Is India really growing faster than China?

[korecachelenko]

china is the best economic GDP in asia maybe in the world

[Achargeturry78]

Is it real because India has to many population all over the world. The economy of india is not good at all. So what is their accomplishments to able to surpass china which is well known as the famous economy master but greedy in power.

India’s bragging rights for growing faster than China, making it the world’s fastest growing major economy, have taken a severe knock as even its already dubious official growth figures are now betraying signs of a slowdown.

The latest numbers published for the April-June quarter show gross domestic product (GDP) is growing at an annualised 7.1 per cent, a sharp drop from 7.9 per cent in the previous quarter. This is the slowest growth rate in five quarters.

China is projected to end 2016 with a growth rate of 6.7 per cent, impressive for a US$11.4 trillion giant that’s nearly five times bigger than India’s US$2.3 trillion economy.

According to Ritika Manka Mukherjee of Ambit Capital, India would grow no more than 6.8 per cent in 2015-16, well short of the government’s projection of 7.6 per cent, and would be stuck with the same pace for the current fiscal year of 2016-17 to March 2017.

No, china is still growing at a very nice pace albeit with some hiccups which is normal. If you were to go to china you will see bustling activity!

That's not something to be celebrated. The only people who should be celebrating are the people on top who exploit all the people under them.

India's economy is developing very rapidly. But Chinese goods have long captured the markets around the world. India will be very difficult to pick up these markets in China. And on the turnover of a powerful China

yeah, China's markets exist in many countries around the world, it's hard for India to build that many markets like China.

but I don't say that India can't grow faster than China. who knows India has better strategies than China has.

[guoyu78]

Being from India, While I can say India is growing, I doubt it is faster than China. There is almost no country which at present could compete with the Manufacturing industries in China, and the GDP is not just about the percentage but also about the amount of growth.

But still you are much back from the remaining world as recently you have claimed as a surgical strike with your neighbor country but all of the experts of the world denied that it was just a fake strike and my Government (USA) also after a research claimed that it was just a fake strike and India do not have any tools for a strike like that. maybe all of your other claims will also be false. while there is no one in the world who prove false any claim of China.

China's 6.7% growth means an increase in GDP by $764 billion.

India's 7.1% growth means an increase in GDP by $163 billion.

With these figures, I don't know how you can claim that India is growing faster than China. And I don't expect India to overtake China, unless they eliminate the bureaucratic red tape and corruption.

from this data, we can see that china is more growing faster than india, and if we compare with population, i think china is still bigger than india. china is more step in front of india and its still growing in future.

This discussion has happened so many times.

-----------------------------------------------------------

"If" India says its growing, where is the growth?

Infrastructure: 0
Industrial Growth: 0 to -ve  (On ground fact)
Export growth: ?
Imports: always increasing

Farming: Regulation kills the biggest farmable area. No land holding above certain levels = poor farming practices, no true capital can be invested.

Catching up to China? Make your own decision.

All this growth is the top of the food chain. Many people in these continents live as 2nd or 3rd class citizens, especially with India's class system. In China students kill themselves because they fail their university entry exam. Life quality has a long way to go for both nations.

India and China are generally half the world's population. What difference one more? The main thing is not to resettle them in other countries. Because it will capture all.

[satdas]

i do not think so. i think India cannot even match China in next 50 year then how can they cross china, i think India should control their poverty and after that they should think about to cross China.

[simpler2016]

Right to become a competitor to China, India has a long time to develop. At the moment, we are talking very early this

Now China will not develop at a pace. Many governments in the world realized that we needed to return production to their countries. Will see, will soon begin to impose duties on the importation of products from China. Then India will dramatically catch up with China

Bureaucratic red tape and corruption are very much in mainland China as well. They need govt permission even to launch a website!

are you claiming that india is a corruption free land,indian government is one of the most corrupted in the world,industrial growth is hyped,labor rules are just bogus and still pointing fingers at china ,the Chinese are hard working people ,if you can check most of the products you use are from china

You are correct.

Just looking at India's position on the ease of business index. The regulatory hurdles, fickle and archaic laws, ever changing stance of government towards businessmen is enough to make sure capital is NOT invested which leads to lower employment, disguised unemployment.

Actually, India is quite serious developing. She was just very backward and her long to catch up with developed countries, but the pace of its development is higher than America.

70 years of independence and now we are catching up ?pace of development higher than america, what does this really mean,we need to create jobs establish industries and we can claim all these

Thats not true. There are a lot of reasons why India  cannot develop as fast as other countries, one of them being population. Its also not easy to compare populations of 2 countries like India and America based on just the GDP, because of different factors.

But India has many populations too and second only to China. Though India has Poverty issues also, but they are power to  consider also and can grow faster also in terms of GDP,I am very optimistic on this. In the news last day India has signed a deal with Russia to buy a missile. In the coming weeks, Mohdi and Xi will meet in India for China's Leader ate visit.

Not going to happen anytime soon. Just compare the system in India to that in China. India is mired in red-tape and corruption. And in addition to that an insane affirmative action policy is in place, which has led to millions of bright, young Indians migrating to western nations such as the United States and the United Kingdom.
