India and China are two of the most populous nations on Earth. Both have over 1-billion people each.
Even though they are similar in terms of population, they are vastly different in terms of antics and achievements.
Chinese people generally love to stay under the radar and focus on working hard/being productive. Indians are often guilty of doing the opposite; they love to be in the spotlight and often come off as nosy/loud.
In terms of achievements and influence, China is clearly miles ahead of India. China is a genuine global superpower while India is more like a regional power.
China is ahead of India militarily and they don't flood other countries with illegal immigrants like India do (There are over 700K illegal Indians in USA alone).
So, how can Indians match the Chinese? What are some lessons they can learn from China?
Some lessons I can think of:
Lesson #1: Learn to accept constructive criticism instead of always deflecting and doing whataboutism. Chinese people believe in self-accountability while Indians generally always argue. Believe it or not, there is actually a funny (yet accurate) YouTube video regarding this:
Lesson #2: Focus on actual growth instead of doing cow vigilantism and other nonsense. This is year 2025 after all.
Lesson#3: Chinese people generally always mind their own business and they are always productive. Maybe being nosy/obnoxious prevents Indians from matching Chinese success.
Thoughts?
