Why Can't India Compete with China?  

I am Chinese, but I don't think India needs to compete with China, it is good that India can develop, and I don't even mind if India surpasses China,As long as he can make the world a better place

Compare the number of Olympic medals between India and China, and you will understand that there is no need to compare with India

I grow up in China in 80s. Back then, what we hear from the government is "We are very very very poor, compared with USA, Japan, and EU"... nowadays, let's be honest, India is a dirt poor country, but everyday Modi is telling "We are so rich, advanced, one of the strongest country in the world!! "

Dreams. 100 years still cannot catch up with China.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

India is all talk, talk, talk but no action.

Chinese government would manage india better

If you want to see why India is not China, just visit both. You can even compare 90s poor China to today's India, China was poor then, but not chaotic and messy as even today's India.

I just finished a month-long trip to China. I went to Beijing, Shanghai, Xi'an, Lanzhou, Urumqi, Lijiang and other cities. I saw super modern, clean and well organized megacities. I also saw beautiful grasslands, forests, snow-capped mountains, lakes, deserts and canyons like fairy tales. I have to say that this trip was really great. China's infrastructure is first-class, the scenery is first-class, and public transportation (especially high-speed rail) is top-notch. The food is delicious and the people are friendly. In a month, I didn't see homeless people, drug addicts and alcoholics. Although there are often vendors in scenic spots selling us overpriced and useless products, it's harmless. The level of public safety in the city is top-notch. Because of the time difference, we couldn't sleep at night, so we often explored the city at midnight. Unexpectedly, many shops on the street were still open at midnight, and single young women wearing cool clothes walking on the street at night were everywhere. I must praise China's public transportation and safety. Fast, clean and punctual public transportation really made our trip very calm and very convenient to go anywhere. The safe environment made our trip without anxiety about danger. China is so huge that one month is not enough for us to explore it in depth. My wife and I will definitely visit again in the future.

calling India a paper tiger is huge disrespect for the paper.

I'm Indian and this is a good observation. Just because Indians have cheap data doesn't mean we are at par with the Second and the first world. We Indians are far behind and have so much to do.

It's an insult to make a comparison between China and India

India's population is 1.45 billion, while the total population of Europe, with more than 45 countries, is about 740 million. Compared to India, China is a highly homogeneous country with 90% Han Chinese population and 80% of the population speaks the same language, Mandarin. The most spoken language in India is Hindi, spoken by only 43% of the population, and this includes dialects like haryanvi, Bhojpuri. Standard Hindi is spoken by only 27% of the population. India is subcontinent functioning as a country.

Whenever someone makes a video about China versus India, especially with reference to military/technology/GDP/wealth/living standards etc. (development indicators), Indian bots will cry under the comments sections and deny all facts. Can you imagine the amount of copium they have to consume on a daily basis?

Don't feel bad, Indian friends. Even US is struggling to compete with China right now.

After I worked with Indians for some years. The thing is like this. If an Indian shows you and tells you he is a 10, his best is 5. If an Eastern Asian tell you he is a 7, you could sure he is a 10.

Problems in India: 1. Political Corruption 2. Diverse and cultural differences 3. Always talking about protecting the culture and trying to kick out the minorities. 4. Illiteracy and full aupport to Political leaders who misleads the people themselves. 5. Always comparing it to Pakistan.

why India hasn't become a superpower? Because India talk too much but not work much.

Because we are busy to compare with Pakistan for everything

India has evolved from a tiger to a holy cow. 🤗

For outsiders to know the extent of corruption in India, Recently, A person faked 'Physical disability certificate' to get into an higher level Administrative service, Powerful position. I mean, how can you fake a physical disability?? People see through that in broad daylight. Yet through corruption she was accepted. And also recently national medical entrance exam was also comprised and list goes on.😭

Now, you'll be labelled as a "colonizer" by our BJP trolls. Thanks for raising valid points. They have no counter argument but just keep labelling everyone as they recieve ₹50 per day to defend the ruling Fascist party, online

Building bridges count towards economical growth, but would collapsed bridges be deducted from the growth figure? When comes time to rebuild collapsed bridges, the growth figure goes up again. Great.

I am a software engineer. I am from India. You are correct. The problem is not population, it is not doing your work. Just government job attitude, who cares attitude.

