Many of us are impressed by the China growth story. They have good roads, good this good that. I agree that they have got good infrastructure, in the eyes of the media at-least.
But how many ordinary Chinese can complain to the media say CNN or BBC about their problems? Do the millions who have been displaced due to the Three Gorges Dam and other projects have a voice? Whereas in India the Narmada dam's construction has been held up by 30,000 families (which considering each family as having 5 members is 0.15 million).
How many Chinese can even read this Blog? Even Google's access is restricted in China.
Many say that the software industry will shift to China due to their better infrastructure. But are companies ready to hand over their source code to a country where even Google is forced to share its user data with the Chinese government (they refused to give this information to the U.S. Goverment) ?
What is the bulk of the Chinese man power doing? They are manufacturing hardware, products designed elsewhere like Japan ,Chinese are just copying it. Does it add to the intellect of the people? The people in China have become just robots. This is where India has the upper hand, its people think , even if it is ways to swindle the goverment! Evolution is proof that body parts that you use improve over generations, so Indians are becoming smarter at least in comparison to China.
