Looked at it. The GINI index calculation says that inequality in China is worse than in India. Also, going by PPP GDP (which is the correct thing to do as official exchange rates are highly manipulated), China is 2.5 times India's output. This means that India is no slouch. India has a PPP GDP of $4Trillion. That is not a small thing at all. Definitely nowhere near the amount of ridicule that the Chinese members dish out. There are so many countries doing fantastically worse than India and have no hopes to get out of their sordid situation. Even then, you wouldnt want to ridicule those countries but strive to offer constructive solutions. My guess is that a $1 in India produces more profit than $1 in China as the margins in India are higher. That is good for a business person. Also, in China, 2/3rd of the market capitalization comes from state owned companies while in India, it comes from privately held companies. The Indian model is the American model, more or less (service business, private enterprise, etc.) while the Chinese model seems to be more on the government directed growth model. These are two different model and as such cannot be compared. The dynamics are different, the rules required are different, the energy utilization and associated pollution is different. While the models are different, I really dont see why the Chinese model is superior. For me they are just different, with both striving to lift millions out of abject poverty.
