And another famous article from Forgein Policy, 18 yrs ago, if we carefully read it, most points are wrong:

Can India Overtake China?


Tarun Khanna, Yasheng Huan

Walk into any Wal-Mart and you won’t be surprised to see the shelves sagging with Chinese-made goods — everything from shoes and garments to toys and electronics. But the ubiquitous “Made in China” label obscures an important point: Few of these products are made by indigenous Chinese companies. In fact, you would be hard-pressed to find a single homegrown Chinese firm that operates on a global scale and markets its own products abroad.


That is because China’s export-led manufacturing boom is largely a creation of foreign direct investment (FDI), which effectively serves as a substitute for domestic entrepreneurship. During the last 20 years, the Chinese economy has taken off, but few local firms have followed, leaving the country’s private sector with no world-class companies to rival the big multinationals.


India has not attracted anywhere near the amount of FDI that China has. In part, this disparity reflects the confidence international investors have in China’s prospects and their skepticism about India’s commitment to free-market reforms. But the FDI gap is also a tale of two diasporas. China has a large and wealthy diaspora that has long been eager to help the motherland, and its money has been warmly received. By contrast, the Indian diaspora was, at least until recently, resented for its success and much less willing to invest back home. New Delhi took a dim view of Indians who had gone abroad, and of foreign investment generally, and instead provided a more nurturing environment for domestic entrepreneurs.


In the process, India has managed to spawn a number of companies that now compete internationally with the best that Europe and the United States have to offer. Moreover, many of these firms are in the most cutting-edge, knowledge-based industries — software giants Infosys and Wipro and pharmaceutical and biotechnology powerhouses Ranbaxy and Dr. Reddy’s Labs, to name just a few. Last year, the Forbes 200, an annual ranking of the world’s best small companies, included 13 Indian firms but just four from mainland China.


India has also developed much stronger infrastructure to support private enterprise. Its capital markets operate with greater efficiency and transparency than do China’s. Its legal system, while not without substantial flaws, is considerably more advanced.



China and India are the world’s next major powers. They also offer competing models of development. It has long been an article of faith that China is on the faster track, and the economic data bear this out. The “Hindu rate of growth” — a pejorative phrase referring to India’s inability to match its economic growth with its population growth — may be a thing of the past, but when it comes to gross domestic product (GDP) figures and other headline numbers, India is still no match for China.


However, the statistics tell only part of the story — the macroeconomic story. At the micro level, things look quite different. There, India displays every bit as much dynamism as China. Indeed, by relying primarily on organic growth, India is making fuller use of its resources and has chosen a path that may well deliver more sustainable progress than China’s FDI-driven approach. “Can India surpass China?” is no longer a silly question, and, if it turns out that India has indeed made the wiser bet, the implications — for China’s future growth and for how policy experts think about economic development generally — could be enormous.


The Stifling State


The fact that India is increasingly building from the ground up while China is still pursuing a top-down approach reflects their contrasting political systems: India is a democracy, and China is not. But the different strategies are also a function of history. China’s Communist Party came to power in 1949 intent on eradicating private ownership, which it quickly did. Although the country is now in its third decade of free-market reforms, it continues to struggle with the legacy of that period — witness the controversy surrounding the recent decision to officially allow capitalists to join the Communist Party.


India, on the other hand, developed a softer brand of socialism, Fabian socialism, which aimed not to destroy capitalism but merely to mitigate the social ills it caused. It was considered essential that the public sector occupy the economy’s “commanding heights,” to use a phrase coined by Russian revolutionary Vladimir Lenin but popularized by India’s first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru. However, that did not prevent entrepreneurship from flourishing where the long arm of the state could not reach.


Developments at the microeconomic level in China reflect these historical and ideological differences. China has been far bolder with external reforms but has imposed substantial legal and regulatory constraints on indigenous, private firms. In fact, only four years ago, domestic companies were finally granted the same constitutional protections that foreign businesses have enjoyed since the early 1980s. As of the late 1990s, according to the International Finance Corporation, more than two dozen industries, including some of the most important and lucrative sectors of the economy — banking, telecommunications, highways, and railroads — were still off-limits to private local companies.


These restrictions were designed not to keep Chinese entrepreneurs from competing with foreigners but to prevent private domestic businesses from challenging China’s state-owned enterprises (SOEs). Some progress has been made in reforming the bloated, inefficient SOEs during the last 20 years, but Beijing is still not willing to relinquish its control over the largest ones, such as China Telecom.


