[quote=MUDDIEDKNEES,288916]Wow, this is a heated debate! I'm not sure whether "2nd World" actually means anything, but here are my two cents... Both coutries are so big and internal economic disparities are so large that it's almost callous and irresponsible to discuss "world dominance" and "2nd World" status. India and China both have relatively many billionnaires, but they also have more impoverished people than most countries in the world. I'm glad that the two economies are growing, but, unless development starts to spread more evenly and becomes sustainable, the economic miracles will result in tragedies. Who has a fighting chance of actually achieving sustainable and equitable growth? At this stage, I'm not sure. But for the sake of more than a third of the people in this planet*, I hope they both succeed. [*The combined populations of these two giants is more than 35% of the global population.][/quote]
