'India may have competitive edge over China'

[Aramsogo]

You understand that RAND is essentially an arm of the US Air Force??
They haven't done anything since simplex method 50 years ago.

China and India, 2025: A Comparative Assessment | RAND

China and India, the world's two most populous countries, will exercise increasing influence in international affairs in the coming decades, and each country's role on the world stage will be affected by the progress that it makes and by the competition and cooperation that develop between them. This monograph focuses on the progress China and India seem likely to achieve from 2010 through 2025 in four domains: demography, macroeconomics, science and technology, and defense spending and procurement. In each domain, the authors seek answers to these questions: Who is ahead? By how much? and Why? The authors find that India has distinct advantages over China in terms of demographics; that the two countries are surprisingly close in terms of forecasted economic growth, although China's overall economic output is likely to remain significantly higher than India's; and that, for both science and technology and defense spending and procurement, China's current substantial margins over India are likely to rise but by amounts that will vary widely depending on several alternative scenarios. The monograph concludes with implications for policy and for further research.


This is the actual full paper launched by RAND.

So RAND predicts that China will have higher growth rates than India even in 2025?

China's depedency ratio is lower than India's and will continue to be lower until 2030. This directly refutes claims by people saying that India's demographics are an immediate advantage. It's not.

LOL I need to bookmark this one...

I think Aramsogo didn't see this part !!

The talk of employability by multinationals focuses more on their English and cultural skills, rather than their actual engineering training.

There is no doubt who has superior actual engineering training. China produces far more engineering papers and patents each year than India does and those don't grow on trees.

China is starting to reverse the sex ratio problem with education, cultural changes, and cash incentives, but in India it will get far worse due to a lack of government for anything other than skimming money.

 

[Whazzup]

China is definitely better than India and at current situation the best thing for India would be to just follow China step by step
rather than seeing the competitive edge we posses over them.

Last checked, India fares even lower than Pakistan in ease of doing business.

And after destroying American gainst like Microsoft, HP and Adobe with their dumb labour and outsourcing, i doubt anyone would trust Indian "technological" skills.

Uptil Adobe CS3 which was developed by American and European programmers, it supported a full range of languages including right to left ones..however since Indians have taken over Adobe, it is constantly losing a slack of features to the point that it has turned into a high-tech version of paint.

Since HP has started large scale outsourcing to India, it has taken a serious nose dive..to the point that it has been disqualified from Saudi government purchases and now Dell has the exclusive deal..Micheal Dell came to KSA with full vigour to sign it.

Most of the Indian graduates are non-employable as per their own statistics and then is the problem of professionalism..what is indian ego all about??

Competition is good, we hope to see more new inventions in next decade! I love both China and India but India has long way to go, at the moment I feel India is 18-25 years behind.

Completely true actually we are a way back of China right now we may come at the china's current condition only at 2020.

C-D, which section of BR?? BR is always good for a laugh, sh!ts & giggles.

Rediff.com? LOL.

Instead of filtering through the Indian media, why not actually read the RAND report itself?

China and India, 2025: A Comparative Assessment | RAND

Your Indian friends on BR forum, who actually read the report, are not very happy with it. In their words, it is: "Too optimistic on panda. Unrealistically pessimistic on India".

 

[aakash_2410]

China: Started Economic reforms in 1974-1978
India: Started Economic reforms in 1990-1991

China:Already invested a fortune in infrastructure and having results. [Double digit growth]
India: Yet to invest in squeaky, old infrastructure so not yet reached the full potential.

China: Predicted to take over US by 2025
India: Predicted to take over US by 2045 [20 years of gap.]


But Goldman Sachs predicted that by 2060 India would have the largest economy and population. [Obviously due to population.]

Oh yes, it is the best comedy on the interwebs.

I can't give a direct link here, but just put this phrase below into any search engine (with quotes included).

"Too optimistic on Panda. Unrealistically pessimist on India"

 

[Chinese-Dragon]

I would be wary of these predictions, even the short term ones like this one below:

I remember there was a lot of excitement on this thread a while back. Results haven't been great though.

 

[CardSharp]

So RAND predicts that China will have higher growth rates than India even in 2025?

RAND didn't predict the GDP figures, they selected 27 studies from different places and did a meta-study of predictions of GDP growth.

They give the average, the high ball and low ball figures.

yh they should hire pakistanis

 

[prabhu]

Pakistan's economy may grow slow, but it has no bubble, we respect you call center boom, or you can call it Office Outsourcing Center. But India has to respect the fact such as,

Every 2 and a half year, China can make a GDP India, that's a widening gap.

what make India a more conducive environment than China, Corruption? Insurgency? Weapon amass? or Soulless ProWest young people, taking about innovation?hardly possible.

what makes is its neither brainwashed country living off others money nor is it a communist controlled yh and on corruption watch the recent developments btw what can u do abt it NRP? owners pride is others envy
