For once we agree
Thanks to India and China, many world-recognized terms, especially in political arena, should be re-defined.
As India claims it is a superpower, now even Somalia, Tanzania claim they are superpowers too (at least some people), and Nigerian claims they are (not will be) the first African global superpower (i'm not joking). While not, as they are even richer and more developed than India (in the case of Nigeria), or their people are better fed than Indian, or at least, have better toilets than Indian.
As India claims it is a democracy, now even most brutal regimes in Africa also claim they are "democracy", like CAR.
But China still claims it is a developing country and third world. Look like people now prefer to go to a shit hole country like China rather than a superpower like India to live, raise their children and educate.
I am awaiting the day India claims it is a first-world country, with nominal GDP per capita of around $3000 (by that time, Cambodia's or Myanmar's ones should reach $5,000 and China's one around $30,000). Why not? Maybe Japan, Korea and Germany would prefer to be called "third world" by then, as they surely will not want to be put in the same "first world" league with India.
Of course, I want Vietnam to be a shit-hole country like China, not a superpower like India.
