Chinese consumption is growing double digits year after year and the local Chinese brands are in more and more cases winning out against international ones in the Chinese domestic markets. Ordos is a extreme example. But you have to understand that even when homes remains empty in China quite a...

That consumption is what has led India to where it is today. The consistant current account deficits of India was in the past financed by hot money inflows. Now that those funds are drying up India is in trouble. You keep claiming that India is entering the manufacturing realm but last month...

Government economic data is unreliable no matter which country it is. Its not something unique to China, at least in China we recognise this fact something that perhabs our Indian members haven't yet about the economic data coming from India If you think that the economic data from America...

I have said it here before in every China Pakistan thread just ignore the Indians.

I always say that China will become Japan if China behaves like Japan. The risk of China going into a Japan like coma comes from the fact that like Japan in the 1980's there is a housing bubble that has build up in China through easy credits. And when the bubble burst Japan instead of allowing...

The fact that the Rupee is still falling means that their isn't much FDI inflows to India and that the trade deficit is still a big problem. And India's currency has been falling for more than 2 years now when are we going to start to see the pick up in production ? The rate of industrial...

The trade corridors is not a deus ex machina for India's economic problems. The weaker currency means that imports of amongst other things raw material and energy are going to rise in price and that in turn is going to drive up the costs of production. And the weakening currency is also...

Excuse me of being skeptical we have been hearing this about India for the umptieth time for the past 10 years. That India is about to turn the corner on industry this or that. I will believe it when i see it. So far there is no evidence of that and it seems that the lower end manufactures...

Developing countries are in a catch 22 situation. In order to prevent their currencies from falling they will have to tighten monetary policy. But by tightening monetary policy they will reduce growth and with reduced growth hot money outflows will excellerate. And their currencies will continue...

The problem that India faces is the same as other developing countries including China. As growth slows there is capital outflows as the hot money is going elsewhere looking for higher returns. Most likely the money is going into commodity speculation. As the economy slows and the demand wanes...

Here are the most recent data from the World Bank on global GDP. US GDP (nominal) 15685 billion $ and China 8227 billion $ China GDP = 52,5% of the US US GDP (PPP) 15685 billion $ and China 12471 billion $ China GDP = 79,5% of the US US per capita income (nominal) = $49793 and China = $6076...

Indians have had holier then thou attitude towards China throughout this forum. So don't dish it out if you can't take It in. I would still take the advice. I would dispute your claim that everything is resolved with Bangladesh.

50000 tons for a LHD much be a mistake. A misprint perhabs ? The Type 081 or is it Type 075 LHD will be between 30000 to 40000 tons max.

Isn't India using its size to "bully" its neighbors ? And how much respect does India get from its neighbors ? Why don't Indian members here give me some anwsers on the issue's that i raise and not go off on a rant about China.

You didn't anwser my question and just go off on a rant. China is only unpopular with countries that China has territorial disputes with like India, Vietnam, Philipinnes and Japan. China doesn't have any problems with other countries in the region. And so far those disputes haven't caused any...

The Question India should ask herself is why is India so unpopular in her own region. Not just with China and Pakistan but also with the other countries in the region like Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, etc. If India works to improve her relations with her neighbors then perhabs India doesn't have to...

Personally i'm a bit skeptical that the Israeli's have fitted the Barak 8 missile's on the Sa'ar 5 class corvettes. Those ships are small about 1227 tons full load. That's even smaller than the Type 056 corvettes. The Sa'ar 5 class corvettes are known to be top heavy and the additional weight of...

Try to stay beyond the Brahmos range of 290km and use air or sea launched YJ-12 (500km/mach 6) to attack. If that fails we still have the FL-3000N system and Type 730 CIWS and jammers and decoys. PS i suppose those Bramos are coastal launched versions right ? Which Vietnamese ships can carry...

Serial production of the WS-10A only started in 2010. So it has been in production for only 3 years. There are still issue's with the WS-10A at this point and is not yet reliable enough for single engine planes like the J-10. As for the Vikaramdity vs Liaoning comparison read my post #196.

No big deal we sell arms to Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka all the time. Fair is fair. Nothing that India sells that we can't handle.
