Sino-Indian Experts not fazed by US call for India to 'lead' Asia

[IndoCarib]

India can not lead Indians well, how can they lead others? And india does not have the power and experience to lead others. India needs other people's lead, such as British and American.

U r right. One thing confuses me is that, herein China, we hardly talk about India. But it seems that China is quite a popular topic in India. I dont know why. can anyone tell me?

In our mind, India is not capable to be China's competition. so maybe that's why Chinese dont talk about india too much.
But on one circumstance, we talk about india-when the people want to insult democracy, they always take india as negative example.

Very true.

Switzerland and Canada, are good examples of democracy.

The downsides of democracy, are given by examples like India.

All nations that are not monarchies are inherently democracies, only the degree of direct participation is different.

Therefore when people talk about "democracy" they actually mean "level of economic development" and "how close it is to the West". I don't think the US regime wants its propagandized model to be associated with Ghana, Nigeria and Philippines. It wants to associate its model with good countries, not bad, even though Ghana, Nigeria and Philippines are JUST AS DEMOCRATIC as Canada and Australia.

Another reason why the label "democracy" is sh!t and doesn't actually reflect what a democracy is Iran. Iran is a democracy and in fact more democratic than Britain. In Britain you cannot vote for a specific Prime Minister, only a party, while in Iran you can vote for a specific person. Iran is also a capitalist economy. Yet because it happens to believe in Islam and doesn't take sh!t from the US, it is a "brutal theocracy" while actual brutal theocracies like Saudi Arabia are "friends of the free world". Back when Iran was ruled by a King it was also a "friend of the free world", how fked up is that?
