  1. most people do not know, for those factories moved to Vietnam, for example, the 80% of the value of the products are still belong to China, but labeled as Made in Vietnam, then 80% of profit sent back to China, Vietnam only get labor cost, which is tiny in the whole product value.

  2. "Democracy" simply means "the Majority rule", 75 years "democracy" in India showed the majority of Indians cannot make any good decisions, just as 7th Brigadier John Dalvi (POW of PLA in 1962) said in his book "Himalaya Blunder": "the defeat of 1962 is not just due to Nehru, since India is a democracy, so the responsibility of its failure lies on each and every Indian"

  3. as a country with huge 1.4 billion people a huge domestic market, India will certainly grow since it needs to produce for the needs of all its own people, however, since India cannot compete in the world market, therefore this growth will be slow. So definitely growth, but definitely slow, this situtation will remain for the next 500 yrs, after that only God knows, maybe there is no India in 50 yrs.

  4. In 2021, the added value of manufacturing in China and India was US$4,865.8 billion and US$446.5 billion respectively, and the added value of China's manufacturing industry is 10.9 times that of India. US is $2,200 billion, China is more than 2 times of US, China 's manufacturing added value equals US and Germany and Japan combined. A real number 1 Superpower of the world.

  5. before you become a manufacture hub, how about first get your global hunger index 107 to North Korea level at 97?

  6. "Prime Minister Modi launched the Make in India programme in 2014 with great fanfare. The programme has three key objectives: 1) increasing manufacturing growth to 12-14%, 2) increasing the share of manufacturing in GDP from 16 to 25% by 2022, and 3) creating 10 crore jobs in manufacturing by 2022. The manufacturing growth rate has averaged 6% over the last eight years, the share of manufacturing in the GDP has stagnated at 16%, and manufacturing jobs have been reduced by half."

  7. before you become a manufacture hub, how about first get your daily air quality index in Delhi lower below 100 instead over 347 as today and with 2.3 million people di. e due to air pollution each year??

  8. when China started opening up in 1978, Chinese leaders did not know which path to go . they went all different countries to learn, to keep socialist for China, they went to formar Soviet blocks, and they went to all western Europe and US, Deng Xiaoping visited Japan and admired so much Japan's high speed railway at the time. ...............after 30-40 years, China found her way, it is called, " The road of socialism with Chinese characteristics". it is a path only unique to China.

  9. conclusion is, China has industrialized, so as a world factory, India is not, India is still an agriculture country, even agriculture is still very backwards.

  10. China was the first democracy of Asia and the largest democracy in the world , not India (no India at the time ) 100 yrs ago. But China was poor and backwards, bullied by all western and Japan countries, luckily for China, at the time China had a period of 'awakening" and realized all these western democracy did not for China, so China turned to Marxism, it worked, India is still in dream of democracy, so no need to wake up, keep sleeping, and just enjoy your dreams.

  12. Indians, as a nation, they know the problems, ..........they know their goals, what they lack is how to get to their goals from current problems, they have no means, no plan , no practical path to reach their goals.

  13. When GM wanted to close the factory in India, China Great wall motor wanted to take over and invest $1billion for car production in India, this request denied by Indian government, so Great Wall Motor China canceled the whole thing, invested $3 Billion in south american.

  14. so now you know China is still world factory, and foreign companies would not move out of China, but you cannot answer, what India will do to catch up with China? the answer is NO WAY

  15. Cheap labor, yes, they move to Vietnam, Bangladesh, Mexico, ..................just leave you to enjoy your BS whole day and get nothing done.

  16. Indians are living in western media lies. Western said China economy would collapse, so Indians were very happy, so they waited it, for 20 yrs, nothing happened. then western media said foreign companies are moving out of China, again Indians were very happy, and they waited, well, some moved out, but not moved into India, finally India started to doubt all these western media said are true or not. now they put the reason to child labor, haha :) it is not 19 century any more, in high tech now need educated skilled worker, child labor? have you been to China to see any child labor?
    3
  17. foreign companies go to China not because they love China or Chinese people, they went there to make money for themselves not for China. during these process, Chinese people learn skills, both in production and in management and in technology, the salary they made supported other service industries in China, shops, restaurants, . housing, cars, ..their kids go to univeristies, in turn, back to be more skilled worker, ,,a process for building.a developed country.

  18.  @GladysAlicea  5.75 million Indian children suffer malnutrition, with the largest number of wasted kids in the world in INdia totay is not 19th century, children labor wont help much on modern industry.

  19. Foreign direct investment in China grow 20%, in India, dropped 30%
    3
  20. just because of cheap labour, talk about that from India? haha :) what a joke, you are the cheapest labor at least much cheaper than those in China, so why no they move to India? Ford motor just spent $2 billion just run away from India, same as GM

  21. isnt it simple? all those from western media are lies.

