1️⃣Industrial foundation during Mao era, with Soviet help, which was the biggest organized industry transfer in history.
2️⃣Reform & opening up, building up the biggest foreign-exchange reserve.
Why India doesn't have any of these 2.
1/10🧵
The "experts" that claims India will match China are simply delusional, and do not fundamentally understand what made China successful.
The steep wealth increase in China was the INDIRECT result of the 2 things mentioned above.
The most direct increase in wealth among Chinese families are actually the property value.
Housing in its essence is just a wooden or concrete box, its real value exists in the location and services near it (schools, healthcare, transport and job opportunities).
These property wealth were all backed by China's massive industries, exports and foreign echange reserves.
Without any one of which, none of the intangible wealth exists.
And China is so good at export, was because of the industrial foundation and social reforms of the Mao era.
Imagine the economy of each country as a bicycle, the legs peddling it are outside forces (exports) to make the bike go.
How efficiently the bike can go depends on the power of the legs, AS WELL AS the bike itself.
Is the chain lubricated, are the ball bearings of good quality.
Chains and ball bearings are the industrial foundation and work force of a country.
India of today is an inefficient bike, with rusting chains and broken spokes.
The tiny legs powering the bike are a handful of US companies that cannot provide enough output to...
...generate the rapid wealth creation of China in the early 2000s.
India's poor infrastructure, inefficient governance, poor social conditions for 50% of Indians (women), all exacerbate the inefficiency problem.
To predict the future, simply look at the trends.
India under Modi is regressing into a theocratic state, where religious fanaticism presides above all.
India's manufacturing as a percentage of its GDP have gone down under Modi.
Using the bike analogy, India have tiny weak legs powering a rusting bike.
Weak manufacturing means few exports, which causes weak domestic supply chain.
So even if Modi and his crony capitalist fraudsters like Adani wants to inflate the properties bubble a bit to rapidly increase the wealth of Indians (while making hundreds of billions themselves).
They cant, because the Indian economy has very few industry of tangible values.

Recently illegal Chinese migrants to the US have been labelled as "CCP spies".
As a Chinese citizen, it's actually not that hard to get a tourist visa to the US and overstay their visa.
Why did they trek have to across Darien gap and Central American? Who are they really?

The pictures are screenshots of a fight that broke out in LA, while illegal Chinese migrants are lining up for free food.
The son of the old lady in purple tries to get some food as her son battles it out with another guy right behind her.
They had the energy to fight, but they couldn't be bothered to earn an honest living in China.
That's because most of these people believes that the US is a land of milk and honey, where people with a minimum wage can buy a house and support an entire family.
Under his Chancellorship, with the ideals of Legalism, the State of Qi achieved a form of state capitalism in the year 645 BC.
Understanding China's evolving ideology through a 6th century BC example.🧵

The State of Qi is located on the Shandong peninsula, relatively poor on arable land, but rich with coastal resources in fishery and salt, mercantilism became dominant.
Guan Zhong reforms was possibly the world's first recorded policy relating to foreign direct investment.
With state subsidies, the State of Qi attracted many investments from other states. Which then boosted commerce, immigration and tax revenue.
Guan Zhong helped to create a higher value added economy compared to the agrarian economies of other states.
The bizarre Taylor Swift themed China hit-piece, is much more sinister.
It's actually part of a larger concerted effort by the Neoliberal elites to create worldwide gender based animosity.
The ultimate target is China, but South Korea was their successful sacrificial lamb

Some may ask why would these people do this?
Wouldn't it ruin their own society?
To study Galaxies, you must look at a neighboring galaxy, because we can't move back far enough to see our own.
Similarly, to understand Neoliberal elites you must look at the Indian Caste system
To higher Caste Indians, lower caste Indians' livelihood do not matter, they exist as chattel expendable resources that are just shaped like a human being.
To the neoliberal elites, most ordinary citizens are of similar status, at best they'll treat you like a walking ballot.
