Comparing China and India,
China 9,597,000 square kmt,
India 3,287,000 square kmt,
Similar population, about 1.4 billion.
But China beats India in every metric,
GDP-per-capita (5x)
international patents (28x)
foreign exchange reserves (6x)
manufacturing output (10x)
…（1/5）

China beats India in every metric,
foreign trade (6x)
median wealth of an adult (13x)
poverty reduction
life expectancy
healthcare and the list goes on
…
Keep in mind that, in 1991, India and China were at the same level for all those metrics.
What changed?（2/5）

India and China both opened up to the world, but in different ways.
China protected its sovereignty, while India blindly embraced “reforms.”
Now, it’s likely that India will turn out like any other numerous developing nations which will always be poorer.（3/5）

To totally control a country, one must control 8 primary institutions or sectors:
finance, business, media, technology, politicians, military, farming, and natural resources.
You can look at India and clearly see US’ total dominance in all these sectors.（4/5）

A smart India will stay friends with the US and, at the same time, leverage China to make peace with Pakistan.
Freeze border disputes for a few years and focus on growth, trade and peace.
Don’t become a victim of the divide-and-rule playbook.（5/5）
