The unexpected happens, but India differs from China in a very significant way, the collective mentality.
For Chinese, it's about setting realistic objectives, making executable plans, doing my part, no excuse allowed;
For Indian, it's about "Aspirational speech", Bollywood time, "Someone else will do it", "Not my fault".
Remember all "Plans/Aspirations" India proudly announced before?
"India to be a Superpower by 2012";
"Mumbai to surpass Shanghai in 5 years";
"India to have manned Space Flight by 2015";
"India to have a 132.8 exaflops super-supercomputer by 2017";
"India to perform manned Moon mission by 2020";
"India to have a 5-trillion economy by 2025";

You guys never learn from your previous failures. " 'Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it".
India WILL remain as how it has always been, "mediocre"
Xi is president for life. So he does not need to worry about winning the next elections. So he can make policy without any statements or election pressure. In democracies, the politicians are always under pressure to sell policies to win votes and elections. So it is expected that they make such tall promises and issue such statements which may not materialize.
