Test Your China vs. India Knowledge

[bolo]

Interesting, I thought China had more roads, spend higher % on military and more pollution. But the correct answers are India, India and India!

More roads is good. Expanding from existing roads is much easier than creating roads from scratch. You can avoid the endless arguing and fighting for route selections, land rights etc. I can understand why India spends relatively more on military. They just import too much. But Delhi is more polluted than any city in China? That's hard to believe. More pollute in the sense of "dirty" maybe, but no way it is more toxic chemically than the major cities in China.

We do. We don't count unpaved or dirt roads like Hindoos.

46% of Indian roads are unpaved.

Indian road network - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

India has a road network of over 4,689,842 kilometres (2,914,133 mi) in 2013,[1][2] the second largest road network in the world. At 0.66 km of roads per square kilometre of land, the quantitative density of India's road network is similar to that of the United States (0.65) and far higher than that of China (0.16) or Brazil (0.20). However, qualitatively India's roads are a mix of modern highways and narrow, unpaved roads, and are being improved. As of 2011, 54 percent – about 2.53 million kilometres – of Indian roads were paved.[2][3]

China has more pollusion as a country, as our industry is spread to every corner, but India has some of the worst cities because of it's concentration of industry.

So as a whole China, individually, India.

Incorrect. It is overall India. Satellite imaging has confirmed it. This is due to dirty burning biomass being used far more widely in India, which creates more soot, while Chinese don't rely on biomass but rather electricity from coal and solar especially in villages, where solar water heaters are the norm and electricity from coal/PV is use for the rest.

My knowledge of China and India is limited in 1 area, and 1 area only, that is evolutionarily decisive:

China IQ: 105

India IQ: 82

End of.

Any questions?

We do. We don't count unpaved or dirt roads like Hindoos.

A Taiwanese TV report said recently that India's "highway" is about 200 or 300km in length, and even these 300km are not strictly highway by internationally recognised standard, because they are not enclosed and have multiple unkonwn Indian-style "sub-entries" all along.
