I will translate this article for you to show how sincere I am being a pro-Inidan Chinese!
China Commentary Club, Beijing, July 20 /
"India, the path may be slower, but it is effective, and the Indian way of life are more likely to sustain.WASHINGTON Today published the article the of a Chinese international affairs scholars-- Dai Si, titled "why the future belongs India ":
London, in the forum of "The future belongs to India, rather than China," during an open discussion in the preparatory work, I recalled a conversation with my mother ( Dai Si loves his mother). She asked, If we compare the 10% of China's economic growth rate and India's 8% , What the difference will it make? I replied that the difference is very large indeed. If we keep our economic growth rate at 10%, we can advance by 20 years - almost a whole generation of people - so that this whole generation of people will be elevated into the middle class. She thought for a moment, then gently said, "We are waiting for this moment since forever, we have been waiting for 3000 years, why cannot we wait another 20 years, and wait like those Indians to achieve this goal in their way?"
She knew the cost of the democracy, the poors' growth into middle class will be postponed by 20 years. She did not elaborate on the "Indian way", but I assume she meant details like the six day holiday enjoyed by Indian people during New Year( is it true?). Easily fascinated by the extraordinary progress in China, India's chaotic democracy is always frustrating, but I think she actually expressed the thoughts of most Indians: They will not trade their democratcy with the 2% faster growth rate.
The Indian way to which my mother referred, means that a country must be honest with itself. Indians are divided into different levels due to the long-term existence of the caste system in their history, while we do not have such a hurdle and it hould be much easier for us to adopt this system. Chinese history only witnessed different ethnic groups being melted into a common Confucian society. Like a melting pot, it denies the difference between all ethnic groups and the latter gradually disappeared; while India is like a salad bowl, different kinds of culture still retain their identity. Therefore, China has been always been controlled by a central government and followed its hierarchical order - this traditionmay benifit China's growth. In today's era of reform and opening up. China nowadays is running like operating a company. The goal of every mayor and party secretary are for investment, output and growth, which is also consistent with the national objectives. Those who excel in growth get a quick promotion.Running a country as a business to manage the main problem will cause one problem-- it is possible to ignore the interests of the people at the grassroots level.
