What I have always respected about the Chinese is a truly global perspective this community has, on top of that, they are a society that remains pragmatic as ever. In contrast we Indians love our, good to hear, rhetoric, of course taught to us by our western masters over many years of slavery, waste endless time in that, when these Chinese are busy delivering. Imagine a situation where tomorrow the US agrees to share the top space with the Chinese, thinking us to be a waste with us eventually getting side-kicked, what do we do then?
Do we then still depend on their internet sites, do we still transact with their financial tools, do we still work with their military hardware, and all such dependencies that we would have created on them. Point being, what is the contingency plan here, if any, because when the Americans hit back, they use all tools possible that they have access to them, and the Chinese have safe guarded themselves in pretty much every given way, even economically, but what about us, other than ridiculing the Chinese with our rhetoric and our good English? Generally the Indian way, there would not be any plan put in place but still, think a little harder, what that would be?
This is how the Chinese are so different to us. They have a problem, they foresee a problem and they develop a solution, we in contrast, have a problem, or foresee one but we keep debating it and by then it has become a habit of living with it and then we adapt by making another compromise out of endless many that we keep making.
We love to hit back with the usual talk of Chinese doing a copy-paste, Chinese hacking, Chinese being authoritarian but see all that they have created doing all that, and where are we? Think manufacturing, struggling, think internet, hardly anything productive, in governance, a highly chaotic system.
Anyway, it is much appreciated that Chinese have done all that, and now is the time to introspect and then deliver. I would be mighty proud if my own country, India would have done all this!
