They're questionable remarks.
investment =//= trade. China should trade with India, selling industrial goods and buying raw materials as it has been doing, but not investment.
investments, particularly long-term investments such as infras, require stable political/economical environments, mutual trust(at least non-hostile attitude), reliable legal framework and govt policies, and some basic level business ethics, - none of which India has. What investment? Both India's sovereign and corporate investment bonds are rated "junk" statue on the world stage. "Junk" means completely unreliable on not only coupons ('profit") but also initial principle investments. it would be truely idiotic for China invest any long term projects in India, let alone in turn-key sector and other sensitive infras.
Instead I would worry about those unstoppable Indian refugees knocking on China's door in their millions once "India" turns into complete chaos due to 1. economic disaster, 2. mad ideological/religious civil war, and 3. demographic disaster.
??? are you all right, mate?
for the start, there has been minimum level of so called "US and Japanese investments in India" for decades. Both US and Japan has had ultra strong motivations to invest in India instead oif China. For the US, it's more about to counter-weight China geopolitically, whereas for Japan it's more about to diversify its portfolio given "Diao-Yu Isaland" and wider national issues.
Now, where are US and Japanese investments in India?
They are close to meaningless.
This is because they all clearly know after they tried that India is actually an "investment death trap". Had India been a slightly less than that , you would have seen American, European (specially UK - India's old master, and Germany) and Japanese investment tsunami in India for ages.
What's happend? you see most of them either go to China or SE Asia instead. US and Euro "investments" in India are mostly hot money into Mumbai stock exchange making some quick bucks.
Most known big foreign commercial investors in India are having big headaches, either wanting out or being forced out before being raped by Indian legal, bureaucratic or political systems for multi-millions $ lawsuits. have you ever heard about the last outcries of big UK farma firms in India ? Nokia in India? Wall-mart in India? careerfour in India? ...
Japan wanna invest in India? Don't kidding yourself. Just look at size of Japan's interests-dued on its national debt for god's sake. Japan ís even begging for investment into itself right now and it wants to invest in India? Abe is selling hotair to Modi, taking him as a fool. If Xi blindly jumps in with much bigger hard-earned savings, then Xi would become the biggest fool of all three.
investments in India, particularly long-term infras projects = donations to India
India has no money to pay you, mind you.
Most of the time, you take your own banks to finance your entire investments, take all of your related technologies (prepare to transfer them to India meanwhile) , and your experienced workforce, to do entire projects for India for free, in the delusional hope that India would try to pay you back your initial investment in the next 10, 20, 30, or 40 years, let alone "profits". Even India's defence global tenders are more or less in the same line. Those are Indian govt commitments, image what commecial ones would be like.
Meantime, anything, a corrupted Indian official, unfair kickback fees, lack of electricity, an enviromental complain from local NGO, a guy from tax bureau, a pro-longed lawsuit for your "treatment of workers", an investgation into your "unfair" commecial practices such as "dumping" even "spying" activities, ... anything that Indians can think of in the next 10, 20, or 30 years during your investment period, will let you loss both your shirt, and your pant, guaranteed, to essentially make you do all the work for free AND at loss in the end.
You are too green and too inexperienced to know this. The entire society of India is jam-packed with crooks and cheats. Just ask anyone who has some commecial experiences with Indians in India. Some of my friends have. Forget about fantasies of making profits from Indians, just ask them about their basic business ethics![]()
AN ABSOLUTE MUST WATCH!!!!!
