Recently, the largest comprehensive exchange community in Japan conducted a project entitled "If the company sent you to work in a foreign branch, would you choose China or India?" A Japanese remark made India blush. ...
Then, in the face of the current tense Japan-China relations and harmonious and friendly Japan-India relations, what choices will Japanese netizens make? Let's take a look at the comments and choices of Japanese netizens.
Indian curry rice
"If I had to choose between curry and Chinese food every day, I would choose China."
"If you can't eat beef in India, let's go to China ..."
Living conditions of Indians
"India's health environment is unbearable. At first, it was unsanitary to urinate everywhere. China is very beautiful. "
"India really can't. Standing out of New Delhi, it smells like shit everywhere; Going further 100 meters is a slum, just like the end of the world. "
Living conditions of Indians
"New Delhi is disgusting. The public toilet in front of the station is full of shit and garbage. There is noise and dust everywhere. "
"There are endless horns, hot air, waste gas, unsanitary food, cows all over the street-and cow dung."
To tell the truth, the urban areas of India and China are not comparable at all; Accustomed to China, I don't even feel much different from the Japanese in life; But India can't stand it. India is the worst. All Indians are liars.
"I accidentally went to India, and I was dying of diarrhea."
Life in India
"In terms of personal experience, India is terrible, full of beggars, especially thieves."
The road is full of potholes, and the streets are full of rampaging cows and beggars. The most exaggerated is the person who defecates in the street-adults!
Living conditions of Indians
"Working in India for more than half a year, listen to me, don't go to India. Even Indian cities are full of flies, and fish and meat are sold directly in the open air on hot days; The road traffic is also very chaotic, and there is not even a traffic light at the intersection of * *. "
"On average, two or three bodies can be seen on the road every month. Believe me, India is definitely a world beyond your imagination. (After coming back from India) It is disgusting to see Curry. "
"India's poor infrastructure and high-risk environment are even more unbearable."
"India's infrastructure construction is a stone. The road environment is worse than that in Russia, but it's okay. I always like long-term power outages. Japanese companies are more afraid of "Indian risk" than "China risk".
"Those who choose to go to India must have never been to India and regretted it."
Life in India
Japanese cultural identity stifled India in China, and India still maintains this semi-feudal slavery society.
China and Japan began to communicate as early as 2000 years ago; Japanese people are deeply influenced by Chinese civilization. However, India and Japan did not intersect until the 20th century, and even Buddhism was introduced to Japan from China.
Living conditions of Indians
"Anyway, Japan is a member of Chinese civilization and still has a lot in common. India can only be at the same level as Africa. "
"Thinking about India from a philosophical point of view is even more terrible."
"A trip to China may change your outlook on life; But going to India will change your life ... "
"Although I don't like China very much, I can also regard China people as the same kind-human beings. Indians are just another creature ... common sense on earth simply doesn't work in India. "
Life in India
"I will choose India because English is also common."
"If you go to China, if there is something wrong with Sino-Japanese relations (Japanese), there will be riots. If it is too scary, forget it. "
Life in India
"India is not healthy. However, if you pay more attention, these risks can be avoided. "
Judging from the above, the vast majority of Japanese netizens are still biased towards China.
According to the article "The Day when India overtook China" published in the Nihon Keizai Shimbun, after Bentley opened a store in China in 2002, China became one of the countries with the largest sales of the brand's top-end cars. At that time, people thought it was just a luxury of a few people, but in retrospect, it was a sign that the rich class began to spend. With the expansion of consumption fever, China's economy has entered the take-off stage. That year, India began to show signs of economic take-off, but India still has a long way to go to catch up with China:
Street view of poverty-stricken areas in India
1.20 15 is similar to China in 2005. IMF forecasts that India's nominal GDP in 20 15 will be 2.3 trillion US dollars, which is roughly equivalent to the level of China in 2005, while the per capita GDP is slightly higher than that of China in 2005, reaching 1800 US dollars. In 20 15, Indian new car sales are expected to increase by 5% over the previous year, exceeding 3.4 million, while in 2005, China's new car sales were more than 5 million.
