I am a new member to PDF and I am a Chinese. Firstly I read from some news which declaimed that India would surpass China and become a superpower in the near future. I did not know a lot about India before. It made me curious about Indian economy, culture and military. I read a book about India history. I searched some blogs and videos about traveling in India.Then I searched for military forum and I found PDF. I learned a lot from all these materials.
I read some threads and find out it seems that Chinese and Indian in PDF don't like each other much. There are many fights and even personal attacks in these threads. It keep me thinking why. This may be an interesting point to discuss. It's better for China and India to be friends than enemies. I listed some views from both sides, although they may not be true or correct.
From Chinese view:
1) The majority of Chinese have very little idea about India. Most Chinese heard about India from an classic novel “Journey to the West” and the history textbook about East India Company which sold opium to China. Most Chinese even know nothing about the 1962 war. We might think these two large developing countries have at least normal relationship if not partners. However, most Chinese members like me would feel shocked when we realized that most Indian were considering China as their biggest threaten and potential enemy. No one likes to be treated as enemy and that's why Chinese members here dislike India as a natural reaction.
2) Big culture difference between China and India. Indian culture like bragging and boasting. Their most used words are "will" and "plan to". However Chinese culture appreciate humility. We do not like to talk unless something in hand. When the Chinese members laugh at Indian boasting, the Indian members fight back. These actions are considered shameless in Chinese culture. Then the argument will be endless.
3) Chinese think that most Indian are brainwashed by the western media or their radical Indian media.
4) In many Chinese view, Indian cities and streets are too dirty and chaotic. We think India is still very poor. Even the small cities or towns in China is much better than Indian capital or Mumbai. India is far behind China in almost very aspects. These kinds of facts make many Chinese members feel good and look down or even make fun on Indian.
From Indian View:
1) China invaded and defeated India in 1962 and China will invade again in future.
2) China support Pakistan to confront India.
3) Chinese are brainwashed by the CCP education and media.
4) China has a autocratic regime.
I listed some reasons why Chinese and Indian don't like each other. Indian side views are welcome!
I think both sides have some kinds of prejudices. Why not use the explanations instead of arguments and attacks. I wish Chinese and Indian can understand each other more and co-exist peacefully.
