zen Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 (edited) With a PPP per capita of around $25k, overall, I would slot it as developing though some of its areas would be highly developed. It is a case of being both developed and developing at the same time. PS For reference, rough PPP per capita: Japan $50k Russia $44k Greece $41k Chile $33k Argentina $30k Costa Rica $28k Brazil $21k South Africa $16k Sri Lanka $14k India $10k Edited September 21 by zen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tillu Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 If you look at the jaw dropping infrastructure videos of China on YouTube, you wouldn't get the impression that China is still a developing country. They are so far ahead of even western countries when it comes to the quality infrastructure there. Ultimately people want a better quality of life and the Chinese government is providing it.

I reckon ethnic Hans enjoy decent enough freedom. They get best of healthcare, education and infrastructure. Yes some sacrifices got to be made along the way to bring China to where it is now. It being a homogeneous society makes it easier. Dumbocracy & lawlessness go hand in hand in bigger land mass and population. Choose your poison.

You can't give democracy to masses of illiterate uneducated people. It's like asking your 10 year old child about important decisions in your household. Democracy has been a disaster for India, the population has almost quadrupled in the past 80 years. The main goal of each elected party is to get re-elected in 5 years not to work together to improve the country as a whole. The masses of uneducated people are easy to manipulate with alcohol being handed out on election days. Number and Tillu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Democracy is overrated when most of your populace lacks the ability to think critically. China got it right.

Number Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 This is China's lowest class train. They too have issues due to overpopulation but it looks a little better than Indian General Bogey due to AC and obviously no Gutka Pigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, more likely blame is India getting apolitical military leaders after partition and Pakistan got the ones that were polically drunk with power. We never had a military govt until say 1975, but for that we should have had some military leaders who could turn the country to a dictatorship with a judiciary that could be pliable. Communists of India were phattus who pledged allegiance to China/Russia and they wanted India to be part of China.

I was in a tounge in cheek way hinting towards the sterilisation program he carried out. It was the most despicable thing which even dicators won't think of trying but desperate times needed desperate measures. coffee_rules 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
