Bangladesh's per capita GDP now higher than eastern and northeastern India

Let's look at Thai Govt. initiative which they undertook back in the early 2000's to go from Thai 1.0 initiative (agri exports such as coconut juice, canned fruit, shrimp and fruit juice exports etc.), to Thai 2.0 initiative (light industry) and on to Thai 3.0 initiative (advanced industry). Now they also inaugurated Thai 4.0 initiative in 2016 - which is digital transformation to boost innovation and competitiveness for the nation. I don't believe we in Bangladesh have any such initiative formally - however the govt. has declared a few export-intensive sectors as thrust sectors such as light engg. and shipbuilding along with pharma, ceramics and IT exports.

Here are some elaborate explanations about Thailand from a few years ago.

Thailand’s FDI applications up 69% in the first nine months of 2019

The total value of FDI applications received by the BOI in the nine months to September increased 69% from the year earlier period, to a total value of 203.37 billion baht, according to the latest data from the BOI

Thailand continued to attract rising foreign direct investment (FDI) in the first nine months of 2019, with increased number of investment project applications according to public agency Thailand Board of Investment (BOI).

Applications for investments in the targeted industries, led by electronics and electrical sector, digital sector and automotive sector, represented 131.78 billion baht, or 65 percent of the total.

The total value of FDI applications received by the BOI in the nine months to September increased 69% from the year earlier period, to a total value of 203.37 billion baht, according to the latest data from the BOI.

In terms of the source of the foreign direct investment applications, out of a total of 689 projects, Japanese companies, which have long been the largest source of Thailand’s FDIs, ranked first with applications for 167 projects worth 59.19 billion baht, followed by China, with 139 projects worth 45.44 billion baht, and Switzerland, with 15 projects worth 11.71 billion baht, BOI data showed.

“The data for the applications we received in those nine months confirms Thailand’s continued attractiveness as an investment destination, despite the fluctuations seen in the global economy,”

MS DUANGJAI ASAWACHINTACHIT, SECRETARY GENERAL OF THE BOI.
“With the recently-rolled out investment promotion privileges under the Thailand Plus Package aimed at investment acceleration and further measures to improve the country’s investment ecosystem and ease of doing business, we expect the growth momentum of FDI and overall investment in Thailand to continue to expand into 2020.”

Meanwhile the overall investment applications, including domestic investments, submitted to the BOI in the nine-month period amounted to 1,165 projects, an increase of 11% from the same period last year. About half of these applications or 585 are for projects in the targeted industries, including the digital sector, which came on top with 143 projects, followed by agriculture and food processing with 132 projects, and the electronics and electrical sector, which saw 103 projects.

Thailand seeming being in middle income traps but their nominal gdp per capita is reaching 7600 US dollar, almost at the same level of Turkey at 9600 us dollar. Thailand had long advantage as center of automotive production in ASEAN, one notch better than Indonesia, had many hardware for computer manufacturing facilities and their tourism industry attract more than 25 million foreign visitor annualy.

Most of ASEAN countries love to devalued their currency against US DOLLAR to giving edge in export sector and tourism industry, thats why the likes of Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia seeming had low income but actually had the better standard of living compared to their peer, especially the likes in South America and South Asia.

Actually Thailand has reached it's limits and it is not producing any real indigenous tech unlike Turkey.

1. Turkey Nominal per capita : 9000 US dollars PPP per capita: 28,000 US dollars
2. Thailand Nominal per capita: 8000 US dollars PPP per capita: 20,000 US dollars


Turkey is growing it's per capita at 2-3% at while Thailand is also at 2-3% but Turkey is much richer and is in a difficult geopolitical situation right now.

You cannot compare compare Turkey that is heading towards high income by 2030 while Thailand is solidly stuck in the "middle-income trap"

You know what, a piece of turd MLA Aminul Islam of the Bangladeshi geda miya party AIUDF in Assam dared to say this same fabricated lie few days back against my community. We made sure that he knelt down before the statue of Chaolung Sukaphaa to seek his apology and then garlanded his statue in penance. Needless to say that he won't be entering Upper Assam anytime soon.

Your lies are only for the wet dreams of your miya coterie outside India and isn't even worth getting into a debate/discussion.

As a gentleman he apologized but he didn’t say he was wrong. However he should say ancestors of Ahom are from Southern China which is a established fact.

MLA Aminul Islam did not invent the history of the all-male Chinese invasion of Assam and marrying low-breed tribal women and you are their stupid descendants. You guys forced him to apologize for speaking the truth but history cannot be changed.

It is time you left Assam and go back to China or at least to Arunachal and leave Assam to the Bengali Muslims and Hindus who have settled there before 1947.

Ah, baby. this is about Bangladesh and India. it has nothing to do with China, I will not get involved in this debate.

so please stop talking about China. Manage your mouth.

Yes - I haven't been to Indonesia (been to Malaysia and Thailand) but with at hand personal experience figured as much that these countries generally had a better standard of living compared to South Asia.

Thailand produces (among other vehicles) a lot of pickup trucks (locally used and exported to US market). The US market Chevy Colorado GMC Canyon and associated Australian Holden mid-size truck models (and the Duramax engines that go into them) are made in Thailand.

