China will never 'nap' in the process of its economic development," he told 'People's Daily,' the official mouthpiece of the ruling Communist Party of China (CPC) in a recent interview ahead of Chinese President Hu Jintao's visit to India.

varun Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Re: We won't let India overtake us: china Unki ma ki. China is doomed because of it's inflexible system. Like someone said "India is rising despite the bad government, because of our resilient and flexible system". Kinda reminds me of the Soviets vs Americans.

yoda Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Re: We won't let India overtake us: china it is easier for china to go democratic than for us to catch up with them on the infrastructure. but we are in a good race and that is important that we are part of the race. we don't need to win, just need to get a good enough share of the pie.

Predator_05 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Re: We won't let India overtake us: china Come to think of it, I sure wouldn't mind a few 100 storey buildings and world class highways ! :chin: New Delhi needs a complete face-lift. Went on a Metro ride back in January (the day it opened) and looking outside the windows made me realise how remarkably poor the city's infrastructure is. Not that i didn't know this before, but seeing the city from afar really reinforced my opinion. Crumbling buildings on both sides. Economic development and foreign investment is all well and good, but if there is no discernable sign of improvement in the city's environment, people abroad simply won't acknowledge India as a potential superpower. Nor will NRI's like me, for that matter. I have been going in and out of Delhi for the last 6 years, and i've hardly noticed any changes. Maybe a few new "fly-overs" here and there. Shanghai and Beijing must be a century ahead of New Delhi. For all the criticism that the MCD have received, i for one actually think they are doing a good job. Clearing municipalities of illegal property is the first step in making the city appear more hospitable for the residents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DravidDaBest Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Re: We won't let India overtake us: china More than the infrastructure, China has a advantage of implementing a policy from paper to reality in a seamless manner and in quick amount of time...It takes centuries in India to implement a policy across the country. Inspite of some of the advantages we've over China, we still won't be able to catch up with them......This is not a race...First or second doesn't matter as long as we've good GDP growth and strong economy power that will help us to lift the nation and eradicate poverty in the long run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gator Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Re: We won't let India overtake us: china Draviddabest... it is a race of sorts... remember, we are neighbors and if u lose regional presence/power, then u will always play catch up...

DravidDaBest Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Re: We won't let India overtake us: china Gator Its a race alrite...But as long as we're competitive, it doesn't matter whether we're ahead of China or not. Remember, China started reforms in late 70s....As I said, if we keep our reforms aggressive, continue to maintain good GDP...we can grow well as a nation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DravidDaBest Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Re: We won't let India overtake us: china Actually, Sino-Indian war during 1962 is lot different.....We (read Nehru) made a stupid mistake of provoking them without having adequate Military power to retaliate if required....We kinda invited them to invade the disputed terrioty.......They did feared world intervention during 1962 and thats the reason they announced ceasefire even though they could've continued Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
