Investing in India - Chinese investors should avoid India at all costs

I honestly pity the Indian people but cannot tolerate the boasting by its leaders and some Indians about India being the next global superpower and overtaking China by being the next factory of the world. The state of the country already tells us that it is too lacking in infrastructure development and clearly overly optimistic to keep boasting when people have eyes to see.

Investors have completely avoided India over its opaque policies targeting foreign entities and imposing huge fines using antique regulations just to hijack and get hold of businesses that have been nursed into profitability after operating in India for years. This is a fatal mistake for India. The Chinese have gone through much experience in dealing with India, and now that India is trying to lure Chinese investors, China must exercise extreme caution treading in India. Bad Indian habits die hard and once bitten twice shy should be China's policy. 
Why is India deemed a doomed country? India's currency must be among the worst performingChinese investors should avoid India at all costs.
 currency in the world today. Of course, the Indians will be angry and choose to differ, as there are countries in Africa doing even worse with their currencies. It is not a good sign to have such a mentality of denial whenever criticism is not in India's favor.

What about India's infrastructure and manufacturing growth? Same old same old boasting about becoming the best there is and the best there will be without the reality to back it up. India still relies on Chinese supply chains, even for factories moving into India like Apple. How can there be a possibility of India overtaking China when basic supply chains are non-existent.

India is yet facing another big problem with AI. China betted on manufacturing, while India betted on services, setting up call and servicing centers for foreign companies. Those jobs are going to be wiped away by AI.

How bad are infrastructures in India has just been exposed at the India Open 2026 Badminton venue, with complaints about bird droppings on court and monkeys sitting with spectators. There were also huge piles of rubbish outside the venue. What ensued was a blaming game erupting among Indian leaders.

How is India going to bid for the 2036 Olympic Games with such venues is unbelievable. This is India's eighth attempt in bidding for the Olympics. Just think how many decades ago the Indians have tried to host the Olympics with even worse infrastructures then existing. Little wonder those attempts were rejected.

Why is India so adamant in bidding for the Olympics 2036. I have a personal theory. Many foreign athletes, just like some badminton players, will undoubtedly avoid going to India, so that means India can win many more gold medals without top contenders participating. India can then also boast about its achievements and be called a sporting superpower like China. Isn't that a great idea?
