Well given the fact that China and India are the two fastest growing economies in the world...
I would say that we BOTH did very well, in developing systems that are unique to our own countries.
I have been a great admirer of the Chinese model.
go back 60 years...China and India were the most populated and poor states in the world...plundered by western imperialists...and by their own internal mess...
there was one big difference...we were occupied and you were influenced...the socialist model implemented with fierce adherence to it's basal principles would have been the ONLY workable model for such countries...where resource utilization was of utmost importance...
now China under the PLA and Mao tse-tung got the socialist machinery working and began it's slow process of reforms...
we were granted independence...the British would have not granted power to socialists...the parties of independent India had British wiling/unwilling mentors...socialism was seen as unnecessary...and the feudal and rustic bureaucratic system continued writing on the same dusty files that the British left to us...
We have progressed as we were bound to progress...we represent the world's fastest growing middle class...
it's like being a fast sprinter tangled in one of the obstacle bars but still managing to be fast...
China has arrived...and we would....
