- neilk 16y agoYes. Educated Indians look at China and wonder what the hell is going on. Indians have similar corruption and population problems, but a much more savvy segment of English-speaking, technologically brilliant, Western educated elites, for generations even. And yet, India gets fill-in-the-blanks Java outsourcing contracts while China makes the frigging iPhone. It drives Indian people INSANE. Source: I'm one-half Indian with relatives involved in outsourcing.
- jbarham 16y agoOne big advantage that China has over India is reliable physical infrastructure (e.g., power, roads, ports). In China when you turn the lights on, they stay on. In India, not so much, unless you're in a private industrial park with its own power source. Although the flip side is that the Chinese have been able to develop their infrastructure at a much faster pace because, unlike India which is democratic, their citizens have much less say about large-scale developments which impact them (e.g., Three Gorges dam).