While Chinese are proud of companies like BYD,Huawei, DJI, Hikvision, etc., Indians are proud that ceos of Microsoft, Google, IBM, etc., are Indian.That’s why India is falling behind.India is never change, Entrenched bureaucracy and corruption from the British colonial era have never been eradicated. Recently when DW and BBC were talking about a wedding in India costing 320 million dollars and discussing the gap between rich and poor in India, Indians thought it was jealousy! I am Chinese and every time I see India optimistic that they are the next China, or after a border conflict that India can easily beat China, to be honest, the Chinese are very curious about where this "confidence" of Indians comes from, China's GDP in 2023 was 17.88 trillion USD and India's GDP was 3.48 trillion USD，Don't they know how much money $14.4 trillion is?Maybe yes maybe not,Indians just have "Confidence".

As someone from a colonized country any action praised by the west is more often than not detrimental to the progress of that colonized country.

China doesn’t have the problem of various religions that can be hostile to each other or the caste system. As a woman I’ve travelled through China for 5 weeks, very safe and modern. I wouldn’t attempt this in India. Comes across as chaotic, dirty and somewhat dangerous for women. I have read that democracy doesn’t work too well in nations with huge populations. Don’t know enough about economics to make a comment. Also India has a poor rural population

The biggest challenge for India is lack of knowledge in economics 😂😂

We simply boast We simply talk We simply misguide We simply lie We simply dream We simply imagine But absolutely no action No Quiet action like China France had introduced 400 km/ hr train ling back, Japan's Bullet train in 70s with 130 km/hr. And we talk about Vandebharat with bad workmanship and design. Earlier we had program for Super computer, and we did it no one boasted. Now no scientific temper. Still our street foods are unhygienic our unconventional medicines kill many. Just building roads and malls will not develop India. We are strong in Agriculture, we need to technically move farward. Systematic required improvement are required without spoiling livelihood of poor people.

India not only puts hurdles in the way of foreign investment they now also are taxing out of the 1.5 billion people the middle income 3% of eligible income tax base at the rate of 30%. So all the highly skilled high earners are leaving India for a better quality of life. The govt taxes like the Europeans but provides facilities like the Ugandans. Probably worse than Ugandans no offense to Uganda. Worst air quality, worst hygiene, no or shit public healthcare, overflowing public transport system, corrupt broken infrastructure, power cuts, water shortage, more than 10% inflation in urban areas while you play almost 45% taxes on all your income. If you want to start a business, pay a corporate tax of 25% and other kickbacks to local politicians. Its a dog eat dog dystopia. The government just cares about the GDP growth not the GDP per capita growth, the former can be flaunted in front of uneducated, unemployable, hyper emotional, hyper religious voters. I wonder how everything is still working and India is still growing.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="122">2:02</a> with half of India's population earning less than $3.65 a day...... India's Global hunger index ranking of 107 out of 121 countries must be real.🤣😂😅

Nigeria's elder brother

I worked at a medical packaging company in northest Philadelphia for 12 year's. They hireed 5 people from India. One man packed bad work and thought he was saving the company money because they could find some use for defective product. The recall of the contaminated products caused a multi million dollar law suit against hospitals that operated on patients. 2 died from infection. He didn't care that they died. He continued to defend his decision. The company closed and moved entire operations to Wisconsin to avoid anyone following them there.

"India ranks 93 among 180 countries in Global Corruption Index" and also the cast system , officially abolished but not in practice

India is not one country, it is a group of smaller countries.

As an African watching from afar, i have never visited both countries but what i can deduce from this comparison is that India is being swayed by the phony praises it is getting from the West thinking that it was a liberal democracy and a role model in Asia as per as the so called democracy is concerned. But its deep rooted Hindu nationalism and caste system is being downplayed by the West and Indian leadership thinks as long as the west is ignoring this problems every thing is okayed. Indian general elections are no different from African elections of coercion, fear, intimidation and corruption. The Chinese on the other hand are being demonized by the same West that the CWP is hindering freedom of expression and the people are in bondage, wether the west likes it or not the Chinese doesnt need any democratic lecture because this is a nation of more than 6000 years civilization and it has to follow its own model that's fit its aspirations and it is working to the chagrin of the west. India on the other hand is living on the illusion that it is one bride the west cherished all the times.

most of Indias so called growth is simply from popu;ation growth

Amazin insight at lack of public service, which seems large but is infact abysmally small and highly corrupt. The legal system is the slowest in the world by a country mile.

