@uselesshero.official India and China are world's two most populous countries in the world, so we face population problems like poverty, shortage of food, not enough schools, not enough jobs, and we are both countries that suffered under Western colonialism.
Indians complain about being maligned, that's alright, it's their viewpoint, but look at the sheer vitriol directed at China. China's reputation suffer just as much as Indian, but most Chinese people shrug it off, tighten up our belts, roll up our sleeves and go to work making our country better, step by step.
No one can complete halt the flow of negative news about India and China, and complaining about it won't help. Better to work to make the country better, like what Chinese are doing for our country.

@uselesshero.official "神州 Shenzhou I think I didn't complain about the 'hatred' rather suggested that we're quite used to it."
I believe I didn't mention anything about 'hatred' rather I said that Indians can complain about being maligned, that's fine, it's their view after all. I mean, China too faces a lot malignant news that has warped many foreigners views towards China (especially those foreigners who haven't set foot in China and see what life is like here for themselves). If a media has 'half - true' or biased news, then you should perhaps, attack the parts that are untrue, isn't it?
And in my opinion, making a country better requires input from all levels of society, instead just complaining about a single group of people. Take combating Covid-19 in China for example, and you need the workers to build hospitals (like the 1000-bed hospital Huoshenshan 火神山 in Wuhan in 10 days), medical personnel to help the patients, the citizens to self-quarantine and the government to guide the people throughout this crisis.
Everyone plays a part during a crisis, rather than just blaming a particular group of people.

Lynn Michael As the world's most populous country, China has (statistically speaking) the most brainpower to come up with plans and ideas, as well as the most manpower to implement said plans and turn ideas into reality. Larger populations have more geniuses, and since China's population is 4x that of USA, there should be at least 4 Chinese geniuses to every 1 American genius.

Consider two standard bell curves, say one with 1.4 billion people and one with 326 million. The number of average people in China is very close to 4.3 times the number of average people in the U.S. That is also true for those in the top 2% say, which produces scientists, the best business and government people, and the most competent computer programmers. Even there, China would have a 4.3 to 1 advantage, which would be quite an advantage, everything else being equal.

Lynn Michael Chinese workers work hard to make products like smartphones, computers, electronics, appliances, toys, sneakers, clothing, etc cheap so that inflation in America is kept to a minimum and the cost of living in America is lower than it should be. Think of the billions of dollars Americans have saved on living expenses over the years thanks to affordable Chinese goods. Money saved that can then be spent on other pursuits like cars, housing, luxury brands, school fees, tuition fees and so on.
Isn't that why many Americans flock to Walmart for their everyday low prices? Because it saves them money?

@anwaydas817 Ancient Chinese invented gunpowder and gunpowder weapons like handcannons, handgrenades, landmines, naval mines, exploding cannonballs, rocket launchers, multi-launch rockets, and of course, fireworks. Americans celebrate the 4th of July with Chinese inventions, and world's oldest conformed surviving firearm is the Heilongjiang 黑龙江 handcannon, manufactured no later than 1288.

A 14th-century military treatise, the Huolongjing (Fire Dragon Manual), describes hollow cast iron cannonball shells filled with gunpowder.

Lynn Michael China publishes more research papers than any other country in the world, over a wide range of topics such as physics, biology, chemistry, mathematics, clinical medicine, biomedical research, engineering and technology, and earth and space sciences.
Countries by published scientific papers in 2016:
1. China (426,165 articles)
2. United States (408,985 articles)
3. India (110,320 articles)
4. Germany (103,122 articles)

This shows that many Chinese scientist and researchers are making discoveries and publishing their findings, contributing to mankind's scientific advancements.

@anwaydas817 China has even launched space stations into orbit, the world's 3rd to do so after USA and USSR. China's first prototype space station, Tiangong-1 was launched in 2011, followed by Tiangong-2 in 2016. There was even a "space lecture" where Chinese taikonaut in space gave a lecture to her students on the ground from onboard Tiangong-1, demonstrating simple micro-gravity experiments in space.

By doing this, we are showing our kids (and future generations of Chinese) that China is both ancient civilization as well as a modern space nation, capable of achieving equally impressive feats as the Westerners in space. China is no longer the sick man of Asia, in fact, China is the 1st Asian country to achieve such a feat, even other Asian countries like Japan, Korea, and India have not launched space stations of their own into orbit.

Indian government will have to make a painful choice, like when Chinese government sacrificed China's economy and stop production, implement quarantine measures, closing tourist attractions, banning mass gatherings, and so on, all in a bid to prioritise human health and combat the coronavirus. The damage to our economy, loss of production, loss of income, loss of tourism, was worth it to contain the virus. Now its finally paying off that the virus is pretty much under control and our economy is slowly restarting.
But in some Western countries like US and UK, their economy is too precious to sacrifice, so human health has to be sacrificed instead.
