Will India Be the Next China?| An Indian's Take | OVERLAP 

Former prime minister of Singapore LKY said: India is the country of the future where the future NEVER arrives 😂

Not sure if India will be the next China. But very certain that America will be the next India. 😂😂😂

I was in New Delhi for exhibition at the Exhibition Centre Pragati Madan before Covid-19. An Indian that I have met in one of the Indian exhibition booths and he told me this when we were discussing and comparing Indian and Chinese products. I was surprised he told me this. "The Chinese they are learning very fast from us. In the next 20 years times they will sure be catching up with us" I just smiles and say nothing.

INDIANS TALK THE TALK. CHINESE WALK THE WALK.

the best of Made in India, for me personally, is Darjeeling Tea...but still, it was brought to India from Fujian, China...😅😅😅

Impossible to be China 2.0. For this you need a government focused on the interests of the nation. Democracy forces the focus to be on the politicians to remain/gain power.

Jayant is so knowledgeable and articulate. His factual analysis will not please extreme Indian nationalists 😢

This is one rational and truthful Indian. He understands the Indian situation well.

The next China is................CHINA!

The guest description of India paints an image of my Nigeria to me. These diverse democracies of developing countries are highly corrupt, hence development is slow. They all have a long way to go before their economies will be truly developed

Not unless they become more honest, less vile, more polite, less deceptive, etc. 40 years of experience tells me this.

India 2023 GDP is similar to China 2007 GDP but....one is in DEFICIT the other was in SURPLUS. *India 2023:* GDP: $3.9 trillion (est) Exports: $772 billion (est) Imports: $832 billion (est) Trade Deficit: $100 - 200 billion (est) Forex Reserves: $615 billion Literacy Rate = 69% *China 2007:* GDP: $3.43 trillion Exports: $1.22 trillion Imports: $956 billion Trade Surplus: $264 billion Forex Reserves $1.33 trillion Literacy Rate = 95% Today despite similar population number at 1.4b, India only have 672m workforce vs 931m for China. 48% Indian worked to support the others 52% unproductive population vs 66% Chinese worked to support the others 34% unproductive population. *India:* Population 1.4b Male 700m = 73% labor force participation rate Female 700m = 23% labor force participation rate (On par with Somalia, Pakistan, Palestine) Total workforce = 511+ 161 = 672m Literacy Rate = 69% *Educated workforce = 463m* Arable land = 154 million hectares Grain production = 330 million tons Grain Reserve = 57.9 million tons *China:* Population 1.4b Male 700m = 72 % labor force participation rate Female 700m = 61% labor force participation rate (On par with Canada, Netherlands, Israel) Total workforce = 504 + 427 = 931m Literacy Rate = 97% *Educated workforce = 903m* Arable land = 127 million hectares Grain production = 686 million tons Grain Reserve = >700 million tons Comparing *India to China* is akin to comparing *Pakistan to Japan* , *Bangladesh/Nepal to South Korea* , *Sri Lanka to Taiwan* . One group is influenced by Chinese civilization, the others group is influenced by Indian civilization. Two different class. One is Yellow the others is Brown/Dark. One uses chopsticks, the others uses bare hand. The most developed country in ASEAN is Singapore, a nation populated by predominantly Chinese an East Asian origin people. One group collectively & consistently ranked within the world top 10-20 in IQ Test, PISA Score, University Rank, International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) & Mathematical Olympiad, standing shoulder to shoulder with western world ....while the others group collectively & consistently ranked somewhere in the middle out of 100+ participant nation standing shoulder to shoulder with some failed states & banana republic. Comparing South Asia with East Asia is like comparing Africa with Europe. No developed countries exist outside of Western & East Asian world.

Most Chinese dont care about India, but the Indians love China soo much😂😂😂

All Jayant Bhandari did was tell the TRUTH. Why can’t you Indians accept it and try to make your country better?

For everyone who has been in both China & India will know that India has no chance in overtaking China… especially with the Caste system in place , the smart Indians who tried to get out of this has no choice but to leave India

Not because l differ with Indian policy and attitude, but l prefer truth, facts and unbiased views, l feel like saluting Mr Bhandari, sir. Thanks for fair and truthful info, gentlemen.