Instead, the government has ferociously protected them from competition. In the 1990s, numerous Chinese entrepreneurs tried, and failed, to circumvent the restrictions placed on their activities. Some registered their firms as nominal SOEs (all the capital came from private sources, and the companies were privately managed), only to find themselves ensnared in title disputes when financially strapped government agencies sought to seize their assets. More than a few promising businesses have been destroyed this way.



This bias against homegrown firms is widely acknowledged. A report issued in 2000 by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences concluded that, “Because of long-standing prejudices and mistaken beliefs, private and individual enterprises have a lower political status and are discriminated against in numerous policies and regulations. The legal, policy, and market environment is unfair and inconsistent.”


Foreign investors have been among the biggest beneficiaries of the constraints placed on local private businesses. One indication of the large payoff they have reaped on the back of China’s phenomenal growth: In 1992, the income accruing to foreign investors with equity stakes in Chinese firms was only $5.3 billion; today it totals more than $22 billion. (This money does not necessarily leave the country; it is often reinvested in China.)


The Mogul as Hero


For democratic, postcolonial India, allowing foreign investors huge profits at the expense of indigenous firms is simply unfeasible. Recall, for instance, the controversy that erupted a decade ago when the Enron Corporation made a deal with the state of Maharashtra to build a $2.9 billion power plant there. The project proceeded, but only after several years of acrimonious debate over foreign investment and its role in India’s development.


While China has created obstacles for its entrepreneurs, India has been making life easier for local businesses. During the last decade, New Delhi has backed away from micromanaging the economy. True, privatization is proceeding at a glacial pace, but the government has ceded its monopoly over long-distance phone service; some tariffs have been cut; bureaucracy has been trimmed a bit; and a number of industries have been opened to private investment, including investment from abroad.


As a consequence, entrepreneurship and free enterprise are flourishing. A measure of the progress: In a recent survey of leading Asian companies by the Far Eastern Economic Review (FEER), India registered a higher average score than any other country in the region, including China (the survey polled over 2,500 executives and professionals in a dozen countries; respondents were asked to rate companies on a scale of one to seven for overall leadership performance). Indeed, only two Chinese firms had scores high enough to qualify for India’s top 10 list. Tellingly, all of the Indian firms were wholly private initiatives, while most of the Chinese companies had significant state involvement.


Some of the leading Indian firms are true start-ups, notably Infosys, which topped FEER’s survey. Others are offshoots of old-line companies. Sundaram Motors, for instance, a leading manufacturer of automotive components and a principal supplier to General Motors, is part of the T.V. Sundaram group, a century-old south Indian business group.


Not only is entrepreneurship thriving in India; entrepreneurs there have become folk heroes. Nehru would surely be appalled at the adulation the Indian public now showers on captains of industry. For instance, Narayana Murthy, the 56-year-old founder of Infosys, is often compared to Microsoft’s Bill Gates and has become a revered figure.



These success stories never would have happened if India lacked the infrastructure needed to support Murthy and other would-be moguls. But democracy, a tradition of entrepreneurship, and a decent legal system have given India the underpinnings necessary for free enterprise to flourish. Although India’s courts are notoriously inefficient, they at least comprise a functioning independent judiciary. Property rights are not fully secure, but the protection of private ownership is certainly far stronger than in China. The rule of law, a legacy of British rule, generally prevails.


These traditions and institutions have proved an excellent springboard for the emergence and evolution of India’s capital markets. Distortions are still commonplace, but the stock and bond markets generally allow firms with solid prospects and reputations to obtain the capital they need to grow. In a World Bank study published last year, only 52 percent of the Indian firms surveyed reported problems obtaining capital, versus 80 percent of the Chinese companies polled. As a result, the Indian firms relied much less on internally generated finances: Only 27 percent of their funding came through operating profits, versus 57 percent for the Chinese firms.


Corporate governance has improved dramatically, thanks in no small part to Murthy, who has made Infosys a paragon of honest accounting and an example for other firms. In a survey of 25 emerging market economies conducted in 2000 by Credit Lyonnais Securities Asia, India ranked sixth in corporate governance, China 19th. The advent of an investor class, coupled with the fact that capital providers, such as development banks, are themselves increasingly subject to market forces, has only bolstered the efficiency and credibility of India’s markets. Apart from providing the regulatory framework, the Indian government has taken a back seat to the private sector.


In China, by contrast, bureaucrats remain the gatekeepers, tightly controlling capital allocation and severely restricting the ability of private companies to obtain stock market listings and access the money they need to grow. Indeed, Beijing has used the financial markets mainly as a way of keeping the soes afloat. These policies have produced enormous distortions while preventing China’s markets from gaining depth and maturity. (It is widely claimed that China’s stock markets have a total capitalization in excess of $400 billion, but factoring out non-tradeable shares owned by the government or by government-owned companies reduces the valuation to just around $150 billion.) Compounding the problem are poor corporate governance and the absence of an independent judiciary.


