RE:Overtaking China is a fantasy
by albert fernandes on Oct 17, 2007 10:31 AM

I agree with you,
1. They get down to business and dont have ten different agencies each blocking the other.
2. I dont like their disregard for the environment but the rail to Lhasa and roads in Tibet may not cause as much damage as their Seven Gorges Dam. On the same note, our environmental situation is worse. Our rivers are nothing but large sewers and chemicals and pesticides are all over. Cholera, amebiasis and hepatitis is rife. Leprosy tuberculosis and polio is still thriving in India. We cannot even blame it all on development.
3. China always understates their figures not to attract more trouble and american anger. They are probably growing at 17-18% and their dollar surpluses may be more. That is why they are buying up oil fields everywhere and metal supplies from all the south american countries.
4. Their poor labourers are doing way better than indians. We are famous for starvation deaths. The best way is to compare slums. Our slums can easily put the chinese slums to shame. Jai Dharavi!
