China versus India
China versus India is the new battle of the titans on the global scene. How do they match up against each other?
India recently overtook China as the world’s most populous nation. Demographic data suggest that the gap between the two populations will increase exponentially in the future. The economic implication of this development could be that India takes over China’s position as the preferred destination for foreign investments, with a growing middle class and an abundance of low-cost labour.
It will not happen in the immediate future. China’s massive industrial complex is still by far the most attractive in terms of skills, infrastructure, and close-to-market considerations. But India is riding on a wave of new-found confidence and is eager to take on the competition at a time, where China feels the pressure from a slumping economy and rising geopolitical tensions with the West.
So, what will it take for India to catch up with China? What will be the consequences on both sides? Should we expect a more aggressive bilateral relationship – with the risks of global stability that this entails?