My father who himself was a Govt officer in India, was forced to retire because he was straightforward. And after retiring he continued to fight the local town bureaucrats, and finally he won after spending 20,000 for court trials and such, for a bribe amount of 2000 which he refused to give.

The sad part is that they are more poor and hungry people in India than there are in sub Saharan Africa.

Insightful. Hope India will not be used by western countries. And India must realize that China, as a close and ancient neighbour, is much more valuable that any of its former colonial masters.

You have to respect this guy being critical of his own country while most Western media, motivated by the anti-China agenda, increasingly praises India will overtake China soon.

India should target to be the next US, not CHina. China is already much bigger than the US. Don't try to run before learning how to walk.

5:05 India exporting all their best talent overseas is precisely why they cannot surpass China. The brain drain is not returning to the motherland. They increase the power of the West!

Always love to hear Mr. Jayant Bhandari views

This gentleman is actually doing a service by speaking the truth.

It takes courage to be so objective

India still dreaming from Bollywood movies, please wake up

Anglo Saxons are good at listening and Indians are good at talking them up, whereas Chinese are good at doing.

Funny fact, it is India that uses the old colonial map, of their old colonial master, the British-Raj, to claim territory of all their neighbors.

I’m really like this Indian guy telling the truth about the talks. Many thanks!!

We also have to understand why Indians are not united -- before the British came, there was no such a country called India. The land was populated by many ethnic groups and controlled by different warlords and small kingdoms. Although the land is united now, the fraction still exists. That's why it is so difficult to build infrastructure that spans multiple states; The bickering is real.

Great discussion. 🫡 Mr. Jayant Bhandari. Even though the truth really hurts him deep down, but he courageously called a spade, a spade. May India have somebody like Mr. Vladimir Putin or the late Mr. Deng Xiaoping. I know, both are far from perfect, but what they have done to their nation, is HISTORY.

This gentleman is stating facts and current truth and in the long run, Indian might learn how China became successful and follow that path. Working with China would improve the the economic. But with the current India rhetoric and anti China view, India will be stuck in the limbo.

India Day Dreaming

In my country, the only thing made in India are immigrants

India under Modi will go back to caves 😅😂🤣

I think it's very difficult for India to achieve what China has achieved. The bureaucracy, countless opposing voices within India, and also their work culture and business ethics still cannot match. I just saw a RU-vid that said India decided not to pay up for the remaining amounts due for rafale fighters to France and has been trying to make things difficult for France by proposing to pay in rupee which France does not need. The contract is for payment in euro, so just perform accordingly and stop all these games

Do agree when I went to India the immigration official was asking for a bribe.

I've watched many of Jayant's videos. He's really intelligent and a world class citizen who sees things through deeply.

What I know about India is second hand. And I picked up basically what the guest said about India. Although I was surprised by the claim of rampant bribery. India will never become the next China. That is something I completely agree with. The leadership is the problem in India. And ignorance is becoming rampant in India.

Jayanth is absolutely correct about government offices in India. Absolutely horrendous and high on corruption. You may think Jayanth is exaggerating, but sadly, it's all true 😢.

Countries that lead the world in 44 critical technology* sectors: 1. China = 37 2. USA = 7 3. UK = 0 4. Germany = 0 5. Japan = 0 *In fields like defence, space, robotics, energy, the environment, biotechnology, artificial intelligence (AI), advanced materials and key quantum technology areas Source: Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) **India leads the world in the field of cow husbandry, which is neither a technology nor critical

Thank you for JB’s honesty, as he says fact is fact. I have watched many videos and comments people made that India will be the next China until we visited India this December. My humble opinion aligned with Mr. JB. You need to understand their social systems, religions, political systems, education issues, infrastructure state, etc., then you will agree with Mr. JB. We saw hungry people, starving cows and starving dogs everywhere. Royal families are still holding wealth and properties in most of the regions except south of the India (Kochi where we visited). After visiting India, we are positive that India will not be the next China. Go see yourself and try to understand their culture and history, you will know Mr. JB is right.

I have been to cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Agra, and Goa and I cannot envisage India to be like China in the 21st century, prosperous, safe, industrialized and even more modern than the west. It is the western perception that by making products with the Indian cheap labor the west can benefit and pushes India up to be the “factory” of the world. But the practice is the contrary, many western companies have encountered problems of low quality, lower productivity, cultural differences and government’s meddling that make them loose their competitiveness against Chinese companies. India has never had unity nor human rights.

