To be honest, this sounds very much like a propaganda article CCP mouthpieces like Global Times might write .If the world is a video game, China chose “hard" game level from beginning. India chose "easy" game level. India gained independence by peaceful power delivery from British. China fulfilled its independence from bloody wars. Got rid of Japanese empire control by 14 years second Sino-Japan war. Got rid of US indirect control (KMT government) by 3 years civil war. Got rid of Soviet Union control by Korea war.
CCP's China was born and grew in wars. Of course China suffered huge lives and property loss. But this model also benefited China a lot. Established a strong central government which was free from big powers' influence. Land reform and industries nationalization were smoothly accomplished. Land lords and upper classes disappeared in China. Women were liberated. Superstitious and conservative cultures were abandoned. In a word, China's old system was completely formatted. China was running in a new and neat system. The opposite of China, is India. Today's Indian social structure is not so much different than 1947's. With democracy together formed all obstacles to prevent any change and reform.
China is like Jupiter. India is like Earth. Jupiter on the one hand dwarfs Earth. On the other hand protects Earth from asteroids attacks by absorbing most collisions to itself. PRC was facing a very harsh international environment from the first day it was established. Embargoes from west world and then from east world. Nuclear war threats from both US and Soviet Union. To prepare for war, China moved its most important industries to innerland mountain regions. Because of China's existence, India enjoyed a very cosy environment. It became friend of both US and Soviet Union during cold war. China was in "hell" mode game level in the middle stage of world game. India was still in "easy" mode.
In order to survive, China never stop attempting changes. Great leap forward, cultural revolution, reform and opening, big laid off. Some attempts are not good from hindsight perspective to say. Overall China is moving forward. Meanwhile in India, change could not even happen. Talking about China reform and opening policy, many Indians have a misunderstanding that it was US and its allies that helped China to make all progresses. Wrong. Different from how US helped Japan, S.Korea, Taiwan, US never transferred any crucial technology to PRC. The biggest investment sources for China are Hongkong, Taiwan, Singapore. What the west benefited China is a free and relatively fair environment for business and competition. China learned and grew in it. So Indians, who are longing for west production chains transferred from China, should not hold high hope for the transfer. It won't help you much. India already has the key to the success door that China tried hard to have. The free and fair international environment. And obviously China is losing it because US now sees China as an enemy. In the new stage of world game, China is in "hard" mode. India is in "easy" mode, as always it was.
Birds living in harsh environment are cleverer. The CCP government is very smart, sophisticate, patient. It has the ability of self-restraint and keeping low profile. Compared to Chinese government, Indian government is like a spoiled, impulsive, cocky kid. When US government kidnapped Huawei CFO and madly sanctioned Chinese companies, Chinese government never made trouble to American investments in China. By contrast Indian government constantly robbed/banned Chinese investments in India since 2020 border conflict.
I saw many Indians said India is 20 years later than China to adopt opening policy. India will get to where China is today 20 years later. Indians believe China's success is a thing naturally to happen. They attributed China's achievements to west investments(Which India will have) and China's huge population(Which India already has). Indians forgot China and India chose different paths from the first day. They ignored all the pains and suffers China underwent on the path. No pain, no gain. It also works for India. Hypothetically to say, if India reaches to half of China's economy(Which I doubt), India would for the first time face hits from used to be nice America. Will spoiled Indians and their government be able to handle the "not easy" mode by then? I don't think so.
You are praising CCP like some GODLIKE miracle working party , while chastising India (which is convienient for you at the moment since they are behind China, why dont you compare China with its east Asia peers like Japan or soith Korea? Lol). You attribute all the good development China now has to CCP. Will you also attribute all the atrocities, famine and poverty CCP led China to become one of the poorest countries in Asia after they took power until Maos death in 1979? Will you also blame CCP for all that or just brush it off as some slide of history? Lol
In fact if not for the fact that you guys were lucky enough to have a pragmatic visionary leader like Deng xiaoping who came to power at the right time after Mao's death then China will still be as poor and closed off like North Korea today(reason I always say you guys shiuld be worshipping Deng Xiaoping even more than anyone else). Had another maoist leader took over from Mao(which was actually quite likely had Deng fallen), then you wouldn't be much different today.
So to attribute all your successes to CCP alone sounds more like propaganda to be honest..there were many other factors that led to China's opening up amd subsequent rise. If the US never normalised relations with China for one then things wouldn't have changed at all NO MATTER what the CCP would have done..
Similarly this talk of CCP this and CCP that makes it sound like Chinese people are dumb or something. Your people are not dumb, they are quite smart, hard working, entrepreneurial and enlightened. The only thing they needed was for the CCP to get out of their way of life and let them do their thing basically. China's neighbours who are the closest to you ethically and culturally like Taiwan, Japan, Singapore, South Korea are all highly developed countries and have been even more successful than China..should we also be praising their ruling party or leaders like some GOD like party because they led them to be a highly developed country? Lol
You people should quit this silly talk of praising CCP like they are some GOD like party . They haven't achieved anything that I don't think another party in China cwouldnt have achieved to be honest giving the globalised world in which we live.
If anything it's CCP closed system and trying to regulate every aspect of Chinese people lives that held China back.. on a level playing field and open normal working system Chinese people will still be successful(singapore is a case in point). If anything you guys were just late to the party since all your east Asian peers are all highly developed. So nothing surprising here. North Korea similarly with their Maoist commie closed system is holding their people hostage and keeping their people potential under their boots. Their people are smart and hard working as well, just like their peers in South Korea, if only Korean communist party alias Kim dynasty will get out of their way, open the country up for investments, noemalise relations with the West(like China did), level the playing field for Korean enterprises, let Korean own and run their own business and let Koreans citizens basically do their thing then North Korea will change tomorrow maybe even faster than China.
