Kid : is this a fashionable word used by Changs and Chings in China now?.
I only used it to address naive Brother 3 like you.
China is trying to make a difference. But how? By creating a chinternet?
China cannot invent something that has already been invented. Unfortunately, Chinese cannot even reverse engineer it.
Every significant change can only be accomplished step by step. We are becoming self-sufficient in producing our own internet equipment, which already is a huge step and is a difference.
The current American dominance over Internet has its historical reason, Chinese won't be able to create "chinternet" in a near future, but we are making internet inside China less vulnerable than it was before.
I have stated the bloated ego of Chinese posters like you, and not China.
Your bloated ego is well displayed when you talked about the so-called knowledge based economy of India.
For e.g. American dollars is the world currency right now. So using that is surrender? Your government has tens of billions of it.
I was not saying using that is surrender, I was saying using it without any attempt to change it is surrender and that is what India is doing. China, on the other hand, is promoting RMB to be a world currency, that is another difference China is trying to make. Whether it will succeed or not remains a myth, at least we have the courage to try. But people like you lack the courage to challenge America's dominance, and can only make fun of those who are putting effort to do so, that is so pathetic.
Btw, most internet giants who preaches free speech have a problem operating in China or are under attack from the Chinese Monarchy, and not from a Democracy.
The very internet giant which preaches free speech operated and practised censorship in China for almost 6 years before it waked up and decided to left China. And what's more hilarious is, it is still operating in the totalitarian country which it vowed to leave over 1 year ago.
Yes, but the wages are still higher than labor intensive Chinese manufacturing industry.
My contention has always been Americans are investing in Indian IT sector because Indian IT wokers are cheaper, and I never compared Indian IT industry with Chinese labor intensive manufacturing industry. So I am really confused why you are doing a comparison between the two.
The point again is the type of industry. While India is a knowledge based economy, China has a labor based economy. The King rules and subjects work.
Knowledge based economy, that is shining term, isn't it?
Let me do a simple analogy here.
Let us assume there are only two types of industry, knowledge-based industry and labor-based industry.
Since you are so obsessed with the knowledge-based, I assume Indian economy consist of 100% knowledge-based industry, only that lives up to India's reputation as a knowledge based economy.
Meanwhile, we all know China has an economy with a size three times of India's. What should be the makeup of Chinese economy? I think it is not too much to assume that 1/3 of Chinese economy consist of knowledge-based industry and the other 2/3 consist of labor-based industry. But even that, China has a knowledge-based industry as big as India.
Tell me what is so shining about the so called knowledge based economy of India?
