Test Your China vs. India Knowledge

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.

......dude, they don't measure pollution by satellite, China's overall pollution is far and away the number one country.

Do a search. Pollution in Indian cities worse than Chinese cities

You can indeed measure pollutant distribution with hyperspectal imaging. What other measures are you thinking of? PM 2.5? India has more of that too.

7/8. Got the roads wrong. It is counterintuitive. China is geographically much bigger than India and has spent the past three decades building a lot roads. What's the reason behind it?

Only 54% of Indian roads are paved, with unpaved dirt roads being unsuitable for modern logistical transports such as trucks carrying intermodal containers.

China has superb, modern roads. It has over 100000 kilometers of expressways, the largest expressway network in the world. India only 942 kilometers of expressways, less 1% of China's. Therefore China doesn't nearly as many kilometers of roads to convey far more goods.

That said, under Modi-ji's visionary leadership, Indian road network will improve very quickly and surpass Chinese roads by 2020!