Dollars and Diasporas


If India has so clearly surpassed China at the grass-roots level, why isn’t India’s superiority reflected in the numbers? Why is the gap in GDP and other benchmarks still so wide? It is worth recalling that India’s economic reforms only began in earnest in 1991, more than a decade after China began liberalizing. In addition to the late start, India has had to make do with a national savings rate half that of China’s and 90 percent less FDI. Moreover, India is a sprawling, messy democracy riven by ethnic and religious tensions, and it has also had a longstanding, volatile dispute with Pakistan over Kashmir. China, on the other hand, has enjoyed two decades of relative tranquility; apart from Tiananmen Square, it has been able to focus almost exclusively on economic development.


That India’s annual growth rate is only around 20 percent lower than China’s is, then, a remarkable achievement. And, of course, whether the data for China are accurate is an open question. The speed with which India is catching up is due to its own efficient deployment of capital and China’s inefficiency, symbolized by all the money that has been frittered away on SOEs. And China’s misallocation of resources is likely to become a big drag on the economy in the years ahead.


In the early 1990s, when China was registering double-digit growth rates, Beijing invested massively in the state sector. Most of the investments were not commercially viable, leaving the banking sector with a huge number of nonperforming loans — possibly totaling as much as 50 percent of bank assets. At some point, the capitalization costs of these loans will have to be absorbed, either through write-downs (which means depositors bear the cost) or recapitalization of the banks by the government, which diverts money from other, more productive uses. This could well limit China’s future growth trajectory.



India’s banks may not be models of financial probity, but they have not made mistakes on nearly the same scale. According to a recent study by the management consulting firm Ernst & Young, about 15 percent of banking assets in India were nonperforming as of 2001. India’s economy is thus anchored on more solid footing.


The real issue, of course, isn’t where China and India are today but where they will be tomorrow. The answer will be determined in large measure by how well both countries utilize their resources, and on this score, India is doing a superior job. Is it pursuing a better road to development than China? We won’t know the answer for many years. However, some evidence indicates that India’s ground-up approach may indeed be wiser — and the evidence, ironically, comes from within China itself.


Consider the contrasting strategies of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, two coastal provinces that were at similar levels of economic development when China’s reforms began. Jiangsu has relied largely on FDI to fuel its growth. Zhejiang, by contrast, has placed heavier emphasis on indigenous entrepreneurs and organic development. During the last two decades, Zhejiang’s economy has grown at an annual rate of about 1 percent faster than Jiangsu’s. Twenty years ago, Zhejiang was the poorer of the two provinces; now it is unquestionably more prosperous.


India may soon have the best of both worlds: It looks poised to reap significantly more FDI in the coming years than it has attracted to date. After decades of keeping the Indian diaspora at arm’s length, New Delhi is now embracing it. In some circles, it used to be jokingly said that NRI, an acronym applied to members of the diaspora, stood for “not required Indians.” Now, the term is back to meaning just “non-resident Indian.” The change in attitude was officially signaled earlier this year when the government held a conference on the diaspora that a number of prominent nris attended.


China’s success in attracting FDI is partly a historical accident — it has a wealthy diaspora. During the 1990s, more than half of China’s FDI came from overseas Chinese sources. The money appears to have had at least one unintended consequence: The billions of dollars that came from Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan may have inadvertently helped Beijing postpone politically difficult internal reforms. For instance, because foreign investors were acquiring assets from loss-making SOEs, the government was able to drag its feet on privatization.


Until now, the Indian diaspora has accounted for less than 10 percent of the foreign money flowing to India. With the welcome mat now laid out, direct investment from nonresident Indians is likely to increase. And while the Indian diaspora may not be able to match the Chinese diaspora as “hard” capital goes, Indians abroad have substantially more intellectual capital to contribute, which could prove even more valuable.


The Indian diaspora has famously distinguished itself in knowledge-based industries, nowhere more so than in Silicon Valley. Now, India’s brightening prospects, as well as the changing attitude vis-a-vis those who have gone abroad, are luring many non-resident Indian engineers and scientists home and are enticing many expatriate business people to open their wallets. With the help of its diaspora, China has won the race to be the world’s factory. With the help of its diaspora, India could become the world’s technology lab.


