Title: India, 20 years of economic overtaking, can we still hold on to the opportunity?
Recently, India's economy has frequently made headlines in the global economic hot spots, triggering widespread discussions. However, we can't help but ponder the question – can India surpass China in the economic arena and seize the opportunity?
This question is not groundless, but is based on reality. We can safely say that India's economy has indeed made significant progress, but there is still a huge gap compared to China. How big is this gap? Is it really more than 20 years old? Let's travel back in time and look back at China 20 years ago.
Twenty years ago, China's economic landscape was simply a picture of poor technology and lack of brands. At that time, our existence was just a processing base of other countries, blindly relying on foreign technologies and brands, without any shadow of independent innovation. Technological innovation? That's a fantasy, not to mention technological advancements. More than 20 years ago, China was only an industrial processing base for developed countries such as Europe, the United States and Japan, but India's economy now seems to be quite similar to China's economy at that time.
In a seemingly short period of time, India has also followed the model of China, vigorously attracting foreign investment, and has become someone else's industrial processing base. However, behind this rapid development, India also lacks technology, branding, and innovation and technological progress. History seems to be repeating itself, and India is in a similar predicament to China's economy more than 20 years ago.
This resemblance is not a coincidence, but a re-emergence of the law of economic development. India's rapid development is still stagnant in a cycle of imitation and dependence. Although compared to China, it is true that the gap between India can reach more than 20 years, or even longer. This gap stems from India's economic development path, which is very similar to that of China in the past. India's current situation seems to be yesterday in China, but it is still stuck in the cycle of the past.
However, we cannot ignore the fact that the 20-year gap is not out of reach. Especially in today's era of rapid development, India is expected to surpass China in a decade or even a decade to achieve corner overtaking. This possibility has undoubtedly triggered us to think deeply about the future. Should we sit back and watch the gap widen, or should we actively respond to the crisis and turn it into an opportunity?
For China, it is imperative to be prepared for danger in times of peace. We need to take our own shortcomings seriously, work hard to promote technological innovation, and cultivate brands to ensure that we will stay ahead of the economic competition with countries such as India in the future. The times are evolving, and we must not stand still, but should catch up and move towards the future with a more confident pace.
So, thinking deeply about the 20-year gap behind India's economy, we can't help but worry about China's future, and call for action more urgently. In the lens of history, we see ourselves 20 years ago, and in the lens of reality, whether we can meet our future selves may be a more urgent question.
However, let's not forget that the Chinese have always been brave fighters. Twenty years ago, we may have thought of an industrial processing base, but we weren't satisfied with that. It is in other people's technology that we gradually emerge, step by step to achieve technological innovation, and cultivate our own brand. We are no longer the spokesperson of "made in China", but the creator and leader.
Perhaps, India is going through the path we have traveled. Their current situation, just like we did more than 20 years ago, is dependent on foreign capital, lacks brands, and has limited technical level. However, this is also their opportunity. Just like China in the past, India can stand on the commanding heights of the world economy by absorbing foreign experience, strengthening scientific and technological innovation, and breaking down technological barriers.
We are not indifferent to this, but we feel that time is running out. Today, China has been reborn and has become the mainstay of the world economy. However, that doesn't mean we can slack off. The rise of India is not a threat to us, but an incentive. We must demand ourselves with higher standards and pursue higher goals. In terms of scientific and technological innovation, we must be at the forefront of the world; In terms of brand building, we want to create China's own brilliance.
We must be prepared for danger in times of peace, and we must meet the challenges of the future with the determination of change. We need to deeply integrate into the global industrial chain, continuously improve the level of core technologies, and promote China's economy from big to strong. At the same time, we should also be good at learning from the successful experience Xi of India and other countries, and embrace cooperation with a more pragmatic attitude.
For China, this is not only an economic race, but also an opportunity for comprehensive self-innovation. We can't stay in the glory of the past, and we can't be complacent because of a short-term lead. India may be catching up, but what we have is not only experience, but also the spirit of struggle, the indomitable will to rise in the face of adversity.
Standing at the node of history, we must face the unknown future with firm confidence. The rise of India's economy is both a challenge and a strategic opportunity. Only by continuing to carry out profound reforms with a more confident attitude can we remain invincible in the fierce international competition.
At this critical juncture, we need to work closely together and work together. Every Chinese is a participant and witness of this great journey. We have the ability to compete again in the future because we have that indomitable fighting spirit, which India does not have. Let us have dreams in our hearts, stand up, and create a new glory for China's rise!