Nothing against India and a good stable India is good for the world as well but what Mr. Jayant Bhandari says reflects the actual true scenario. It is what it is.

Iam from india..just recently i paid bribe to a lawyer to get my house papers done openly.

If India would settle the border issue and work with China there would be mutual benefit. It worked for China and Vietnam, so why not for India?

A full thesis would be too long, but there are generally many factors why India keeps falling behind China, even though it is supposed to have the benefit of 'democracy' since independence. To begin with, spiritually(this is often not discussed), the inability of India to eliminate historical social inequality, and caste, over millenias creates Karmical Debt preventing blessings. Comparatively, China has rid itself of feudal yoke, thanks to Mao Zedong. Without institutiuonal equality, free-market capitalism becomes exploitative. Culturally, the absence of 'Confucian ethics' system, which can be deemed non-democratic, can explain the economic miracles of the 4 Asian Tigers, as well as China. To be a top tier power, or for India to be the next China, it has to first be a manufacturing powerhouse, which will be difficult given it's difference in 'having discipline'. In a more layman observation, generally, very good Talkers are rarely good 'Do-ers', for if you can talk yourself away, there is no real need to have actual performance. On the other hand, many exceptional 'Do-ers', find it hard to explain to the crowd. At the macro level, we can see very obviously that one culture is a Talker, while the other can be categorized more as a 'Do-er'.

If India is lucky, it will be the next Pakistan

India politicians looks like crooks in a bollywood movie😂😂😂

When I worked in London, I had an Indian collegue who wanted to invest several millions pounds in India. He went to a minister and tried to bribe him. The minister asked if he had bribed his subordinates. My collegue said not yet. The minister said you must do that first and then you can reach me. This really shocked me.

To his point that everything around him is made in China, I would add that the laptops or smartphones and wifi equipment they are using to teleconference are very likely made in China. If it's a Zoom meeting, they have Eric Yuan to thank--born in Shandong, China. Furthermore, broadband communications are dependent on fiber optics, invented by Shanghai-born Charles Kuen Kao.

Gigantic China was humble & courageous enough to make the change to follow some good examples of little dot Singapore. Meanwhile, India (& USA) cannot accept that the little dot Singapore & the people of China have anything worthy of their respect to lose face to. India (& USA) *_"think"_* they are the best - not because they are actually the best !

Never say never. Nobody would have predicted that China would become the second-largest economy in such a short time when it first opened to the world. But it is going to be hard for India to replicate the China miracle.

India is India

This man hit me so hard with his first question. "What is in your surrounding that has made in india?" He is damn right. I still remember when china started accelerating their economy, about 20 years ago. Suddently everything were made in china. From lugnut, stationary, dresses, furnitures, electronics, everything. Now, i haven't see any made in india around me

Fact is, India’s increased momentum in Trade as of recent Is primarily due to the West having switched their Trade imports from China to India. The Collective West tend to play these games as they did so with Japan in their Rise and Fall, in the Tech Industry. Once a nation is seen as an Economic giant, the West tend to see it as a threat and begin the process of decline so the country has to focus on rising unemployment, rather than redirecting the Exports to keep the Manufacturing. Currently in China, the Train has left the Docks, and BiG Ship has left the Station. Trains that Cruise and Ships that Ride, and now US have been in a State of Panic for many Years in trying to stop China but it’s too late. While US were implementing their PLan, China carefully bolstered up ties globally including their own National Securtiy. When the US sees issues within as their plan is in full flow, usually the Civilians take it out on the Government and US snake their way in to cause further disruption, let alone pushing false narratives about their neighbouring country that’s thriving on new Trade deals with the West generating hatred within the nation that’s on a down turn. The Chinese people being disciplined remained poised and the Trade redirected to other regions of the planet to sustain growth. India has to prep to avoid the same rhetorics of the West and not to become too dependent on the Good Times, put a little away for a rainy day should US suddenly play the Games of Yester-years. Well Done China and Do Good, WorkHard Stay Sharp to the bottom of the GLass India..!

NOT EVEN CLOSE INDIA IS DECADES AWAY FROM GETTING ANYWHERE CLOSE TO CHINA

India is India, China is China. Mr Bhandari is correct.

