 | Will India overtake China? Recently, I read a report that said India's economy will exceed China in 2020. As another rising power in Asia, India have indeed scored great achievements in its development though it started its reform later compared with China. But do you think India will overk take China in 2020? |

| Jimmyb, is this just another post of yours to promote disent? As you would know, India has a graft and coruptiont problem far greater then any other country in the region. They also have a cast sytem in place that stops people from improving them selfs. The gulf between rich and poor is greater than most. They also have unresolved issues with with the country to their north. For a country that that has only been unified for less than 60 years they have very little threat to offer anyone as they cannot feed their people yet. Dodger. |

| Dogder, I am not to promote disent( Sorry, I can not understand this word). China also has severe corruption problems as well. The gap between the rich and the poor becomes wider than ever. A cast system? Can you explain it in details? For a country that that has only been unified for less than 60 years they have very little threat to offer anyone as they cannot feed their people yet. New China has also established nearly 60 years. India can not be ignored. Though India has many disadvantages, it also has advantages compared with China. The software and IT technology are more advanced. Every year many elites leaves India for US to work in Silicon Valley. Meanwhile, it has strong military strength. Its armies have been equipped with aircrafts, Mig 29, Su27, Su 30 and other advanced fighters, submarines. Thus, India is indeed a rising power in Asia. |

| Well, this topic can be further extended as the question: " Who will dominate Asia in the near future"? Both India and China are two regional powers in Asia. Although India is rising fast, its development is quite asymmetrical (uneven). The roaring developent of Indian Software Industry is at the cost of other industries, since India concentrated its national resources to fund the IT industry. Other industries are far left behind. |

| Both countries are expanding their armed forces and preparing for something. Soon they will probably have an "incident" which will be used as a demonstration that they are not minor players on the World stage anymore. Russia is courting both and Russia is competing with both. It will be interesting to see what happens. |

| GUEST82370 | Of course india iwll overtake China.. it has already achieved 9.6% growth rates compared to china's 10% with ONE TENTH OF FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT. FDI is th e primary reason why China has grown so fast.. and india is just growing faster and faster with only a tenth of what china has used as it's main tool for economic growth. imagine how fast india would grow if it increased it manages to increase it's fdi... which by the way is getting larger every year. It's only a matter of time. india i'm afraid will be above China in the new world order. China also has an ageing population and restrictive government in place on people who will eventually becom emore prosperous and soon will be demanding more freedoms. how will communism solve that Watch out India is coming. |

| India is a democracy. China is communist. Take a look at the very short list of long term successful totalitarian regimes and figure it out yourself. |

| Bobert, the Chinese government is delivering on two major functions that are their prime areas of their responsibility; prosperity and security. While they continue to do this it’s business as usual. Dodger. |

| Dodger, the point I tried to make is that no totalitarian regime has ever been successful long term. Therefore Indias potential for improving both its "prosperity and security" are far greater than Chinas. Many nations in the past have proven that neither people nor finances can be manipulated forever and market forces and the peoples will must prevail eventually. "No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others that have been tried from time to time". - Winston Churchill, 1947. |
