Can India beat China in future?

As China continues to dominate, can India close the gap and emerge as a true global leader?

By Neeraj TiwariPublished 12 months ago 2 min read

China and India are the largest population countries in the world and the economy of both is growing rapidly. But China has taken a lot of lead from India in many regions. In this article, we will compare China and India on the basis of infrastructure, education, technical sector, global trade and military power and will try to understand whether India can defeat China in the future.


China's lead in infrastructure


China's infrastructure is considered the most advanced in the world. High-speed railway networks, expressways, ports, and smart cities are growing rapidly in the country. China has invested heavily in its high-speed train system since 2008, which has now exceeded 40,000 km. At the same time, India is still in the process of modernizing its railway system.

World-class metro systems, expressways and flyovers are rapidly built in Chinese cities, while it takes a long time to complete infrastructure projects in India. Although the government in India is also working on Smart City Mission and Bullet Train Projects, it is still in the initial stage compared to China.


Edge and comparison in education and technical fields


Education and technology play an important role in the progress of any country. China has invested heavily in higher education and its universities are among the top institutions in the world. China's share in science, engineering and medical research is increasing rapidly, leading to new techniques.

There are definitely IITs and other prestigious institutions in India, but there is still further improvement in the field of education and research. Chinese companies such as Huawei, Alibaba, and Tencent Technology are ahead in innovation, while IT companies of India (TCS, Infosys, Wipro) are mainly dependent on outsourcing. However, startup culture in India is growing rapidly, which may increase competition in the future.


3. China's hold in global trade and India's position



China is the largest exporting country in the world. His companies sell their products all over the world, making its economy strong. China's hold in electronics, machinery, pharmaceuticals, and automobile sectors is very strong.

India is also an emerging trading center, but is still lagging behind China in many areas. India's economy is primarily dependent on the service sector, while China's economy is based on manufacturing and exports. India is promoting manufacturing through schemes like 'Make in India' and 'self -sufficient India', but it will take time to reach China's level.


China's speed in military power



China's military power is considered third in the world, while India is fourth. China has state -of -the -art weapons, large -scale army, and strong defense technology. China's Navy is the second largest Navy in the world, while India is in the process of strengthening it.

India is also strengthening its defense system. India has recently developed Tejas fighter aircraft, fire missile, and self -sufficient defense equipment. However, China's defense budget is three times higher than India, making it moving more rapidly in the military sector.


Can India beat China in future?


India has a young population, growing economy, and strong democratic structure, making him a long race player. China's economy is currently large, but major reforms are being made in India as well. If India invests in its infrastructure, education, manufacturing and defense sector, it can challenge China in the future.

conclusion:
China is currently ahead of India in many regions, but India's growth rate and population benefits can make it a strong contender in the future. If the correct policies are adopted, India can beat China and become a global power in the coming decades.