Im Indian and i accept his facts,

The BJP government is carried by RSS ideology of Hindutva nationalism, and idea not to develop India into a great power like China, the idea to become to a country called Ramarajya. A fully hindu run state, and all other minorities should be suppressed. After they took control of India, what they doing is changing all things related to secularism and enforcing state government to accept it, and dismantling democracy. If any state not willing implement their ideology, punishing them with using central institutions. So now most of the state are in trouble to survive by economically and demographically. And today's India is more divided, no hope to succeed

And again another fantastic concise clarity provided by Jayant Bandari. Loved the video, bookmarked!

Everyone knows India is the bribes heaven on earth in fact you could get arrested for not paying a bribe😅😅😅😅

I love China's growth. China shared so much to other countries in many aspects.

One key reason that India will never be China 2 is average IQ China 105 VS India 76.

If India says that China is not doing well, I just can't imagine how horrific it must be in India This is like an F-grade student telling an A+ student he is not doing well. - China's economy is 6 times larger than India's. - China's yearly growth is 5 times greater than India's. - China has better living conditions and healthcare; on average, they live a whole decade more than their Indian counterpart. - China is 60 times richer than India. (I know it's unfair that the British looted 45 trillion from India, but it is what it is). - China launches 20-50 times more rockets than India into space every year. - China is a lot more intelligent, with an IQ of 104 compared to India's 76. - China is more athletic and stronger than India, winning 38 times more gold medals than India in the world olympic games. - China's reserves is 7 times larger than India's reserves. - India is forced to use the Chinese currency when purchasing oil from Russia, Iran, or Venezuela. Due to weak & undesirable Indian Rupees. - China has 21 times more companies in the Fortune 500 than India.

Bangladesh GDP per capital EXCEEDS that of India. Check it out. Quiet Bangladesh. Slow and Steady. without screaming and shouting.

Of all G20 countries, India is the only lower middle-income country. Lower middle-income economies are those with a GDP per capita between $1,136 and $4,465 btw. India is only in the G20 due to its population size, that's all

With 3% of global GDP and 17% of the world population India is becoming a liability. Modi has accelerated this in the last ten years. Changing him does not mean there will be an improvement because the system is rotten. And the people in general are lazy, dishonest and indifferent. This is my reading after 45vyears of working as an executive in very large corporations. Output per worker is among the lowest and not comparable with China, Japan or South Korea.

Dreams do eventually come true.... it largely depends on the decisions of the leaders!

At long last we see somebody of Indian origin who is not afraid to call a spade a spade! Jayant Bandari is not bias! This guy speaks of what is really happening on the world economic and geopolitical arena in today global economic turmoil, with India trying to catch up with China which is years ahead in every sphere of development. He makes a true and vivid diagnosis of the present economic perspective and the real situation facing India to the effect that his native country will never become the next China! This 30 minutes interview is a food for thought that must be seen by one and all. His economic analysis is totally opposite to what Indian Prime minister, Narendra Modi, has been saying day in day out: that India is the next superpower of the world that will overtake China in less than a decade! When you take note of Modi's repetitive bullshit narrative and that of his bootlicker journalist of Vantage, Palki Sharma, and other Indian propaganda media, we cannot help asking ourselves whether the Indian illiterate masses are not being taken for a long ride since Modi comes to power a decade ago. Bandari underlines that between the government and weak infrastructure of India, most companies that want to move operations to India, end up not doing so because of rampant corruption at all level of the Indian society and the sluggishness of the Indian bureaucracy taking weeks to process a simple development certificate submitted by overseas companies!( Roland Tsang kwai kew 10.10.23)

India is not a homogenous nation. There are 1000s of languages, 1000s of religions, 1000s of tribal local lords w/o an effective central government authority, etc. The Western portion is of Afro-Aryan mix, while the Eastern portion is of Asiatic stock. Plus there are caste system, illiteracy, overspending in military, poor health care, lack of education and hygiene. India did manage to send a box to Mars, a lander to the Moon and a couple of satellites. China has no intention to complete with India, but India often brags how she surpasses China. Modi says that India will in XXX years overtake YYY nations. Bharat has a big ego, and it does not fit into her skull.

