Thanks - as I said I HAVE BEEN THERE and was there PRIOR to western capitilisation - sooooo your wrong - first hand knowledge buddy. I speak the language and went to some incredibly remote areas. Your post WREAKS of ignorance - dripping with it. To call China 3rd world, to even mention it is a clear display of a lack of understanding of the country and the term.

Suggesting that China needs to face the test of time, coming from an AMERICAN with less than 30 years as a super power compared to 5000 years with China - is the most staggeringly ignorant comment I have read - what is so profoundly disingenuous is the fact you attempt to convey this mythical claptrap with such authority - you simply have no idea.
I've been to China prior to westernisation and studied the language and culture for 20 years - India can say what it wants - it is light years behind China
There are often comparisons between these two nations and that is just guff of the highest order - China is literally half a century ahead of India - they would not stand a chance.
the Indians are simply a backwater relative to the Chinese.
Further the Indians have NEVER enjoyed any sort of global dominance or status, rather they have been dominated their entire existence
the Chinese have dominated the largest part of the world for longer than any other nation - they were the only real global super power for almost 5000 years.
The Chinese also have a VERY strict non expansionist policy - there are nations that many consider outside of China (Tibet, Taiwan) however they have actually been part of the country for thousands of years - they will not invade any other country - simply not their way - they believe STRONGLY in the middle kingdom - Zhong Guo or middle land. Their characters for their nation are an arrow going though a target - and earth (a field) meaning middle of the world - the middle country - they DO NOT SEEK EXPANSION -

We were under invasion for 600 years. Initially in the 1300 it was the mughals who invaded and commited huge genocide and plundering till the late 1600 when mughal rule was wanning and then came the British at the later part of 1600 to plunder the land further. The british left only at 1947 but not without demoralizing us further by creating the caste and community system which still keeps us divided and in ignorance. Considering all this I think we are doing quite well.
The British did not create the caste system.
I think India's future is very positive. Like China, India has a huge mountain to climb getting the country sorted out - infrastructure etc... India is poorer than China so has further to go.
