Amid border tensions, Chinese Engineers dig tunnel for Delhi Metro line

This is exactly what I wanted to emphasize when the two giants do business with each other..the trust develops and so the defense spending decreases, India will emphasize more on indegenization as compared to buying off the shelf since then they will not have urgent threat preception which they have due to the mistrust developed with its neighbours

for that china has to remove its trade barriers such as in pharmaceuticals and information technology industry as we speak the trade deficit is increasing we are only making huge losses by trading with china
 
Always be happy when China and India cooperate, border problem should be solved ASAP.
I am also happy to see china and india cooperate.

but there is no solution to solve the border problem asap.best solution could be: dont solve this problem in the next 50 years. and keep yearly border talk for next 50 years...maybe after 50 years, there will be no border anymore.
 
Kidding us, India is buying 60% military equipment for the Future from US...what world order would you establish.
Buying military equipment has just nothing to do with establishing a New World Order. The Americans will even sell their mothers for bucks. Their military industrial complex is what makes the US economy tick. They'll sell anything for those lucrative dollars. NWO or no NWO! Are you aware that even equipment as small as air filters of the TATRA vehicles made in the erstwhile Soviet Union were exported by the US of A to them in spite of the cold war?

So please don't confuse the two issues.
 
What proportion of the cost of the metro goes to China do you think? Well under 0.1%. There is no shame in taking assistance from those who know more than you. The Delhi metro was the first metro in all of India so naturally outside experts were brought in other wise it would've been a cluster f*** from the get go. The Chinese had significantly more experience in such arenas than India at the time- they had previously constructed many metros, India had not. Today, with the help of the Japense,French,Chinese,Germens,Canadians etc the Delhi metro is one of the best and largest subway systems on the planet- all sides win.


For sure Indian players are now filling this niche and applying the lessons they have learnt from foreigners-look at newer metro projects, the foreign involvement is signifanclty less.

It is not about the proportion of the cost of the metro going to foreign companies though I would be curious to know how you arrived at that no of 0.1%. It is about how self-sufficient we become with the infrastructure building. The phase 1 of Delhi Metro was inaugurated in 2002. It has been 11 years and still why is the need for involving foreign companies. Look at China at the sametime and its HSR infrastructure layout. The Chinese HSR was started with technology transfers from Siemens and other companies after 2002(in fact in 2004) and now they do not involve any foreign companies in the HSR railway infrastructure building and now have layed out world's largest network of HSR.

maybe you think the two are your advantage.
sorry to tell you some basic facts:
1. in 2012 we import more than 33 billion $ medicine .which is bigger than your whole medicine industry.that means if you produce really good medicine,we have the ability to buy all.so called BARRIER is a joke.
2.IT,i should say India has a long long way to go.if you want to say sofeware industry,long way to go too.sofeware outsourcing,India did well for cheaper laborforce than the west,but compared to China,India companies lose such advantage.and indians dont speak Chinese,not to mention to understand Chinese customers well.still a long way to go.
