Re: China is many years ahead of India

I can give u figures, China is currently straight away 20 years ahead in INFRASTRUCTURE and that's it !! buddy !! In Military terms, India can defend China but i am pretty sure India cant LAUNCH an attack and that's that !!
in growth and development is exactly akin to the fabled toad puffing itself up and up to become as large as the bull it caught sight of by the pond one day !
When taunted by smaller toads that it still is much smaller than the bull, the stuxpid toad chided them for 'speaking lies' and kept puffing itself up more and more until it burst open all of a sudden !
India refuses to acknowledge or understand that unlike itself, China had passed several basic human development milestones long before it launched market liberalisation in 1978 !
China had completed comprehensive land reforms in the 1960s itself. This measure dealt an epochal blow to the centuries old prevalence of endemic poverty among the very large Chinese peasant class. Bonded labour and share cropping disappeared to be replaced by farming on one’s own land and selling one’s own produce in community markets or better still selling to the state to feed the most successful food distribution system ever created by man.
Starvation, an endemic feature in Chinese rural society in the aftermath of the second world war ravage wreaked by Japan, disappeared completely owing to this state managed food distribution system. Basic education and basic healthcare reached the remotest hamlets in the remotest provinces. In fact, China was spending more than a fifth of its GDP in 1978 on education and health alone.

Admittedly, unemployment and low quality of life was widespread in 1978. However, China had spectacularly and completely addressed the three basic needs of its poorest citizens – FOOD, BASIC EDUCATION and BASIC HEALTH – long before it launched market reforms in 1978. This achievement is something that is still decades away for India even two decades after it launched its version of ‘market reforms’ !!
In other words, terms such as ‘emerging superpower India’, ‘resurgent India’, ‘high-growth Indian economy’, etc. bely the fact that India in 2011 was nowhere near what China was in 1978 in terms of basic human development !!!

But can we trust the Taiwanese Chinese?. After all they are also Chinese and so near to the mainland.

The best way is to raise disputes about Tibet and say that Tibet is not fully autonomous, as it is called autonomous region, even by Chinese. But before that we have to strengthen ourselves militarily and demonstrate our will to stand up to china.

Oaf :
Are you aware that China already has its own missile shield in place ??
And do you know that the Agni missile's ballistics are so basic that they will not even cross the Strait of Taiwan to reach mainland China ??
There are innumerable reports published by the 'Jane's defence weekly' that establish that China is increasingly preparing itself for a potential confrontation with the US !
India hardly figures in their scheme of things as a serious threat perception !!
