quote=sunny001;1032376]That's because the relative size of the china's economy. A percentage of a bigger number will always be more than a similar percentage of a smaller number. Also, it is because of valuation of china's yuan. You multiply china's economy by a factor of 2 to get the GDP in PPP, while you multiply with a factor of 4 to get India's.
Also, because of inflation, rupee is badly hit against dollar. Once inflation subsides and proposed GST is implemented India's economy would reach to $2 trillion within 3-4 years.
In 2000, China's GDP was 1.08 trillion dollars and in 2007 it was only 2.4 trillion dollars. In just three years it added another 2.5 trillion dollars for the reasons I mentioned above. India's GDP currently is around 1.3 trillion dollars, considering we opened our market fully 12 years after china did, I think we are on a right track for now.
It is much easier said than done. From 1990-2010, China increased their GDP per capita by 12 times, Vietnam more than 12 times, India by less than 3 times. Do not say that India open latter than Vietnam.
From my experiences in China, Taiwan, Korea and various Western countries, I think nominal China GDP should be around 7-10 trillions now, not 5 trillions as publicized. And this fit to IMF estimate about yuan undervalued by 40%. Even some little known Chinese cities like Fushan or Chungshan, Shunde look as well-planned, clean and modern as Taipei or Taichung. The motorways in both mainland China and Taiwan are similar in quality.
The first time I've been to China is in 2002. At that time China GDP per capita was less than Vietnam's now. But China cities and infrastructure was already very well developed, much better than Vietnam now in 2010. I wonder if we can reach that level of modern infrastructure in 30 years.[/QUOTE]
