I fear our friend has not had a proper education. He believes 1/8 is equal to 8x.

Can anything be better, hope they put more emphasis on Semiconductor fabrication technology, and advanced material science.

yes thats right. To improve the effective value of conductors and super and semi conductors used in super computers.

Predictable mentality.. could not resist including China in the title.
Why this need to compare?

PDF journalist syndrome!

8 times more than china??

It is called wet dreaming, look at the post from the OP:

Only about US $3 billion??

Why china is spending so low on science and technology for next five years ?????????

India is spending US$ 24 billion on Science and Technology

India is spending 8 times bigger amount US$ 24 billion against china's US$ 3 billion

India prepares to boost science : Nature News & Comment

India commits to boosting science - Five year spending plan backs massive investment in research and scientific facilities.

If wet dreaming is enough, then stop reading here.

NO, this is a problem older than time.
It's the same problem that had kings of old copulating again and again so they could outpace the number of heirs of their rivals while "traders" settled and created the East India company.

There is comparison and there is obsession.. it seems the driver of psyche here is the latter.
Comparison compels you to set benchmarks and perform better, Obsession has you stuck in achieving only that level.

Don't they feel ashamed though?

They were claiming - against ALL logic and reason - that India is spending 8 times more on research and development than China.

Anyone who thought about it for 5 seconds would realize how stupid that is.

Now the actual numbers have come out, and it turns out that it almost the exact opposite. China is spending almost 10 times more on R&D than India is, even though we have similar populations. Don't they feel ashamed to make a claim that is the exact opposite of reality?

The claim is besides the point. It's the problem in the subcontinent to blow up figures and achievements to assuage an ego shattered by a 100 year rule by the British. Unfortunately that is the wrong medicine. To a certain extent this problem sits with certain Chinese with regards to the US. Yet leaders like Zhou Enlai and others were able to keep the focus on China and not "China compared with XY" to keep a national focus.

Sure, China also aspires to follow the US or other nations in some aspects.. but not to beat them.. but to beat China's own benchmarks.

I would be ashamed to make such a stupid claim that makes zero sense.

That's like a beggar on the street mocking Li Ka-shing for being poor. It's so stupid and illogical it beggars belief.

They should at least come up with something that is halfway believable. Like maybe claim that India spends the same amount on R&D as China, at least that is only wrong by a factor of 10.

I agree!!! it's found in every household, obsessing about neighbors kids exam results to friends paycheck to colleague's car.

I have to say this is a spot-on post.

On the other hand, China studies every country in areas it deems worthy of following, even India. No doubt that China has followed US in many areas, such as military and interstate highway system (China basically followed every technical aspect of the US interstate highway system including the signage system, with the only exception being the funding procedures). But China also follows the footsteps of Japan and Europe, HSR for instance, and the public bike system from the north Europe, etc. Plus, they sent people to Brazil to gain experience for the three gorges dam; they sent people to Brazil and Columbia to learn about BRT(bus rapid transportation); they even sent people to India to study its free lunch program in primary schools. I think China is trying to learn from the best in the world, not necessarily from one 'best' country.

Apparently, because Chinese are only spending $3 billion on Science & Technology. But I don't think the Indians understood what the Chinese were referring the $3 billion to.

China R&D spending passed $160B in 2012 | ZDNet

Those $24 Billion will be coming from the governments kitty.So maybe it was a Government to Government funding comparison,who knows

India is nowhere near the best of the world. Yes, Europeans and Northern Americans are up there, and China had to learn what they did good because China was the 2nd poorest country on the planet circa 1980 (only Mozambique was poorer).

India today has an average income (adjusted for purchasing power) 40% that of China, and the gap is becoming larger. They are in the top 10 poorest countries outside of sub-Saharan Africa for God's sake! (And Africans shouldn't even count. People who don't even try shouldn't be compared to.)

Provide proof for your claims.

India has mastered many fields of sophisticated technologies:

Space travel, IT, pharma, car industry, shipbuilding etc etc...

And India is among the 10 largest economies, not among the poorest.
