Why does India like to compare with China, but China doesn t care about India?

Why does India like to compare with China, but China doesn't care about India?This is a question asked by an Indian netizen on a foreign Q&A network.

Previously, they were indeed stronger than us, and they wanted to invade our borders by relying on their superiority, but as a result, we fought from the invasion war to the defense of the capital, which made all the people of India puzzled, and they also seemed to have activated some kind of gene. With the hard work of the people in recent decades, China's rapid development has taken on a new look in terms of economy, construction and education. It has become the world's second largest economy and the third largest military country. In recent years, many Indian bloggers have come to China, and what they see is beyond imagination. They found that when India was still comparing China with China, they were more engaged in exchanges and cooperation with India. China doesn't seem to care about India at all.

On the foreign Q&A network, some Indian netizens raised such a question:Why does India like to compare with China, but China doesn't care about India?After the question came out, it also attracted countless netizens to watch, and today we will take a look at what they said.

The foreign netizen named Umair Usman, who graduated from the University of South Wales and went on a business trip to India, said:

If you mean that China sees India as a threat or a country not worth comparing to, then the reason is simple. Talk to any of me with the Chinese. For the vast majority of them, India is a low-income country full of poverty and misery. This is how ordinary Chinese think of India. I've worked with Chinese business people who travel to India, but they never eat outside the hotel or just go selectively because they feel it's too "unclean". Just a bird's-eye view of Shanghai and comparing it to Mumbai, it doesn't take a genius to figure out why. Keep in mind that China is a middle-income country (think Turkey or Mexico), while India is a low-income country (think Pakistan or Bangladesh).

The foreign netizen named Fellcor seconded the proposal:

The reason is simple. People go up, they don't say look down.

The second place will have first place or championship as his goal. **Their matches**, training regimes, or any information that beats them.

Champions may seek other champions in other leagues to improve themselves.

But never bow your head for inspiration or progress.

The Chinese netizen named Jamie Wang, who studied at the Glion Institute of Higher Education and lives abroad, said:

I mistakenly had high expectations for Indians.

The comment section is just showing your pathetic.

Most Indians are just trying to attack me personally, to attack China, or just to claim that India has won.

Hardly any of them can have a suitable argument.

When you change the way you calculate GDP, China is still using the method of the 90s, which comes out with low numbers. India lags far behind China in terms of actual production, such as steel, electricity, food, etc. India has not taken any real action, but has only changed the reference standard, just like the United States has raised the standard of obesity so that there are fewer people who lie to themselves that they are obese. (PS: It's a bit like the epidemic when Trump claimed that if you don't get tested, you won't be infected).

I keep seeing people all over the world say that India has more potential than China because it feels like India starts low but ends up high.

For some reason, these people completely ignore the fact that China has been growing in the double digits for quite some time.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, China's railway mileage has increased from 2More than 10,000 kilometers increased to 15More than 50,000 kilometers, including 4 high-speed railways20,000 km.

In the meantime, look at India, which has been in India since 194780,000 increases to 6. in 202380 thousand.

Unlike GDP, infrastructure is difficult to adjust or fake.

To make India's GDP look good, Modi changed the calculation twice, in 2015 and 2018.

India, on the other hand, counted slum shacks in the market** and cow dung in GDP, and re-set a growth baseline from 2005 to 2012. Because 2012 was weaker.

In China, vendors and house rents are still not included in GDP.

India's electricity consumption increased by 8% or 10% in 2022, compared to China's 36%。

However, China's actual consumption was 8,637 TWh, compared to India's 1,390 TWh.

This means that China's real growth is 8,637 36% 311 TWh, India's real growth is 1,390 10% = 139 TWh. China's real growth rate in 2022 is about 224 times.

China actually attaches great importance to India because India has the ability to cause trouble for China.

But China will not see India as a strategic competitor because India is doing things that cannot be taken seriously by other countries.

There has been talk of India's potential, including how its democratic system will support its development in competition with China. In my opinion, this is just a way to make Indians feel bad about China, to give them the confidence to make trouble for China. My suggestion is that India should really start doing the hard and real work and not making more man-made spectacle. Modi's invitation to the United States does not mean that the United States will do everything to make India a superpower. The United States only wants India to act as a gunman to provoke China and delay China's development. Once the goal is achieved, India will soon be abandoned and suppressed by the United States.

This Chinese Renmin University is now engaged in ** editor-in-chief named shou'en li's Chinese netizen said:

India does like to compare itself to China, but China doesn't care about India.

