I am an NRI and my ex-fiancee is chinese with who i had a relation for couple of years, during which i learned alot. Few interesting facts, which none of these so called journalist seem to know all about but dont know.. in china there is restriction on movement of people a person from guiyang cannot just move to shanghai or beijing to find a job, the freedom we take for granted in india. This restriction is not just to these two places but other provinces too, You need to apppy for a permit which is granted when you have a accepted job and a place to live... if you are found on the street then you are loaded onto a truck and left on the province boundary.

I think the Chinese idea is more advanced. If we had this in India, we would never have had to see cities like Bombay, Calcutta, Bangalore become dieing cities. Ok, have you seen how non-kannadigas or non-tamilians are treated in the respective cities. Talk to them before you talk about what you learnt from chinkus. We have shit in our own backyard and we talk about small problems in neighbors house...... fools.

nandita... i am not in anyway saying we dont have our own problems, we are not developed and we have a looooong way to go..
my reply is in response to the statement "poverty has been wiped out in china" we dont hide our poor people.. or differentiaet between people, as a democracy everyone has equal right. beside we have independent judicary which no doubt is slow, unlike china where the ruling party apoints the people to do the justice

i agree with you. My chinese friend also told me that. If you are caught you either pay up or go to jail and sent back. That means you live illigali in your own country.

This is a drawback with most Indians...we have some kind of liking to under estimate us....just because China is growing at 10% doesn't mean that China is superior...Freedom is priceless and India is shining example to the entire world how well it has maintained its democracy despite all the disadvantages

let me tell you another intersting fact... in china you cannot marry another person of a different province, unless you have a working rite in the province you are going to marry, or you declare that after marriage you are not going to move in that province for work...
i wonder how would we react if any government in India tried to implement this ridiculous law