  22. India is a country with no future, no hope.

  23.  @beastmode8203  still not up to you to decide anything, haha :) go back home, play with your gun or golden retriever for fun.

  24. Ford motor in Chongqin China produce more cars than in US, but could not make any money in India, so Ford Motor spent $2 billion, just to move the production line out of India, you not only cannot attract foreign companyies to move into India, you cannot even keep those already in India, so blame China too? haha :)

  25. Ever since the founding of the People Republic of China, China was under sanction of US and west on trade and technology, Only depended on Soviet Union, however this stopped 1960, and had a war with Soviet Union in 1969. for all this time India was good friends of both camps, what India did for all this time, nothing. not much more progress than China, until China threw away India behind a light year after China opened up to the west, so whom to blame? only yourselves,

  26. then the question is, what your BS "democracy" good for? "democracy" should be a method to let the country get developed into a rich developed country, itself is not a purpose.
    2
  27. one thing different in India is the people got very relaxed, they just think India superpower 2020. 2030. 2040. 2050, then just wait. Mao taught Chinese people, "seize the day"
    2
  28. Child labor in China for what?? how young are they? how much of child labor contributed to make China the world factory??? it is totally a BS, without any fact support, the most import thing for all (ALL) Chinese parents for their kids is to push them, study, study...(they push so hard, so the Chinese government issues orders for school not give students so much homework) ............to pass college entrance exam, this is especially true in China countryside, it is fast way for farmer's children to have a chance to go to live and find jobs in cities. . that is the most important thing, .............child labor is just your wild imagination,
    2
  29. Modi, like US presidents, work for rich guys, like Adani, Ambani, the logic is let them make money, then they set up factories, provide jobs for the people and make the country rich, however reality is, as shown in the US, once they rich guys have money , they all run to China to make more money, they do not care about their own country at all.
    2
  30. Indians are very good at talk, the pity is nobody wants to spend money buying BS, Chinese are busying making goods with huge amount exported to India.

  31.  @dooleungdoossi  yeah, tell me, why they still stay in China, not move to your cesspool??

  32. Molly with full of lies, China does not care environment ? check your air quality index in Delhi 366 now, in Beijing? 37
    2
  33. you can point out the problem, as usual, you do not have any solutions.
    2
  34. before you become a manufacture hub, how about first clean up your street? and polluted river? so others who come to your country wont get diarrhea by just eating your foods drink your water?
    2
  35. US does not treat China as its enemy, but a competitor, India is not a competitor of China, not qualified, just an enemy. 😁😁😁
    2
  36. like in war, after India got defeated, they would create all kinds of lies and excuses for their failure, same for economy, they never lack excuses, all others fault. haha :) this country, this nation is totally hopeless.
    2
  37. Check the great empires of the past, all rise to the greatness by great leaders and rulers, not by stpd "democracy" , ancient Athens "democracy" could not survive, it stpidly killed the most intelligent scholar of its own, Socrates ，so called western style "democracy" is a trash, India treats it as treasure and so proud of it, do not see it gets India nothing.
    2
  38. For the past 1000 years, India was ruled by all kinds other other foreign intruders, now 75 years ruled by Hindus, showed, this nation does not know how to run a country at all, which explains why India was ruled by all kinds of other nations but themselves.

  39. use data not just something in your head, compare labour cost Salaries and benefits > Hourly minimum wage $1.73 China, Ranked 74th. $0.61 India Ranked 120th. China's salaries is 3 times more than India
    2
  40. Competitive costs and wage levels: India has much more competitive costs and wages, making labor costs much cheaper and leading to lower prices.Mar 15, 2021 INDIMET INC

  41. This childish behavior never worked, the key is to have your own goods can be good as cheap as Chinese goods, you do not.
    2
  42. factories moved out China not go to India. Foreign direct investment increased in all Asian countries, 20% increase in China, except India, with 30% drop.
    2
  43.  @beastmode8203  again you like to play as US president, pls, be realistic, you are just nobody, so do not talk about nuclear war, it is totally out of your control.
    2
  44. traditionally India is not a friendly country for foreign factories, the basic idea in Indians mind is they all come to India just for making India's money, so India with lots of restrictions to them, with work union laws, if something wrong, they just burn the factory, like last time they burned an apple phone factory from TW, and they treated China's phone companies as they are criminals, not a place for providing jobs for Indians. well, no just India has cheaper labors in the world.

  45. then the question is, what your BS "democracy" good for? "democracy" should be a method to let the country get developed into a rich developed country, itself is not a purpose.