There is a famous investor in my country that lives in China most of the time and always talks on TV about China and how Chinese are efficient but also dangerous in his view, when asked about India he responded that he is far less worried because Indians are like us. 😂

India can't compete with China because most Indian intellects are educated in the west ideologies, and therefore tends to think in terms of short term gains while ignoring long term pains. Democracy in India has also caused economic progress on a mode of two steps forward, but one step backwards symdrone, given the when opposition parties gain political power, they invariably reverse the economic policies of the previous government. More importantly, the Indian Caste system has directly deprived India of at least 800 million rural poors of their abilities to contribute meaningfully to India's future endeavors.

You mentioned that only Canada and Norway are so generous with maternity leave. In Hungary during the first 6 months of maternity leave (CSED) the mothers get MORE money per month compared to when they were working. They can stay home up to 3 years. Companies are obligated to employ them after the leave ends. During 6-24 months of the leave (GYED) they still get decent money. During 2-3 years (GYES) the allowance is very low but mothers can still stay at home.

The success of a country depends on the willingness of individuals to work hard. India is currently so corrupt and so dirty (see for yourself or watch RU-vid travellers) that the individual has little confidence that their hard work actually leads to wealth. In China, individuals can get rich, that’s why so many women have become super rich. It’s all about faith and security

Why asking this in the 1st place? It should be can india compete with bangladesh

India is not a country, it is a union of states that don't even speak the same language. it is more logical to compare India to EU.

The investment that is “leaving” China is actually the same Chinese companies opening factories in other countries or in other poorer places inside china …

China is not a competition, it's a success story for India to learn to be as rich as America.

India is Hindu. China is CPC. Thats the difference. China is much better organised and no Religious Problems. Much better. China much better ❤

Indian bureaucracy is the reason India did not/cannot grow.

Maternity leave is given for Women votes not because they are disconnected .

Talk talk talk = scam

I am 53 years old living in india . My opinion india looking better and better year wise from 1990

No No No ....... not a paper tiger because nobody uses toilet papers .

no one banned English in India 😂 its north find itself hard to learn it dont say wrong things just don't say anything 😂

There is simply no comparison between India and China. The market driven communist regime has won, and is better than a democracy. China is run like a company - a large, powerful company that no one can compete with. The thing is, only China can be a communist country as it's homogenous and has a compliant population.

India has its limitations

Chinese communist wumao bots swarming the comments section ….😂😂

I live in India and your all facts are true

I have a business importing different materials. One of them is Velcro tape. My current supplier is is Asia, once I have tried indian producer. Brrr. Quality was so terrible and same suppliers reaction to complaint. Not sure how India plans to become competitor to China in producing goods. Another thing been in Shenzhen and Bombai. Such a HUDGE difference and you clearly see Mumbai is 100 years behind Shenzhen. For example in Shenzhen people drive on electric scooters and air is Ok and in Mombai they use petrol scoters and air is simply catastrophic. And I can go and go on and on

As an Indian i am happy with his economic work and infrastructure work i understand that we cant grow like china and unlike china we need social harmony for our democracy to work and that was getting or atleast the feeling of erosion was increasing, PM Modi cant win votes just by economic growth he needs the populist anti islam rhetoric cant blame him its a social thing but as an Indian we cant have that tension stretching for longer periods for stability of the nation thats what PM Modi failed at, he let it to be stretched to a new level.

Can usa compete with china ? Did england competed with usa !! Wtf economics is not zero sum game 😂

The corruption, caste system and multiple languages makes it harder for India to grow.

The India and the Chinese leaders they are wise , they can just work together. GOD bless them all!

It's toilet paper and don't insult tiger please... 😂😂😂

Chinese and Indians have different cultures and outlooks on life and this decides how a society functions. It seems to me Indians value stuff like religion and superstition much more than a good dose of grounded reality.

Because China is an export oriented economy, whereas India is a services based economy. The good thing about export oriented economies is they can provide jobs to large swaths of people, whereas IT services only creates jobs for the educated upper class. And in order for you to have a strong export economy, you need to have infrastructure to get your products to port to be exported. Because China has a strong central government, they can build roads, infrastructure, ports, electric grids, power plants, sewage systems with very little impediment. India has too many different parties to appease at the federal and local lvl before they start building due to its democratic system. With good infrastructure and a large willing labour force, foreign investors and local entrepreneurs were more willing to set up factories in China. This partially explains why India's economy has lagged China's.

