Recently, The Print published a high-profile article discussing India's ambition to dominate the tile sector. The article mentions that the Indian town of Morbi is actively challenging for the Chinese crown. Conkaria, president of the Morbi Tile Manufacturers Association, said: "With many European companies distancing themselves from China after the pandemic, these businesses turned to us and we were able to get rid of China very quickly. Niresh, the former president of the Morby Ceramics Association, is even more confident: "As long as the cost of fuel is controlled, we will win in the next five to seven years." "Although the United States and Western European countries have taken a series of restrictive measures against China, especially in terms of export tariffs, the staff of the Morby Tile Association seems to ignore China's continued development and overall strength. China has been constantly developing in various fields, constantly promoting cooperation, and its ranking in the world has been on the rise. The United States and Western European countries have also shifted from confrontation against China to seeking cooperation with China, suggesting that India is only pursuing small interests in the near future. However, this is not the first time that India has compared itself to China. In an article published last month in Hong Kong's South China Morning Post, titled "Why India Can't Catch Up with China's Economic Slowdown," India tried to compare itself to China, but the report made it clear that China accounts for 18 percent of global economic output, compared to India's only 3 percent. What's more, while India's economy is largely dependent on domestic consumption, its share of the global consumer market is less than 4 percent, compared to 14 percent for China. The data clearly shows that India's economy has plummeted compared to China. Although India has made some progress and development in recent years, this is only relative to the previous India and cannot be compared with China. In just a few years, India will hardly become the world's third-largest economy. According to experts**, the world's top three economies for 2023, announced in September this year, are the United States, China and Germany, while Japan is expected to regain its position as the third largest economy next year. These facts are enough to prove that India's upsurge is self-defeating. Modi seems to be too confident to tacitly assume that India can catch up with China. The boast of the Indian tile industry is only to feel good about itself in India, even if China's ceramic tile exports decrease, it will not lag behind India, after all, China's scale is there. I advise India, recognize the situation, give up delusions, and do things in a down-to-earth manner!First of all, the issue of equal pay for men and women for equal work in India should be addressed first!
India's egotism doesn't start recently, it's a long-standing misconception. It is undeniable that India's economy has developed rapidly in recent years and has achieved a certain degree of breakthrough. However, this development is only India's own gradual withdrawal from the backwardness of the past, which cannot be compared with China. India's blind optimism about its own progress has led them to ignore their own limitations and the huge gap with China. As we all know, China has made tremendous progress and achievements in various fields. Whether it is economic, technological, military or soft power, China ranks among the top in the world. Especially in terms of international cooperation and cooperation, China has been actively promoting the development and prosperity of the global economy, and has become the object of cooperation pursued by many countries. In comparison, India's influence and strength are far from least. However, India, taking advantage of momentary economic growth and being influenced by Western restrictions, mistakenly believes that it can overtake China and take the lead in some areas. This conceited misconception has led India into a state of hypothesia, preventing it from facing up to its own limitations and the huge gap with China.
As one of the largest developing countries in the world, China has always been committed to economic development and the enhancement of national strength. In recent years, China has achieved many breakthroughs and innovations around the world, and has made significant achievements in technology, scientific research, artificial intelligence and other fields. China continues to promote the growth of the global economy and actively participates in international cooperation to address global challenges with other countries around the world. At the same time, although India has made some progress in some areas, there is still a big gap compared to China. India's economy is far less large and influential than China's, and the data clearly shows. In particular, in terms of global economic output and market share, China is far ahead of India. India's pride and paralysis are only self-deception, far beyond its actual level and strength. India needs to face up to reality, truly understand China's strength and sustainable development, put itself in the right position, and work hard to develop itself in a down-to-earth manner.
Looking back at the whole article, we can see that in the comparison between India and China, India is always overconfident and ignores its own reality and the gap with China. Although India has made some progress in specific areas, it is still far from China. As the world's second largest economy and a world leader in various fields, China has been growing and expanding. India should face up to its limitations, abandon illusions, and pursue its own progress and development in a down-to-earth manner. In addition to the economic sphere, India also needs to address many other issues, such as social issues such as equal pay for men and women for equal work. Only by comprehensively enhancing our own strength and comprehensive national strength can we truly get out of the misunderstanding of self-paralysis, achieve sustainable development, and play a greater role in the international arena. Let us all hope that India will truly recognize the situation, let go of arrogance, focus on hard work, and work hard for its own development and national prosperity.