China and India have pursued radically different development strategies. India is not outperforming China overall, but it is doing better in certain key areas. That success may enable it to catch up with and perhaps even overtake China. Should that prove to be the case, it will not only demonstrate the importance of homegrown entrepreneurship to long-term economic development; it will also show the limits of the FDI-dependent approach China is pursuing.

Demographics is not economics. CCP has been trying for past 5-10 years to increase chinese birth rate . What results it has to show for -- total and utter failure.

Wow! Nigeria and the rest of Sub-Saharan African will crush China, Japan, Europe and the US soon!!! Because they have the fastest growing populations!

Remember, ALL wealthy nations have low birth rates. Nations growing wealthier will progressively have lower births.

Actually, demographically China is better off than Japan or South Korea and better off than that of Europe and the US if you take away immigration.

China's population is still growing without immigration. Not as fast as India's but China is five times wealthier.

Nigeria 37.9 births per 1000
India has 17.9 births per 1000
China has 11.7 births per 1000
South Korea 7.3 births per 1000
Japan 7.3 births per 1000

India is much closer to China than Nigeria with births so is India doomed too?

And do you think Nigeria, India and China are better off than Korea and Japan economically? I know China is aiming for Japan's per capita income, maybe India is happier with a low income and high population growth like Nigeria -- I cannot speak for Indians. But I know Chinese people aim for Japanese/US income levels.

Western populations have lots of immigrants and first generation who can have high birthrates espevially from muslim and hispanic immigrants. But the white population in the US (and Europe) is actually declining.

Between 2016 and 2019, the white population declined from 197,845,666 to 197,309,822, in yearly amounts of -97,507, -212,957 and -225,380.

Not like China where the population (with no immigration) is still growing just slowly.

Not only will China crosses over and become a bigger economy (nominal GDP, already bigger by PPP for many years) than the US in the coming decades, the US will become majority non-white during same time.

We know from historical precedence that China can and will grow fast economically with with a dominant Han population. We do not know that the US can stay economically advance when it is majority non-white. Maybe it can but there is no precedence to draw from.

China is only 2.5 times wealthier on ppp. Nominal dollars means nothing for common citizens wealth.

Rest of your post is pure bullshit.

If everything is hunky Dory why is CCP even trying to up the birth rate ??

What bullshit? The numbers are all true. No wealthy nation has fast population growth. China's demographics are better than Jaoan and Korea and better than any developed country if you take away immigration.

China doing all it can? China still has a two baby limit. If it were trying all it can, then they would get simply rid of the limits entirely! They also can order families to have 10 kids and give them money to raise them! lol. So no, they are not really trying yet.

Who else in the world is limiting to two? There are people in China trying to remive the limits because there is no need any more and it is a worry but it is no bigger worry than the US or Japan. You are making this a bigger deal than it is.

I hope China removes all limits but it won't mean a whole lot though and Chinese are okay with it.

But I hope India can get its birthrate back to African levels to keep you happy :)

Lmao chinese birth rate is much smaller than France a developed country with per capita incomes 3 times higher than poor china. Chinese old age population is breaking world records and CCP is scared shit.

You can cope all you want . But china will end up as a country of too many old people complete dependent on immigration for survival.

In short china has no future at all. Lol.

Okay! 20 years Americans were predicting the collapse of China.

10 years ago Indians are predicting they will pass China.

Today, China has not collapse and has widen the lead tremendously against India, especially in comsumption! We buy ten times more cars and eat many times more meat than India.

We'll look back at this in 10 years and figure out if China has a future :)

Remember, at the current rate of growth, China adds about $2T to its GDP every three years or so. That's about the entire GDP of India. That's right, China adds wealth equivalent to a whole India to its economy every three years.

In 10 years, China will grow by at least three Indias. Unlikely India can grow by 300% in 10 years to keep up, never mind make up ground :)

Indian gdp is 10 trillion ppp dollare chinese is anly 2.5 times higher. All economic institutions from world bank to imf to OECD to Goldman to pwc have simulated that india will ultimately be much bigger economy than china. Chinese economic accept thta fact too. Only illiterate idiots like you debate these facts. China is only ahead of India because it's reform started earlier otherwise it has nothing special. India is getting there.

It's not indian or American predicting chinese collapse it's CCP itself which is panicking due to falling birth rate.

Now stop derailing topic. Either provide the fact of growth in chinese birth rate or accept that CCP has failed .

This should tell you everything.

The Chinese government still fines you to death for going above two children.

The declining birthrate and aging population is a made up "concern" by the West and white people.

If the Chinese government is actually concerned then they could simply remove the two-children limit and stop fining people so that couples can have 7 kids and not pay $155K in penalties!