2. India and China, which have territorial disputes, have long been regarded as competitors in this region. In terms of population, there are 654.38+03 billion people in China and 654.38+02 billion people in India, ranking first and second in the world respectively. Due to the disintegration of the balance of power, Indian containment of China has weakened. China led the establishment of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, a new international financial institution with the participation of many European countries.
3. China also stepped up its military activities in the South China Sea and began to March into the Indian Ocean. India hopes to expand its influence in the international community as a member of the BRICS countries.
Fourthly, to catch up with China, India can only take advantage of the economic slowdown in China to realize its own economic take-off. The International Monetary Fund predicts that the real economic growth rate of India will be 7.5% and that of China will be 6.8% in 20 15. This may be the first Indian counterattack against China since 1999. As far as economic growth is concerned, India will remain above 7.5% in the future, and China will slow down to a little over 6%.
5. There are also many factors that hinder India's economic growth, such as insufficient infrastructure, wide gap between the rich and the poor, low efficiency of state-owned enterprises and opaque administrative authority. However, China is also considered to have the same shortcomings.
Will the Indian economy take off as China did, and then the day will come when the two countries will keep abreast? The strong rise of China's military is no longer just talk. The all-round rise of China's military power represents that China's military has moved towards the leading position in the world!
The urban scene of China in the last century
Of course, these are some views of the Japanese media as outsiders. We should not be too proud of an article. However, the experience of a senior Indian official in China shows the gap between China and India from another angle.
This senior official, 1995, came to China for the first time to attend the UN Women's Conference. At that time, he wrote articles because China has made amazing progress in infrastructure construction, poverty reduction and education improvement. 2 1 century today, it is even more shocking for officials to come to China again! Because compared with the 1990s, China has made great progress. China's four cities, Beijing, Xi, Zhengzhou and Shanghai, brought him different feelings respectively:
1. Beijing: What kind of politics and policies can achieve this level of development?
Six-lane expressway has wide streets, beautiful greenery and friendly people. The government building is neat and beautiful-there is no peeling paint and mountains of dust. China government has invested a lot of energy in maintaining their public places. From Park Road to the government building monument, it is well maintained and clean. Eight years ago in the Olympic Games, we were very happy to see the stadium and the beautiful green street lamp garden. Every detail seemed just a few days ago.
Capital Beijing
Xi 'an: an ancient city showing civilization and prosperity.
The urban area of Xi 'an includes endless tall buildings and some construction sites under construction. Seeing expressway with six to eight lanes and elevated roads can take us to every corner of several cities. Xi is an ancient city around which China people build houses to meet the housing needs of the growing population and low-income groups.

Third, Zhengzhou: a perfect living circle and an ideal modern urban planning.
Our understanding of Chinese food was at a 14 vegetarian lunch. Although it is vegetarian, its taste and appearance are comparable to those of meat dishes! Although Zhengzhou New Town is much smaller than Beijing and Shanghai, its design has the participation of world-famous Japanese architect Zhang Ji. Plan a perfect living circle, with huge artificial lakes and shopping centers around office buildings and residential buildings. Lush trees and parks were used to pave picnic areas, various landscapes and clean sidewalks, completing the ideal modern urban planning.
Zhengzhou new city
Shanghai: It's as vibrant as new york, but it's newer and more luxurious.
It is safe here at night. There are quaint narrow pedestrian streets and pubs, coffee, beer and European cuisine. You can also have a bird's eye view of Shanghai and its unique skyscrapers on the Oriental Pearl TV Tower. Every building in Yu Garden and Museum is a masterpiece. Walking along the Bund in Shanghai is along the historical lane, and along the Bund are European-style buildings from the famous Shanghai Bank Building in Hong Kong and the former Yihe Group Building in Shanghai Customs.
Shanghai night scene
From luxury airports, huge steel and glass railway stations to expressway and well-preserved ancient relics, it is no wonder that China has about 55 million tourists every year, while India has only 6 million. After the visit, senior Indian officials returned to the motherland, feeling very depressed: "Our country is very backward, and I feel that we may never catch up with (China)."