India is more competitive than China in RU-vid comment section, and that is about it.

China has a dictator and india has a dictator but china has no Adani 💪💪💪💪

Facts : India FDI has been falling for past few years.

Not strong in industrial output in terms of infrastructure so how to compete with China. India still cannot construct bridges roads of the highest standard and moreover still cannot produce high ends products.

India can compare with India only. You can came compare norway vs Finland etc.

When it comes to IT, I was working in few companies which cooperated with or eployed Indian IT "specialists" (i.e. software developers, tech support etc.) and from my experience, vast majority of those devs were of very low quality. And it's the same for customer service. It's also worth mentioning that Apple has (or at least had) massive issues when it comes to quality when they moved part of their production from China to India. So I wouldn't say that India is such a "powerhouse" when it comes to IT as people may think.

The corruption is a given in Indian system .... 1. Every officer from patwari, tehsildar, sdm to collector and Commission are indesissive they would prefer not to decide anything and let any matter remaining pending till they are transferred and would only pass any order if they feel it's safe for their job and too after taking bribe to even do that. they would take 2 years to decide anything and in that too the entire action would be filled with corruption leading to further Litigation. I think every time an order is passed 2/3 orders end up in further Litigation ....

Over the last four years, Indian news outlets have repeatedly stated that India is significantly ahead of China, always pushing the narrative 'India wins, China loses.' So what better way to prove this narrative than at the world's largest sporting event (2024 Paris Olympics). It’s the perfect opportunity for India to showcase their country's progress and human development. All of China’s finest athletes will be there, as well as India’s best, competing alongside the world’s greatest at the highest level. The event will be broadcast globally, with eyes focus on India and China as they compete. So, did India easily win as they claimed they would? Of course not-India lost to China, 0-40. I guess Bollywood and their narratives are not realities after all. 🤭😅🤣😂

Chinese are force to work 18 hrs a day, Indian wants to sleep 3hrs in afternoon.

Yes True! India is a paper Tiger there's No doubt about

Chinese people want to trade and cooperate with India, why India is so hostile?

Truth is India is a pure dichotomy. And it’s apparent in every sphere. Rich and poor, healthy and diseased, progressive and conservative. I find this video quite prejudicial toward India. I mean aren’t Indians supposed to resentful toward their former colonizers, should we thank the British for enslaving us and looting all our wealth?? India has a richer history, greater historical wealth and a great amount of soft power for millennia versus Britain. We didn’t need to travel the globe and loot hundreds of nations , enslave them in order to become wealthy. There are plenty of negatives to report about India, but there is enough positive news as well. India’s renewable growth path, India’s increasing contribution to world trade(yes it’s small but it is growing). And a lot of western media forget India’s greatest export. Indian citizens, whom they need for maintaining their falling population numbers and to help support their tax systems and social nets for their aging populations. One true negative of the Indian system is the failure of the judiciary and policing. Perhaps we can explore why western society is falling behind Asian societies or rather will be eclipsed by various Asian countries in a future video instead of bashing a nation that is trying to seek its own role in the world,without invading any other country in hundreds of years. If you only see chaos and filth in India, that’s because you only choose to see it that way. There are plenty of positives for those who wish to see with an open mind.

Racist country of the world 😢

It makes more sense to compare india with Vietnam...Pakistan..Philippines and other developing countries... India compare to China....no match 😅😅

LKY : India is a "separated" nation. India is not a real country. Instead it is 32 nations that happen to be arrayed along the British rail line. Unquote From : Singapore 🇸🇬

You are wrong in saying all the top IT guys were from wealthy families In fact vast majority were from average families

When India don't support them it is paper tiger but when India is supporting them it is proper tiger.

The richer is insanely rich in India. Imagine a 10 long months of wedding and hired all the Hollywood celebrities…smh the country is so messed up

Are there countries ahead of India? Yes. At one point, these countries also had many flaws. However, the point to be noted is that India is progressing, starting from a very low point, and is catching up. There are many problems, yes, and India has a long way to go, yes, but India is definitely on its way.

As an Indian i do agree!

China is more developed so what... India is it own timeline... dont worry about India.

India going to be superpower ON PAPER nowhere else.

We need British people back in charge.