On a side note - one of my longtime dreams has been to take couple of months of sabbatical time off and charter a large Phinisi sailboat through the islands of Sulawesi. Have to be brush up on my Bahasa Indonesia though...

The loudmouth geda miya didn't only apologise, he literally prostrated before the great warrior worshipping his idol in full media glare. That should tell you a lot about his false claims and what happens to those who rile us in our state.

Coming to which, i have mentioned many times before that there are close to two dozens of Tibeto-Burman and Austro Asiatic tribes in Assam other than us Tai(Ahoms) living here for thousands of years. You Bangladeshi miya fools deliberately want to confuse the uninitiated between the Ahoms and Assamese, for which none of your false claims holds any ground. Anyway, Bangladeshi miyas can never be Assamese or Indians.

Ah, baby. this is about Bangladesh and India. it has nothing to do with China, I will not get involved in this debate.

Well said, friend! But the truth is that these ethnofascist Bangladeshi miyas have overt racist tendencies towards the Chinese and those of tribal origin. You only need to know how they treat their tribals in BD to come to conclusion. These snakes can never be trusted.

 

[Nilgiri]

@Nilgiri, please write some fictions instead of bashing BD over and over. You will fail Sharatchandra Chatterjee, no doubt. Why are you tagging @Axomiya_lora? He/she is a descendant of Chinese invaders in the 1150s. Almost all the Assamese are half-Chinese and half-tribal.

OK now go focus on propping up your soiled underwears, even though they are taxed at 0 by big wealthy buyers

They are basically ready to buy all you can make (and easily substitute 150 billion they import from China which they tax at 15%), but your sales are declining. Even simple beggar sector job is failing in BD, how sad!

Just imagine if BD is on level playing field lol, i guess 30 billion equity LDC with junk credit rating will never be ready.

Lol. Bangladeshi Miyai or Indian Assamese Miya whatever it is after NRC they already proved them as Assamese and in next 2-3 decades they will be majority. Be nice and gentle otherwise payback time is near!

Try to start contacting CCP if they allow to take you as an escape route if it becomes necessary provided you backward lot are not welcome at the mainland India.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahom_people

The Ahom (Pron: /ˈɑːhɒm/), or Tai-Ahom is an ethnic group found today in the Indian states of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh. They are the admixed descendants of the Tai people who reached the Brahmaputra valley of Assam in 1228 and the local people who joined them over the course of history. Sukaphaa, the leader of the Tai group and his 9000 followers established the Ahom kingdom(1228–1826 CE), which controlled much of the Bramhaputra Valley in modern Assam until 1826.

You people should start identifying yourself as bengali instead of a stolen identity and language.

What do you want me to do? I have only said what the demographic history of Assam teaches. It is true that the present Ahoms are the descendants of those MALES-only Chinese (9,000 males in 1150s) somewhere from near Kunming who married the local women.

It is the truth and why do you want me to shut my mouth? And why the Ahoms should feel inferiority complex at hearing their roots lies in China south? I was complaining that these same Ahoms ask Bengali settlers (since 1205) there to be expelled when they themselves are settlers only 50 years before.

Similarly, many of the Bengalis also married local women, if not all. So, why double standard against the Bengali settlers when there was no distinction between old-time Bengal and Assam.

 

[namefield_empty]

They are the admixed descendants of the Tai people who reached the Brahmaputra

Madrassa educated folks are bereft of comprehension ability. Our ancestors came here and admixed with the already present Kachari people to form the Greater Assamese society which extended as far as some Naga tribes and the Meiteis of Manipur.

And why the Ahoms should feel inferiority complex at hearing their roots lies in China south? I was complaining that these same Ahoms ask Bengali settlers (since 1205)

Who told you that the Ahoms are ashamed of their ancestral roots? Unlike the Bangladeshi miyas and Pakistanis who chose to shun their pre Hindu and Buddhist past, our ancestral customs are well entrenched in our culture.

And what nonsense are you blabbering about 1205, oh is it that humiliating defeat of Bakhtiyar Khilji at the hands of the Kochs. Those muslim prisoners in 1205 weren't even Bengali muslims to begin with. Your history in Assam starts in the last few decades prior to the partition of India when the gedas were brought here by the British. And then you continued to infiltrate here like termites and pests in the decades post independence.

We will drive you illegal miyas out of the North East India. Only kind of muslims to be allowed are the khilonjia ones that identify with our culture.

You again have started blabbering about protecting your culture. Culture for sure you can protract but can not impose your culture on others. Bengalis are third largest ethnic group in the world who doesn’t like to associate with the inferior primitive culture like yours but have not seen they are opposing it. As Bengalis are majority so they identify them as Bengali not as Assamese. Expecting them by force to identify as Assamese is nothing but oxymoron.

The earlier you accept reality Bengalis are majority now it is better for you lot. More denial to this fact will lead to downward drift of your backward and poor people.

Identifying as Bengali was initiated by Bengali Hindus first. Bengali Muslim that time in 1951 identified as Assamese which may not happen in 2021. You will get real taste of the food of your own making soon. This is no longer 1950.

Plus after NRC you better stop quoting same thing you will expel Bengali Muslim as it is not going going to happen rather it’s the time they have started to prepare to rule entire Assam as they are on way to become majority.