Nature and life are more important than hordes of people. Advanced societies do not need hordes of people. Rich Chinese = fewer and more educated Chinese, Chinese who are again concerned with balancing man, nature and life.
Canadians are still not very good at balancing man, nature and life.

This clearly says birth rate is far below expectation.

Now either provide proof of birth rate increase or accept that CCP has failed.
LOL Recent Chinese History (1899 onwards) has five clear cycles -


The Chaotic Cycle (1899-1948) Boxer Rebellion against the waning Qing Dynasty, Beiyang warlordism , Rise of Nationalists, End of imperialism, Proclamation of Republic of China , Rise of Communists, Japanese invasion, Long March by Mao (1934-35), Civil war, and Famine (10 million dead).


Mao’s Great Leap Cycle (1949-76) Annexation of Tibet, Great Leap Forward, Greatest Manmade famine (36-55 million dead), Sino Indian War, 10-years of Cultural Revolution, nixon’s visit and Economic reforms.


Deng’s Consolidation Cycle (1977- 97) Open-door policy, Four Modernizations, One-child policy, Vietnam War, Tiananmen Square incident, Reversion of Hong Kong reverts, One country two systems, Third largest economy and Superpower aims by 2050.


The Cycle of Rise (1998- 2013) Second largest economy, Joining WTO, World’s biggest exporter, Space entry, ASAT capability, Beijing Olympics, and Weathering global financial crisis. Aging demographics surface.


The Overheated Expansion Cycle (2013- till date) Xi’s lifetime presidency, efficiency and anti-corruption drive, cooling economy, failed bri and porky cucking cpec, Made in China 2025 obiliterated due to corona virus from china , Military expansion got buttfucked in Galwan and modernization as sunTsus doctrines already assraped by Bhartiya Army, Trade war, Deluisional South China Sea claims, Wuhan Virus outbreak, Hong Kong crisis etc


Standout Issues Chinese sense of superiority is historical. It spurs the national ambition of attaining Superpower status. Deng set that to happen in 2050. The current cycle has seen extraordinary expansion of Chinese economic, military, and political power. The ‘China Dream’ of being a superpower was preponed to be achieved by 2030. Prima facie it seems over ambitious. Till one sees the demographics. Also, the popular thinking that China has long term strategic view of things is a myth not borne by its history. The past century has been cycles of self-humiliation, internal strife, and revisionism where the state has promised prosperity and nationalism for surrender of personal liberties.

A smaller working-age population must support a bigger, retired population. Social security net is minimal in China. Every working Chinese must support two parents and four grandparents. Commonly known as the 4-2-1 phenomenon.

China's birth rate hits record low since 1952; second-child policy effective in easing decline
See - https://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1177174.shtml

China wanna be a superpower, it must get rich before it becomes old and decline sets in. It is a race against time to 2030.

Did anybody notice....

In recent years, the number of Chinese Christians has increased significantly; Christians were 4 million before 1949 (3 million Catholics and 1 million Protestants), and are reaching 67 million today, Christianity is reportedly the fastest growing religion in China with average annual rate of 7% - 9%.

@Haldilal @IndianHawk what could be consequences of this.

The declining birthrate and aging population is a made up "concern" by the West and white people.

If the Chinese government is actually concerned then they could simply remove the two-children limit and stop fining people so that couples can have 7 kids and not pay $155K in penalties!
They didnt consider age factor at all... I do agree that was a larp. But not this one . It aint no larp. And there are genuine reasons and factors to establish it.

It's bound to happen . People long for a belief system. CCP tried to suppress religion but is failing again. People will again attach to whatever religion they can find.

If people go back to old folk religions of china than chinese culture may be preserved and if they go for Christianity china will just become an extremely ugly copy of west.

The conversion industry is working on a overdrive in China. While its on decline in subhuman west. Given how eager the Chinese have been in destroying their own culture and past, it is pretty safe to say that the vermin evangelicals will reap rich harvest of souls on their investment souls harvesting programs in China. With no culture to fall back on, church has a much easier job in converting the Chinese .

We can already see a large number of Chinese people who are starting to use names like Peter, Jack, Steven etc to act as cheap western knockoffs. Though it appears as an insignificant issue on the surface, it actually is a very important step in losing your own identity , when large number of people start doing it in your locality. This act of changing names to suit west is another example of how chinese are getting mentally colonised, they are all but Chinese in name only. Conversion to Christianity now is only a formality for Chinese people . Also, given how most Chinese are not yet fluent in English, this problem is going to go worse once most Chinese become more fluent in English than today. It will only speed up the process of deracination of Chinese.