Even if India has 1.4 billion people, it's total literacy rate only 77.70% in 2022 when China achieve the same in 1990. Education alone, India is behind 30 years. China literacy rate in 2021 was 99.83%. Availability of workers, India should be halved because more than 60% women/wife are housewife and not allowed to work due to culture. So, purchasing power for each family will be lower

As a Indian, I can confirm that, everything he said is right. Unfortunately....

India is a poor country,india cant be saved will not save itself

I don't about about your views. But As a Citizen of India, India really developing fast that I can see it in my own eyes 10 years we do not have proper roads now its really rare to see worst roads, The worst roads are construction works going on. Also it is easy to get loan to start business no electricity problem. Always west people troll India for not having toilets but I don't think that now every house have toilets. By the way I am Tamilnadu state.

My condolences to all the victims who suffered and died because of the |ndian regime.

The main reason why China's development is far ahead of India lies in the considerable gap in political wisdom between the leaders of the two countries. Two simple examples can show this: 1. In terms of treating foreign capital, after Chinese leaders introduce foreign capital, they will do everything possible to provide the greatest convenience for foreign capital. No matter how much money you earn, the Chinese government is never envious. As long as you pay taxes legally according to the bilateral agreement, no matter how much money you earn, it's all yours and can be transferred away at will. Because when foreign capital enters China for investment, it will definitely bring social employment and various technologies, including production technology and management technology. What China wants is technology. In the long-term cooperation, these technologies will definitely be mastered by the Chinese people. With technology, everything is easy to say. However, Indian leaders are completely a group of short-sighted people. After seeing foreign capital making money, they try every means to punish them with fines of various names. Sometimes there is no reason for fines. They even pass a temporary bill to punish foreign capital. This untrustworthy cooperation method has caused great hardship to foreign investors. According to statistics, in the ten years from 2014 to 2024, 2,800 foreign companies fled India, and some of them came to China. 2. Since 2020, due to the China-India border conflict, India has implemented "the strictest restrictive measures in Asia" on Chinese enterprises, including strictly restricting the issuance of visas to China and Chinese investment. They said that the restrictive measures were taken due to the epidemic. In fact, China's epidemic had been completely controlled in May 2020, and China has long opened up visas for Indians to come to China. In this way, hundreds of thousands of Indians travel to China every year, including those for tourism and business, contributing considerable tourism economic income to China. Chinese leaders consider it foolish not to earn money when there is money to be made. On the contrary, due to India's refusal to issue visas, the number of Chinese going to India is very small. Foolish Indian leaders have shut out a considerable amount of income. The above can show the political wisdom of the leaders of the two countries. One has a long-term strategic vision, while the other is short-sighted and incompetent.

I totally agree with the dumb education system here

If India becomes a dictatorship like China, then India can easily compete with China. Democracy and secularism has caused a lot of damage to India. A monarchy rule like in Sauda Arabia or UAE is what is needed in India for efficient governance.

Without R&D every country is paper nation. I think UAE is going to be a great place to live in after a few decades.

在新加坡 有一次 我跟一位大学老师谈中国与印度的不同。 他笑了笑说印度是永远比不了中国的，也永远贏不了中國。他说是因为印度少了中国最關建的兩樣東西， 一個在古代，一個在现代。 古代那個叫秦始皇，现代那個叫毛泽东。他说印度人也少了中国人的血性，智慧，远见， 担当与付出。 印度人是沒有什么真本事的。 他们就靠一张硬嘴，嘴硬。 敢跟你吹能跟你啃。能一路跟你死啃到底，啃到天亮. 敢说就贏。 印度人最害怕的不是你能打敗他們或你能打趴他们。而是你不把他们看在眼里，不把他们当一回事。这個对他们来讲可真的是要比死了更难受。因为现在他们的印度已是世界上最有声有色的世界大国，大強国，強大国， 強強国。 跟印度人讲话要小心客气一点。 知道吗。

Let me summurize it for you. China had a workers revolution. India did not. There... Every other argument descends or is subordinated to this root cause. Everything else like cultural diferences are excuses. What matters is: China has a sovereing politic system capable of making decisions in the best interest of it's people even if it goes agaimst international capital interests. India political elites are still tied and subordinated to international capital and still has remenats of a class system. This prevents their goverment from taking trully sovereign decisions on the behalf of its people. They still have to please international capital and this traps their development.

There is no commonality between the two countries other than their population size