China cares about India in many ways. Both countries are great civilizations, both have nurtured splendid cultures, and both have friendly people. Moreover, both have a large market and are now taking technology ...... very seriouslyThere is also a lot in common.

Of course, no one can deny that there are also differences between the two neighboring countries, the most difficult of which is the border issue. In addition, the close relationship between China and Pakistan is also a thorn in India's side.

So why does India like to compare with China?

In general, everyone has their own dignity and the hope of pursuing good things.

The same is true for a country.

Then think about it. Imagine you're in a class with dozens of classmates, and if you want a better version of yourself, compete for a better college or university, and work hard to achieve your dream of living with dignity, will you compare yourself to the last person or those who perform better?The latter, right?

Then, in the latter group, let's say you're now around 20 in a class of 50 people. So who would you compare yourself to?The most powerful one?Or is it between 10-20?Or the latter, right?

By the same logic, will those who are in the 10-20 rankings compare with those who are lagging behind?Or will they focus on those who are between 1-10?

Do you understand the logic?

China prefers to compare itself to the United States in order to motivate itself to achieve greater and further development.

However, I feel that it is time for India to compare itself with the United States.

The Chinese netizen's analogy has aroused praise and recognition from countless people, and one of the Indian netizens, Sanniv Bhaduri, commented:

It was such a concise and dignified answer that brushed through all the main questions. But understand the pain of the stab in the flesh....This is a great corollary!

Regarding this kind of Indian topic, how can there be no comrades who are in the war, this Chinese netizen named Man Feng said humorously:

First, China must dismantle all public toilets. Second, China must allow people to sit on the roof of high-speed rail cars. Otherwise, how could China overtake India?

The Chinese netizen, named Jiangjunling, who previously lived in India, said

I am Chinese, I have worked in India for a while, I have been to some cities and villages in India, and I personally believe that in the next 10 to 20 years, the gap between India and China will not get smaller and smaller, it will only get bigger.

First of all, India has missed the opportunity to industrialize.

From the end of the Cold War in 1989 to the outbreak of the global financial crisis in 2008, more than 20 years have been the leading period of global economic globalization.

In the past two decades, the developed countries of the West have shifted their manufacturing to developing countries, and China has seized this opportunity, while India has not!

After the subprime mortgage crisis in 2008, Western countries have felt the dangers of the hollowing out of manufacturing and have strictly controlled the outflow of manufacturing.

That's when India started focusing on manufacturing, but the good times won't come again.

In recent years, India's manufacturing industry has developed, and foreign capital has also entered India. However, foreign investment in India today is very different from foreign investment in China.

The purpose of foreign investment in India is to seize India's domestic demand, and the purpose of foreign investment in China is not only to occupy the Chinese market, but to meet the needs of the world!

Foreign investment in India is more to meet the market access requirements of India, and it is easy to judge that India-made products are not globally competitive, and it is difficult to see any Indian-made products outside India.

Second, India may miss out on the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

Many people refer to breakthroughs in high-speed communications, new energy, new materials, life sciences, artificial intelligence and other fields as the fourth industrial revolution.

But Indians are still keen on IT and have invested very little in the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

I'm not saying that India doesn't invest, but very little, less than a tenth of China's.

In the future, the level of science and technology will determine the strength of a country, and even the fate of a country.

3. India's environmental crisis

As a Chinese, I have witnessed first-hand the destruction of China's environment by industrialization.

It's easy to damage the environment, but it's hard to repair. Today, China spends far more annually on environmental protection than it does on education and military combined.

But it takes generations to fix the environment, and some will never be able to fix it.

Unfortunately, I have seen similar environmental destruction in India, which has a higher population density and lower environmental carrying capacity than China.

India must address environmental issues, which can lead to social instability and unrest.

Fourth, India's education crisis

Especially the inequality in education, in my personal case, 20 per cent of the people in India are well educated, but the other 80 per cent have poor quality of education and environment.

Inequality in education leads to inequality in the development of life, and India should pay special attention to the quality of education for the masses and invest heavily in it.

There is more to answer as to why India likes to compare itself to China, while China never cares about India. The views and opinions expressed in these answers all express the principle that people go to high places and water flows to low places. In the eyes of many foreigners, thousands of years of cultural inheritance of Chinese have made them a very intelligent group. Cooperation, development, mutual help and mutual benefit are the ultimate meaning of mankind.
