Speaking to media on the sidelines of the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, which closed on Sunday, the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) delegates said India was still a long way from catching up to China’s military, especially in the defence industry.
“India is unlikely to catch up to China in the coming decades because of its weak industrial infrastructure, while China has built complex and systematic defence industrial platforms,” said Senior Colonel Zhao Xiaozhuo of the PLA Academy of Military Sciences.
“When you look at the Indian military’s weapon systems, what types of tanks, aircraft and warships were made and developed by Indians themselves?”
As the world’s biggest army, the 2 million-strong PLA has set a goal to become a modern fighting force by 2027, the centenary of its founding.

PS. India would definitely disagree. They believe that they are more advanced and superior than China and are ready to defeat China in a war. They even told their students to work hard or else China would over take India as an advanced economy. They have already defeated China in becoming the most populous country.

Good morning All.
Today's ST: India,UAssA agree on road map to boost defence industrial ties.
White barbarians only knew how to manufacture weapons of mass destructions.
India, the weasel with three headed snakes faces the worst hypocrite.
The Americans are trying their best to dope the Indians to turn against BRICS.
The USA is leveraging on the Russian Indian spat over payments for weapons and energy in Yuan instead of Rupee. You could see that the USA is moving in to dislodge Indian dependence on Russian arms and energy, striking while the iron is still hot, and the gorilla is happily gloating about technology co-operation between the two countries.
Russia has little use for rupees, since India sells little to Russia to make accumulation of rupees beneficial for Russia. Russia's import from China on the other hand is expanding, and it makes sense for Russia to accumlate more Yuan.
When the break comes between Russia and India, which looks imminent, with Modi being summoned to Washington by the Emperor, what is India's role in BRICS I wonder. BRICS is all for de-dollarision, while India will need all the US$ to buy weapons and energy from the USA. The contradictions cannot be more pronounced. Go figure it out.
India is Sabotaging Progress in the BRICS and SCO Groupings
After the induction of India as a full member of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) in 2017, the grouping began meandering aimlessly. This was not what China and Russia had in mind in 2005 when they put together the Shanghai Five in 2005 (which later morphed into the SCO.)
“If China is not willing to correct its wrong attitude in the talks at the bilateral level, how will the two countries improve relations at SCO and BRICS? These groups are not making much progress due to obstinacy in Beijing’s position,” said Yogesh Gupta, a former Indian ambassador to Denmark.
Under India's first-ever Chairmanship of the SCO, the SCO foreign ministers meeting in Delhi recently witnessed an acrimonious India-Pakistan standoff that vitiated the “Shanghai Spirit,” even as the Central Asian states and Russia and China mutely watched.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has shockingly decided to host the SCO Heads of State summit on July 4 in virtual mode amid lukewarm ties with China and Pakistan.
As the SCO may eventually be rendered comatose ready for burial by India, it stands to reason that China and the Central Asian states and Russia felt the need to create more effective mechanisms and plans in their common space so as to impart a new quality of cooperation, and supplement the SCO if need arises.
So, instead of expelling India from the SCO, the Xi’an summit was held on May 18-19 with the five heads of Central Asian States and Beijing. A new ‘5+2’ axis is being formed (Central Asia plus China and Russia).
That is one way of dealing with the thief in the house. Let the SCO go into comatose but revive a parallel organisation without India.
It would be more tricky to do that with BRICS.
The "I" in BRICS should be replaced by Iran. Kick out the double-headed Indian snake!
Hi Anon 9.33
Think they changing the initials of BRIC to BRMC with India OUT.
And Mexico IN.
India too many clubs and no pay memberships fees.
ARSES-KUS also wany. TPC also want. BRIC also want. Everything also want but spying here and sabotage there.
So Mexico is replacing them.
Here the appeal by the UAssA to Mexico not to join BRIC
How good is Indian enginneering and technology can be seen in the suspension bridge collapsing a second time, just 14 months after being repaired. That is a profound lesson.
I believe it is all due to lack of funds for anything better to be done. With a population of 1.4 billion and a GDP of about US$3.7 trillion, not much is available for developmental purpose. All that talk about 'population growth dividends' means little if poverty still festers, with no major areas of growth in employment to absorb the growing population. young they might be. Only in investments in industries and manufacturing can mass employment opportunities be created for more young Indians entering the job market, in order to propel the country forward.
China took a leaf from the Industrial Revolution of the West, and reaped the benefits. India did not do so for a long time, instead preferring to indulge in small scale manufacturing hubs that provided scant job opportunities for its growing population. Moreover, with voters deciding the kind of Government who can best take care of their livelihood, wholesale changes to the economy's direction is out of the question. Doing that means the Government will be voted out in no time. China does not have to cater to voter's demand and can dictate the direction of it economic direction. That has so far been more productive rather than a hindrance.
India's path forward had been charted on its predominently service oriented economy, a direction it has chosen to follow that is diamentrically different from China. Only lately has the Indian Government realised the potential for mass job creation by investing in the manufacturing and industrialisation route. India is moving in that direction without a doubt, but it is already far and away from what China has done. In fact countries like Vietnam and Bangladesh have embarked on industrialisation to attract investments from China and elsewhere over the past decades, and have benefitted.
That begs the question of the need for India to invest also in infrastructures, like rails, roads, airports and ports to cater to the industrialisation move. Otherwise, investors will still shun the poor infrastructures, without being able to take advantage of the rapid movement of raw materials, finished goods and timely delivery to ports for shipping in an industrial environment. The demand for funds to cater to all this is a problem for India to resolve.

India Bridge collapse the second time in a year!
What would the Indians be telling the Americans in QUAD about BRICS?
What would the Indians be telling the Russians in BRICS about QUAD?
Having a tongue with a fork tells us all about it. No problem.
