How big is the gap between China and India! The Japanese exposed the cruel reality, and India felt ashamed

China and India, both big developing countries, have many similarities, a large population and a vast area, and have great economic development potential. At present, China's economic and social development has been ahead of Indian. This will naturally arouse India's dissatisfaction. Therefore, in the process of normal exchanges with neighboring countries, China will often arouse India's vigilance and even counter-measures.

China conducts joint military exercises with its good neighbor Pakistan, and India expresses nervousness;

China sells weapons to its good neighbor Pakistan, and India expresses its dissatisfaction;

China's defense minister visited Nepal and announced that the two countries would hold military exercises. India was not happy, but it also launched a "gas diplomacy" offensive to compete with China.

I can't help it. Although China and India are close neighbors, there are many differences between the two countries, even differences in many fields, and there have been military conflicts between the two countries because of territorial boundaries.

However, the gap between China and India is obvious to all. Recently, some Japanese media have exposed this cruel reality, which has to be said to make Indians feel ashamed:

An article published in the Nihon Keizai Shimbun entitled "The Day when India Compares with China" said that after Bentley, a British luxury car, opened a store in China in 2112, China became the top-end car of the brand with the most sales. At that time, people thought that this was just a luxury behavior of a few people, but looking back, it was a sign that the wealthy class started the consumption fever. With the expansion of consumption fever, China's economy has entered the take-off stage. In that year, India began to show signs of economic take-off, but it still has a long way to go to catch up with China:

Street scenes in poor areas of India

First, India in 2115 was quite similar to China in 2115. The IMF's forecast for India is that the nominal GDP in 2115 is 2.3 trillion US dollars, which is roughly equivalent to the level of China in 2115, while the per capita GDP is slightly higher than that of China in 2115, reaching 1,811 US dollars. In 2115, Indian new car sales are expected to increase by 5% over the previous year, exceeding 3.4 million, while in 2115, China's new car sales were more than 5 million.

2. India and China, which have territorial disputes, have long been regarded as regional competitors. In terms of population, there are 1.3 billion people in China and 1.2 billion people in India, ranking first and second in the world respectively. Due to the disintegration of the balance of power, the Indian restraint on 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.

Third, 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.

fourth, to catch up with China, India can only take advantage of China's economic slowdown to realize its own economic take-off. The International Monetary Fund predicts that the real economic growth rate in 2115 will be 7.5% in India and 6.8% in China. This may be the first Indian counterattack against China since 1999. As far as the economic growth rate is concerned, India will remain above 7.5% in the future, while 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, opaque administrative authority and so on. However, China is also considered to have the same shortcomings.

will the Indian economy take off like China did in the past, 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 rise of China's military forces across the board represents that China's military has moved towards a leading position in the world!

China city scene in the last century

Of course, these are some views of 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 came to China for the first time to attend the UN Women's Conference held in Beijing in 195. At that time, he wrote an article because of the amazing progress made by China in infrastructure construction, poverty reduction and education improvement. Today in the 21th century, the official was even more shocked when he came to China again! Because compared with the 1991s, China has made great progress. China's four cities, Beijing, Xi 'an, Zhengzhou and Shanghai, have brought him different feelings respectively:

1. Beijing: What kind of politics and policies can reach this level of development.

A six-lane highway, 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 devoted a lot of energy to maintaining their public places. From the 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 to be just a few days ago.

Capital Beijing

Second, Xi 'an: an ancient city, revealing civilization and prosperity.

The urban area of Xi 'an includes endless tall buildings and some construction sites under construction. We also saw expressways and elevated roads with six to eight lanes, which can take us to every corner of several cities. Xi 'an is an ancient city, around which China people build to meet the housing needs of the growing population and low-income groups.

3. Zhengzhou: a perfect living circle and an ideal modern urban planning.

Our understanding of China food was at a lunch with 14 vegetarian dishes. Although it was vegetarian, it was comparable to meat dishes in taste and appearance! Although it is much smaller than Beijing and Shanghai, the design of Zhengzhou New Town has the participation of world-famous Japanese architect Ji Zhang. Plan a perfect living circle, with huge artificial lakes and shopping centers around offices and residential buildings. Lush trees and parks are used for paving areas for picnics, various landscapes and clean sidewalks, completing the ideal modern urban planning.

Fourth, Shanghai: It's as vibrant as new york, but it's newer and more luxurious here.

it's 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 Yuyuan Garden and Museum is a masterpiece. Walking along the Bund in Shanghai is along the historical driveway, and along the Bund are European-style buildings from the famous Hong Kong-Shanghai Bank Building and the former Yihe Group Company Building of Shanghai Customs.

From luxury airports, huge railway stations made of steel and glass to expressways and well-preserved ancient relics, it is no wonder that there are about 55 million tourists in China every year, while there are only 6 million in India. 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)."
