In 2005 Western economist predicted that India will surpass China in 2010. What we see in 2010? India is only the 10th economic power while China will be the 2nd major economic power in 2010. According to Forbes China has surpassed India in number of Billionares despite that fact that income is more equitably distributed in China compare to India. Westerners are dreaming that India will surpass CHina in etc etc. But what we see in 2010. India is still 20 years lagging behind China in infrastructure, sanitation, basic health care etc. Indians are still poorer, dirtier, darker and Mumbai and NDelhi the dirtiest citiies in the World compare to modern and extravaganza cities of Shanghai, Guangzhou etc.
So in 2020 Indian growth rate will surpass that of China but this does not mean that Indian economy will surpass that of China. China's growth rate is surpassing that of India since the 80's so India is 20 years behind. In many sectors China is not only world no1 but far ahead of India. The myth of India surpassing China is a Westerner dream, a dream inflated by Western fear of CHina.
Westerners are praying India to surpass China and using India in a proxy war against China. India is becoming a muppet nation used to offset Chinese growing economic power.
In 2009 Soros and western investors predicted that China would burst out and fall apart due to real estate speculation and highly inflated economic growth. But what have we seen? It is Europe and the EUro which are falling apart due to heavy debt crisis in Greece, Spain, Portugal Uk etc
In 2009 China is declared the biggest polluting foe in the World. But what we see in 2010? British Petroleum making massive oil spilling off the coast of the US killing the unique fauna there.
Again in 2008 Westerners predicted that China would not be able to organize the Beijing Olympic and due to pollution many events would need to be cancelled. In contrast China had staged the biggest show in the World with record breaking sporting events in swimming and athletics
despite Sichuan earthquake caused by US magnetic bomb and CIA funded Tibetan and Ouighour riots. India could organize the Olympic and World expo only in a Bollywood film. The Shanghai world expo is the biggest such event organized.
