A shaky, trembling dragon

[Chinese-Dragon]

I wonder if Indians get some sort of excitement from constantly hoping that China will collapse.

Or if they get equally excited over the Indian media's constant predictions of a Sino-Indian war:

China could attack India before 2012 - NDTV.com

I don't know how some people can get so excited over the prospect of a war.

if China doesn't wakes up now then I would consider its poeple to spiritless,shameful and cowards.Grow up China you deserve a free country, stop being in a GOLDEN CAGE!!

Ah, Indian Defence Review...

The same "think tank", that predicted China would collapse, due to the 2008 Credit Crunch.

The Fall of the Dragon - Indian Defence Review

Someone there must have been disappointed.

Indian wet dream

 

[EjazR]

Well its true that a more democratic Arab world will be favourable to a democratic India and unfavourable to an authoritarian China in the long run.

But the Indian Defence REview is hardly a credible or widely read portal.

Some important think tank that also influences police decisions are
IDSA
IPCS
Observer Research Foundation

Read their papers to see policy views on China from Indian prespective

Can someone define
1. What freedoms are they pushing for China to achieve?
2. How will it benefit the common man in terms of scales of economy? i.e Housing, education, infrastructure etc

Not really interested in political freedom btw, unless you can justify how it will help in point no 2

Nothing concrete in the article,just some grossly miscalculated assumption's,plus the condition's of china and Arab r vastly different,even if some sissent happens,China will crush it easily for sure,we already have examples.

China is up because that world is trembling, as Napolean said.

But is india still sleeping? the answer is definitly 'yes' because a failed state 'india' keeps cooking up stories about one of the most successful countries China in the century is like a pupile lecturing a university student about politics and micro/macro-econimics! its ludicrous``

Verma tends to hype issues and is short on arguable facts it appears.

 

[LaBong]

At least they didn't say it as Indian Army think tank this time.

Is India a failed state?

One has not understood as to what theory you are applying to come to his excellent conclusion.

The world however takes the following to be a failed state:

The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace has tried to come up with a failed-state definition. By its measure a failed state is characterized by a loss of control of its territory or loss of the monopoly on the legitimate use of force.

Others define failure as the lack of ability to make collective decisions, or the capacity to deliver public services. Signs that a state is failing might be the over-importance of the black market, failure to collect taxes, or recurring episodes of large-scale civil disobedience.

Of course, it is a matter of interpretation of the English language!

Well the fact that India is suceeding despite its odds while China is developing with everything put in the right place and right time...well it proves who is more stubborn and resilient.During recession China pumped in $500 billion + in its economy to grow while India pumped in only $28 billion for an economy only 4th the size.That means something is really wrong with Chinese Management.

Something is wrong with Chinese management? How does that explain why we outperform you in pretty much every single economic indicator?

Here is an example of bad management... 1.5 trillion US dollars sitting in Swiss Bank accounts.

brother you outperform a country who is 12 years behind you in opening up its economy...now for example how was Beijing Airport in 1998....and How was Delhi Airport in 2010...your GDP in 1998 was marginally below a trillion while ours set to 1998's inflation is $1.1 trillion....though our present GDP is $1.7 trillion....we are surely outperformin you when you come to stand at our level...

"A mosquito may fly at great heights but can never be taller than man."

its only a matter of time we get wings to fly to level and spray Baygon in our face.
You know whats the specialty of a tiger:- it crouches near to the arrogant dear in camouflage and then leaps on to kill.It may be unsuccessful in several attempts but it surely get the deer one day.

Our economies were a similar size in 1990. So we started at the same level.

The DIFFERENCE... is that we had sustained double-digit growth rates for several decades. India on the other hand, hasn't even reached double-digit growth yet.

The result is that we are now the second-largest economy on Earth, while India is not even in the top ten largest economies.

So you can dream of "spraying Baygon" in our face all you want.
