This question was answered by Singapore’s former Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew back in 2013, ‘Asking whether India can rise like China is like asking whether an apple can become an orange.’ (source: One Man’s View of the Word) Lee Kuan Yew even argued that the root cause of India’s inability to overtake China is that ‘India as a nation has always been more ideal than real.’

India will never be able to overtake China, I mean, all aspects (including technology), except population.

India’s biggest problem is at the spiritual level, where India either pursues spiritual practices or goes abroad in pursuit of high salaries (which is why many CEOs of large tech companies are Indian), rather than working together to make their country better.

On the contrary, even at the end of the Qing Dynasty, when China was ceding land and making reparations and renting boundaries everywhere, there were still a large number of people who were not afraid of death and worked hard and fought hard for the future of the country and the nation (this is the reason why the Chinese were able to win the War of Resistance Against the United States and Aid for Korea). There is a deep-rooted spirit of resistance within the Chinese people.

In Western mythology, the sun god is very bullish, but in Chinese mythology, not only does Kuafu chase the sun, but also Hou Yi shoots the sun. The sun in Chinese mythology is always the object of conquest. When it comes to floods, Noah in the Bible builds a boat, while Dayu in China treats floods. Even if there are two big mountains in front of their door, the Chinese will remove them for generations (‘Yugong Yishan’). This is the spirit of China. China will surely do everything possible to overcome its difficulties instead of running away to the spiritual world.

As India has been colonised for hundreds of years, but any bloodthirsty warrior was either killed or exasperated. By now, Indian civilisation has become centred on the world after death – what Indians look forward to is not how to build a nation and excel in this life, but how to have a good birth in the next life.

India can never overtake China.

Definitely!!! India can surpass china in technology just one thing we have to do is close our eyes.

• China is flying 6th generation aircraft in the sky!! And we still begging General Motors for an engine for our 4th generation Aircraft Tejas.

• China has operated world largest bullet train network for years and India still constructing one single bullet train line from Ahmedabad to Mumbai from past one decade with Japanese help.

• China has established the world’s largest the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) industry. It has become the world’s largest exporter of military UAVs. Whereas India is busy begging the USA for approving our 31 drone purchase orders.

• How many phones does India manufacture end to end? I remember micromax but only name was indian. Can any phone manufacturer without China help?

• You have been surprised with modern Mahiendra XeV car but you know complete battery technology is handover by Chinese OEM BYD? What India can do Fashion- design.

Still you think with an open eye can india surpass China in Technology? It’s not easy like surpassing in population!!
