India Vs China

[Harlot 2]

There has been a lot of fuss over the rise of China with many people claiming that China's economy will overtake the U.S. economy by the year 2050. Nevertheless, the competition between India and China is hardly never mentioned. The fact that China and India are the two most populated countries in the world and that both of their economies are growing like crazy. It was just reported that India's economy 8.9% this quarter. Both India and China are also building up their military might, with India making military deals with both the United States and Russia. I believe that the biggest challenge to China fifty years from now, will not be the United States or Japan, but it will be India. Both China and India are regional rivals and have engaged in conflicts with one another multiple times. If India and China went to war, lets say, fifty years from now, it is uncertain who would win. It is also uncertain if China or India will be the largest world economy in fifty years, but I think that India has a chance to pass China. India's population is already set to pass China's population, and India is becoming more and more economically aggressive. If I had to choose, I would put my money on India. I think that they will be the new big kids on the block in the next few decades, and that the U.S. will probably fall into 3rd place economically, and retain 1st place in military might for another 25 or so years.

Some facts about india if anyone wants to verify can go ahead. Very few indians prefer to pay for online services and they expect everything to be free. Very less donations, purchases from amazon to india are shipped. Not just amazon very few online shops are barely able to keep standing these days. Ebay india removed the promotions and removed affiliate management section from indian division. They're now getting into TV and newspaper ads. Local indian and imported goods perform well. People are aware of low quality products in china and in very rare cases they prefer to invest their time or money on it. There is random market for everything and what and how to predict things about economy is very difficult in comparison to china.Coming to point of war, pakistan attacked india plenty of time and as china and america being ally of pakistan they are not letting india attack back to pakistan for any terrorist activities which are funded by pakistan govt. India's political condition is very poor and one after another scams of policians are coming out. They are even compromising on security of this nation, so i hardly think of india doing any war with any country. They're in same situation like US - being eaten by population, poor politics and public. It's better for both these countries to stop showing off and concentrate on their routine to get back on line.

i think the reason why china and india growing economy is the population of these countries because they make anything with hands and because there is more people for doing these works so the prices decreases. but i think that as all countries in the world are growing in economies so they will not buy hand made stuffs later. i have bought some electronic modules form china that you can see all is made by hand but i have the same module build in germany and it's completely made by robots so if people in future tend to buy high quality stuffs the advantage of population will not be important anymore.

Talking about India and China ..both these economies have the possibility of becoming the superpower of the world..
The style of working of both the nation although differs.
COMPARISON

POLITICAL
India is a democratic country while china is not.But the different strategies are also a function of history. China's Communist Party came to power in 1949 intent on eradicating private ownership, which it quickly did. Although the country is now in its third decade of free-market reforms, it continues to struggle with the legacy of that period-witness the controversy surrounding the recent decision to officially allow capitalists to join the Communist Party.Following the USSR, both countries implemented five-year plans to varying degrees of success. Due to lack of foreign investment, capital controls, centralized planning, socialist policies and other factors the economies never reached their full growth potential.Still the liberalization policies came in China in 1980's much earlier than India which was in 1990's..This shows the reason behind why the GDP of China grew much greater than that of India.The global market was opened for China much earlier which bought a boom to its industrial policies and activities.
The eastern borders of the country India has always been the issue behind the India and China rivalry.China claim for the arunachal pradesh and have extended its efforts to control the place.The issue over the water of the river bhramaputra always has been discussed but is not resolved.Tibet which was part of India is also one of the reason for the rivalry which is unresolved.India giving priority to the monks and the dalai lama over the tibet issue has been a great concern for China.China on the other hand has always joined hands with Pakistan and provides help to the country for the development of the military.
The reason India lacks is that the political condition is stressful and the corruption which creates scams and do not lead to the development of the country..the way it is required.

AGRICULTURE AND INFRASTRUCTURE
India is an agriculture based country but still the country used many old methods for a long time for cultivation while China bought these advanced methods for cultivation earlier.This leads to better quality and high yield of crops which can be exported.
The infrastructure facilities which are very basic and important for the nation are much ahead of India.India started working on its road facilities ..airways etc in the 1990's while the China already had built the world class roads for its country.The airports and other rail services are much better and quick in China if we start comparing..These difference are clearly visible if we visit the Beijing airport and the mumbai airport

POPULATION
Without a doubt, the most notable and consequential demographic trend for the growth of these two billionaire nations concerns fertility.Indias population is growing more than twice as fast as Chinas 1.4% versus 0.6% annually.
Although fertility levels in the mid-1950s were about the same in the two countries at six children per woman fertility rates have declined much faster in China than India, due in part to Chinas one-child family policy. Today, Chinas fertility is below replacement and one child less than Indias 1.8 compared to 2.8 children per woman.

Indias rapidly growing population is projected to reach 1.61 billion by mid-century, an increase of 400 million people over the next four decades.In contrast, Chinas population is expected to peak around the year 2032 at 1.46 billion an increase of 110 million and then begin to decline slowly.As a result, India is expected to overtake China as the most populous country in the world in less than two decades, perhaps around 2028.

ECONOMIC
China's foreign reserve is much higher than that of India..India has just 11% FDI of China's reserve.Chinas public debt as a percentage of GDP is 18%. Indias public debt to GDP is much higher at 75%.
China has the large manufacturing industry which account for 47 % of the total industries of the country.For example, India excels in service industries such as IT, call centers, Business Process Outsourcing(BPO), etc. Agriculture is still one of the major sectors in India providing jobs for millions. Despite the growth of IT and other industries in recent years, agriculture is still the life blood for majority of the population in India especially in rural areas. China has reduced it dependence on agriculture as a major industry due to the explosive growth in the manufacturing sector. As a result of this shift millions of Chinese have been pulled out of poverty.

Yes, One of the main reason for India and China growing economically is their population. Almost all multinational companies found these countries marketing potential, so they started investing in these nations, which results in a good growing economy. But when coming to masses in India, the poor people are still poor and becoming much poorer. Only the wealthy people are developing. In our area there are still many villages which didn't meet the minimum needs like water and electricity. And as mahesh said, our politicians are main reason for this. They want money, whatever happens they will not care. That's why lot of scams are hitting our government these days. There will be no use in this growing economy and development until it reaches the masses in villages. So I wont believe in these paper calculations anyway.And coming to the war, America playing double game with India and Pakistan. When they come to India they will Pakistan should stop terrorism and etc etc.. and they will give millions of dollars to Pakistan's army development which looks insane for everybody. And there has been rumours that China has been supporting Pakistan's army secretly, which indicates that China is feeling India as a threat in future. India has a policy that it will not attack any nation first, but these days our political leaders make it that it will not attack even if some other nation attacks us. god saves our country.

Of course, India will be a super nation and we really hope that does happen a little earlier.The military strength is well talked about and guarding the borders and it will be easier for the country to be in the 1st place if the citizens play their respective roles without fail within the country to make it the best in and out

Yes, but still people are needed to run and take care of all that equipment, it's not like you won't need engineers anymore if the system is working, but calibrating the system and managing it requires quite a lot of personal, just maybe less labor, but anyway, these kind of people who take care of those so called robots usually needs bigger wages/salary than simple workers and you need to constantly update your robots to run your business and all that is resources which isn't unlimited.
