Well, the Indians also think that what happened and is
happening to China will not happen to them. India's turn will come when
it is no longer useful to the USA.
Now, Modi's headdress is
going to get bigger after being praised as the 'Leader of the QUAD' by
Biden. That sure lifted Modi's ego to a higher level.
Modi ought
to ask Biden when the India/Middle East/Europe Corridor is going to
start construction. When is the railroad across the Pacific from USA to
India going to start construction. There is nothing to be shy about such
big projects as China is surely not going to be interested in bidding
for projects that floats in the air.
It is so easy being USA
President just saying things that cannot be done and getting away with
it. Trump will surely have nothing to do with whatever corridors or back
lanes as he is all for USA and to Make America Great Once again, not
make India great definitely.

ReplyDeleteWhy India cannot surpassed China.
Even said by LKY.
UAss just using India as another sucker for their self interests.
Indians egoistic thought that the Americunts are looking up to them.
One video stating will the UAssA allowed the Rise of India?
Definetely NOT! No one could upset the Barbaric Americunts.
There is one 'Red Line' in the West that can never be crossed. That is telling the world that Communism is doing better than Democracy. That reality is happening with Communist China, but the fantasy that democracy will always triumph communism is still being trumpeted to no avail. Otherwise, why is there such a need for the USA and the West to counter China economically at all costs today? Why is there all the hubris about having to protect democracy around the world if it is still a triumphant system? When companies lost the competition, advertising is necessary and logical.
ReplyDeleteAnd that is why India can never be the next China, not to talk about surpassing China. India is, in fact, handicapped and stifled by its democratic system of Government, where even farting needs the consensus of the voters. The actions of the Indian Government are held hostage by the need to cater to voters every few years. Things do not move smoothly in every endeavor, be it high speed rails, overhauling its agricultural system, securing land for infrastructures on top of a cumbersome administrative system inherited from the British that hampers progress.
China is able to progress so fast because the Government is not held hostage by voters and partisan needs, but solely catering to national interest and needs. The Government charts the direction and the private sector investors follow the route set up. Every investor knows what and where to invest in, what and where the priorities are and are confident that the direction taken is not going to falter and support hampered. That is why China dominates in most sectors of the global economy, be it shipbuilding, motor vehicles production, manufacturing and now putting all the priorities into semiconductors.
If India thinks that the USA will allow it to rise like China to challenge the USA, it is mistaken. They have only to look at Japan and Germany, and now China to draw its conclusion.

ReplyDeleteIndia could not be the next China
People can argue until the cows come home, but for them, predicting that India will be the next China or surpassing China is just a fantasy cooked up by fertile minds. Several decades further down the road may be a feasible fantasy, but then China could also not just remain stagnant and by then already the No. 1 economic power in the world with the BRICS global currency and settlement system well entrenched for the rest of the world to adopt, free from impending sanctions and subterfuge.
ReplyDeleteThe Indians will think so that India is the next China, and you better not throw spanners against their castles in the air. The West will think so too, and they can flock to India to help. Hopefully they do not flee from India when facing the Indian system of predatory moves to take over their investments when they succeed against local Indian ventures. The list of who and who that got caught and clobbered in India are all top-notch investors from various countries, like Apple, Foxconn, Xiaomi, BYD, DJI and now Samsung and Netflix.
The Indian consumer market is too big to ignore for most companies and they still want to be part of the Indian upcoming miracle, despite the risks involved, hoping to harvest what they experienced by emulating their ventures in China. But, on hindsight, it will be a long bet, perhaps decades into the future for their dreams to be fulfilled. There are so many obstacles to overcome today for India.
Massive poverty eradication needs to be carried out first in order to produce the consumers capable of having the buying power like those in China today. This alone is a high mountain to climb, knowing that the mindset of Indians is strongly resistant to change or even criticism. Just look at the language issue in India alone, with no common language in place to promote national policies and advancing agendas. China just did the impossible by making Mandarin the common language adopted by all the 1.4 billion Chinese, with dialects still intact.
Infrastructure is also lacking in India notwithstanding the Indian Government trying to address this shortcoming. Without an adequate fast and efficient transport system, manufacturing is going to face obstacles getting supplies and moving finished goods out on time and according to schedule. But like the high-speed rail, taking all the time in the world to get it done is not a solution.
Skilled manpower for India to move into manufacturing is still in short supply and training periods are not just a matter of months. It takes years to reshape the education policies of India that had been catering to the service sector, and a game changer is really needed in order to turn out skilled engineers and STEM graduates in large numbers instead.
Above all, the Indian population is growing too fast for its economy to absorb the jobs needed to lift people out of poverty. Nothing will work by putting the cart before the horse. It may move backwards rather than forward.
