More saki to you.Quote from richardyu301:
As a Chinese, I don't really care whether it will be US, India or China to be no 1 (in GDP). I just care whether my living standard will improve.
If the Chinese can't move up the ladder and develop its own technology, it would still be good for US to remain strong and creative and take lead in creating nice things like Google, iPhone, etc. If India can do better then let it be.
This is a global village. Being no 1 is not so important. If someone else is better than me, takes the lead and makes my life better than I have no complaint.

Quote from garchbrooks:
I'm an NRI, and I think what holds India back is the cultural attitude towards risk. As much as it's great to produce a lot of doctors and engineers, the culture needs to refocus on producing entrepreneurs.
I don't think the Chinese have such an aversion to risk. In some ways, they're more ruthless and unbounded when it comes to profit opportunities.
Though, I think Indians are learning from the west.
Quote from hippie:
There are some ruthless Chinese - too exploitative like the owner of Foxconn and many other slave factories in China. Many overseas Chinese had learned business ethics, but the ones in China are still unscrupulous - making toxic food and medication.
Until China learn some business ethics, their products cannot be trusted to be safe and work as specified. I have no problem with a Chinese-made desk fan, but I will not get on a China-manufactured airplane - slave workers cannot make great products.
