Great Article on India vs China

The tortoise vs the hare:

Here’s my favourite line that probably summed it up:

that China’s growth is coming via flashy financing (foreign direct investment, the equivalent of VC financing at a startup) while India’s is coming through organic, sustainable growth (the equivalent of revenues).

Hahaha. You are a fool to believe that quote. First, China’s FDI is a reflection of its mature and functioning infrastructure, something that India lacks, which explains India’s lack of FDI. Second, high FDI also shows that China has a larger AVAILABLE skilled labor pool than India. India’s public education is much worse than China’s. More than 50% of Indian women are ILLITERATE, compared to China’s 89% female literacy. Third, much of India’s growth the past 2 years have been in rural agricultural productivity, not in industry nor services. This is not a good thing.

China’s growth comes from its excellent infrastructure and public education system, not from FDI. FDI is merely a symptom of what it is doing right. India is not the tortoise, it’s the arrogant sloth.