On a visit to India years back, I asked people in the street the way to my hotel. I asked 5 persons first, they all said they did not know. With the 6th person, I hold a Rs50 bill. He told me the answer and accept my Rs50

totally agree with every word your guest said

Hi Jayant. In relation to your question - how many items I have bought are made in India, I have nothing, zero, zilch. So if I buy an item made in India, then India have made a 100% increase growth? Actually in mathematics, (1/0) x100 it is an infinite growth. Would you agree it will be an infinite growth for India just by selling 1 item to new buyers like me???😊

Most savage critique of India ever! I've seen older videos of his describing india as barbaric.

You will end up like julian Assange if u tell the truth.

Interesting discussion. Was expecting questions about what Modi's government is doing to attract foreign investment, given what they were doing to Xiaomi and Vivo in recent times. Also India's effort to get Apple to move production from China.

Jayant Bhandari, is 100% correct ..Indian P M Narendra Modi on Saturday launched projects worth 157 billion rupees ($2 billion) in Ayodhya, a town considered sacred by Hindus, in the Uttar Pradesh state. a massive project to build a temple dedicated to the Indian god Ram is underway .PS ... Where are the American investor that Biden promise Modie on his visit to Washington ! they all come to India and gone home , business /investors are not Politician , their wealth don't rely on the "direction of the wind Blow on the day" .While in Washington , Modie was in Cloud 9 ! like a little kid from one of the slum in India . walk into a Buffet restaurant !

Why china can be what it is today is because Deng Xiaoping humbly accepted LKY's advise and foresight by opening up China to the world .

I have to say that the Indian elites are very powerful and see problems very accurately. Fortunately, these elites are all in Europe and the United States and have not stayed in India.

I notice a common theme among Chinese interviewers -- they are almost always smiling, and wishing the best for everyone -- even for people who consider them enemies. Given their history of invasion and exploitation by the West and Japan, it's just incredible.

Will India be the next China ? 😁 😆 😂 Nah, i don't think India in any ways can be the next China. At this moment, India can't even solve it's sanitation problems let alone deal with other issues.

India will remain the same India for the next 100 years.

This guy lies through his teeth.

Great insight into how India works. I wonder how I can survive in the Indian context. Thanks.

No India will not achieve the same position as China.

Never. Why? Two words. "Caste System"

During the Tang Dynasty India doesn’t exist, there were some 50+nations then

It should be Can India be the next US. To be China for India is thousands of miles away and never will be.🤣🤣😛😛

Indians always thought their country already top of the world .supper power in the world .different Chinese people always thought their country behind everyone in the world had to work very hard catch up .when you talk to Indians friends they said India everything numbers one in the world .we see .time will tell.

India exporting talents worldwide means only that the inequalities in their country forced these scholars to work abroad where they could have a chance to become significant. They could grab onto fame and fortune offered by Western liberalism either thanks to being born with a silver spoon or sacrificial funding for their education from family and friends. Talented people exist all around the world, but will only strive if offered good education. Now that's not to say that the education system in their country failed them! It might well be the opposite... It's the lack of job opportunities in their own country after graduating there. Post graduate schools will often lacks essential investments in hi-tech or medical fields found in wealthy countries like the US-UK, Germany, China, France...even though India is doing well in Software Engineering and Pharmacology as resources needed there is not unaccessible... For a country to economically strive as a whole, its middle class must strive. The scholars must be serving their country instead of selling their intellect abroad. If that's the case with India, then there is hope. If not India economy will remain stagnant until then.

India is too fixated on the trivial border issue with China.

He's not an Indian. He is a US citizen - a coconut to be frank.

Mr. Jayanthi Bhandari is absolutely correct about the India/China border dispute will never be peacefully resolved as the ruling Indian leadership critically needed it as a bogey for controlling domestic electorare support.

Kumar's, have you watched the video?😂😂😂

You mean India will be the next Ukraine 😂😂

I really enjoyed your frank point of view

Never! Why? India does not has a strong central government like China, often India's internal government is a mess! 2, 1.4 Indian are not patriot as the 1.4 Chinese people, and the India's talents leave India faster than the high speed train 🚅....and that's why India still does not has high speed train 🚅 and, 3 India is still very a class society which is difficult for a country to succeed in developing a properse society....

India don't even have its own phones, all the phones from China 😂

Honesty to one’s weaknesses, pitfalls and failures is hope for a real change in the future.
