year is , as i said before, just the tip of the iceberg. South Asia will be transformed for the better. And as all partners work together to exterminate terrorist threats, then the sooner we can expedite the realization of greater investments in the region. Afterall, it is no secret that Japan is planning to move production facilities from China to South Asia and ASEAN.





One has to be pragmatic , my friend. Take comfort in knowing that this year, Pakistan's projected growth rate stands at 4.7%. Remember, gradual and continued growth is better than fast and unstable.

Despite the security risk assessment in Pakistan, despite its war on terrorism, her economy is growing very well. Expect growth rate and investment opportunities to increase as these terror cells are eradicated once and for all.

1. I checked the data of Japan investment to China, from 1949 to 2001, total about 29billion $, based on the data of Chinese Embassy in Japan， and based on National Bureau of Statistics of China, and I sum the data from 2001 to 2014, total about 66.34billion $, and add the 29billion $=95billion $, so more than 90billion $ is possible， 900billion $ is impossible, such as 4.1billion $ in 2009, 4.08billion $ in 2010, 6.3billion $ in 2011, 7.3billion$ in 2012, 7.0billion$ in 2013.

2. during the past 30 years, China got 3.2trillion JPY(30billion $) load and aid from Japan, data from Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and end at Mar 2008， the Funds from Japan is very useful for China, thank you for this funds!! And even the aid end, but Cooperations between China and Japan on environment, energy, education, agriculture are still go on and will not stop

Stop being such a fanboy. PPP is useless between nations. Most goods are universally prices, ex iPhone. Please tell me how something as arbitrary as PP will allow someone in India to by an iPhone if the price is fixed to the USD?

Japan needs to open to investments if Japan wants to be paid back for all the investing over the years. We can only do so much on our side.

By every account if PPP is to be taken as a measure of nation's economic might, China is the biggest, but there's a billion articles that claims otherwise and only like 80% are from Gordon Chang.

Either way, it sure doesn't feel like China has the biggest economy.

It was China's Time back then they grew, It is our time to grow now,Ultimately it is good, All Asian countries will grow and be prosperous, so that the Power Shift to Asia is Consolidated.
Asian Nations dominated the Economy of the world and the world is going through a cycle of Karma.We are going to regain our former positions again.
So don't worry fellow SAARC members and other East Asian Members "You all will have the cake and eat it too"
If one member of a family becomes rich, it will have a spillover effect on others of the family ,Strictly speaking in terms of our cultural values, not Western values mind you.

The reference you provide is partial in nature, @xuxu1457 . The number that I listed is a cumulative estimate of grant aid, loan aid, technical cooperation and funding. Some of the large scale economic infrastructure projects in China include the Sahnghai Pudong International airport construction project, Beijing Capital airport terminal expansion project, Lanzhou zhongchuan airport expansion project, wuhan tianhe aerodome construction project, xi'an xianyang international airport terminal expansion project , the Beijing qinhuangdao railway projcet, guiyang loudi railway project, chongqing urban railway project, beijing subway construction project, datong-qinghuangdao railway project.

The Hangzhou-quzhou expressway, liangping-changshuo highway project, xinxiang-zhengzhou highway project, guiyang-xinhai highway construction projection, heilongjiang heihe-beian highway project.

In terms of sea ports: we funded the qinghuangdao port expansion, qingdao port expansion, huanghua port project, shenzhen dapeng bay yantian port project, dalian port dayao project.

In terms of power stations; we funded the tiangshengqiao hydroelectric power project, jiangxi jiujiang thermal power plant, wuxiangxi dam project, shanhe thermal plant project, beijing shisalning power project.

There are numerous other projects in sewage systems, forestation, air pollution prevention, steel plants, fertilizer plants, many more highway projects, railway projects, airport projects, as well as hundreds of grants to build schools, hospitals all throughout China. Many of which came from private sources, and many others outside the ODA/ JICA apparatus. From 1960s to the present, my friend, Japan has been vested in the development of China, and in fact we were the first foreign source of economic investment before western parties. Even before the 1979 detente , before the 1978 Chinese-Japanese Treaty of Peace and Friendship, Japanese were already involved in trade , investment with China. Not to mention our immense investment in Korea immediately after the Korean War, and of course investment in Taiwan.

the Funds from Japan is very useful for China, thank you for this funds!! And even the aid end, but Cooperations between China and Japan on environment, energy, education, agriculture are still go on and will not stop

Of course it will not stop; pragmatism is a pillar of our foreign policy.

Invest in Japan? Sure ! I would love to see that. I think this will be realized when Japan and China sign the planned Japan-China-South Korea Free Trade Agreement.

The goal is to nurture the Sino-Japanese bilateral trade to hit over $400 Billion, to the $500 Billion per annum level.

Already, we have the largest bilateral trade in the entire Asian Continent.
