Why is India still in BRICS since it is unhappy with
what China is doing? Since India is not happy with China taking a lead
in the BRI and opted not to be in it, likewise its unhappiness with
BRICS should result in its withdrawal. Many countries are waiting for
this to happen, especially those wishing to join the BRICS grouping.
Indians
are deeply jealous of China's outclassing them in every aspect although
both started from the same starting line - GDP, infrastructures, high
speed railways, space exploration, semiconductors, mobile phones,
computers, AI, EVs, 5G. Indian factories have still to depend on China's
supply chains for components, for example in its computers and mobile
phones sector, with even Apple having to source for its iPhone
components from China and shipped to India to be assembled.
The
most ridiculous aspect of India must be its high speed railways being
constructed using slow speed method, LOL. India's first high speed rail
construction started in 2017, after talking about it since 1980, and six
long years after 2017 has little to show, and is only expected to be
completed in 2028. Indonesia's high speed rail started construction a
year later and is now operational.
Today, even Vietnam and
Bangladesh are benefiting from companies moving out of China and doing
much better than India. Bangladesh and Sri Lanka have been reported to
have overtaken India in GDP per capita. Both are members of the BRI and
making India very uncomfortable and jealous of the BRI.

Jansen just made a video detailing ten reasons why India can never catch
up with China, not to talk about its wet dream of overtaking China to
become the world's manufacturing hub. Indians can only brag, make snead
remarks, complain about China. This is a clear indication of their deep
jealousy, haplessness and head banging and unable to do anything about
it.
Now trying to demonise the BRI. Indians can just keep
banging heads, instead of the usual up and down movement, but I advise
the Indians to wear a turban like Modi, as head injuries can happen if
not careful, LOL.
Instead of improving and try to catch up, jealousy is killing the Indian dream, created by none other than Modi. Just like Trump demonizing China given any opportunity, Palki Sharma, formerly of WION, and now managing editor of Firstpost, the mouthpiece of Modi, is criticizing and demonizing China over everything under the sun, the same bad habit when she was with WION.
ReplyDeleteShe was reported to have interviewed Professor John Mearsheimer and while talking about superpowers, she asked the Professor whether India is a superpower. She was waiting for Mearsheimer to give a glowing confirmation that India is a superpower, but that did not materialize. Professor Mearsheimer said that to qualify for superpower status, countries need two important criteria and that is having a large population and secondly having the financial clout, among others. India had a large population without a doubt but does not have the financial clout. It will take time for India to rise, but how long this is going to take is the question.
You see, India is very impatient to be seen as a superpower and they even are claiming today that they are already among the top two, which is the USA and China. Russia, though not a financial giant is as good as a superpower with its massive oil and gas reserves and its food production capacity. What has India got? Manufacturing human beings and inherent poverty getting worse by the day.
Modi is able to stay in power because he is good at playing the racial card among the majority Hindu population supporting him, He is also an anti-Muslim pervert, and that is the second reason he had a hold on the Hindu population of India. Muslims in India have become the bogeyman.
A Government that relies on a single race for support will never be able to achieve its full potential for the country, despite all the hype and using smoke and mirrors to cover its shortcomings. Modi has to keep playing the same racial card, but that would be detrimental for Indian citizens going forward, unless they are prepared to remain sleeping in bliss like the German population today. Ignorance is bliss after all and it never fails to be supported.
Modi talks and promise a lot but achieve little for show. India is today basically just an assembly hub for products eg Apple iPhones without the capacity to produce the components of the iPhone without the underlying supply chain. Apple in India still has to source its Apple components from China. China is willing to supply them, but at much higher prices and that is a blessing in disguise for Chinese supply chains. Instead of exporting fully assembled iPhones, China is making more money supplying iPhone components to India. When will India become the factory of the world that they aspire to be? How long it is going to take is again the question.
India is almost unable to pay for its oil imports from Russia as the rupee is not accepted by Russia.
ReplyDeleteIndia now cutting ties with Arab world is just like Germany cutting ties with Russia. No more cheap oil and gas. Of course, can still buy from USA at more expensive price, which we used to say 'backside itchy' like the Germans.
And yet India is acting tough with the Arab Muslim world. Many are saying that Ukraine is the downfall of the EU. Gaza is going to be the downfall of India. Actually, it is not downfall when you are still relatively at the bottom of the food chain.
India is anti Muslims. See how they bullied their Muslims, passing laws against the Muslims.
ReplyDeleteAnd India is so cocky and greedy to want to annex Kashmir that is mainly occupied by Muslim majority. This is like imbibing poison and hope the poison would not spread. The Muslims in Kashmir would be against the Hindu government in India.
The fact is, even if China grows at 5%, more than US$800 billion is added to its GDP every year.
ReplyDeleteIf India were to grow, let us say at 10%, US$330 billion is added to its GDP every year. This is just a simple calculation, ignoring the effect of compounding. Unless China stops growing completely for the next couple of decades, how is India ever going to overtake China I just wonder.
