The way China is working on its economy, its infrastructure and development, technology education, the way it is working on its agriculture in its space sector. The way he is going to improve his army day by day, the day is not far when he will rule the whole world.

China and India are the largest population countries in the world and the economy of both is growing rapidly. But China has taken a lot of lead from India in many regions. In this article, we will compare China and India on the basis of infrastructure, education, technical sector, global trade and military power and will try to understand.

After all, what is the reason that made China a superpower country, while India is still behind this race, let us know in detail about China and how much it is than in India.
China and India: Historical Backgrounds and Development Tour
China's civilization is one of the ancient civilizations of the world. This country comes from civilizations that developed independent writing systems in a very old time. China was built in 220 BC and since then China has developed unprecedented.

China's development expands from the end of the 1970s, but before that in 1959 and 1960, there was a huge tragedy in China. Which is known as Great Chinese Famine. This tragedy is considered one of the most deadly starvations in human history, killing about 3 to 4 crore people. In many places, people were forced to do even to live in consequences.

Despite this, China improved its economic crises and emerged all over the world as a global superpower through its industrialization.

Revolution in the field of industrial
In today's time, China has the only country in the world with the highest amount of foreign exchange. This volume is equal to about 3.12 trillion dollars. Today, China's GDP is equivalent to about 11 trillion dollars, which is almost the second or third country in the world in this case, but how did all this happen in just 50 years.

China had started the development of the primary revolution in our country since the 70s. Its credit is given to Dang Syoping in the form of Economic Revolution in 1978, it has been 47 years in 2025. Dang Shyoping that was called the second revolutionary of China
Since this economic reform, China had become stronger among the world's largest economies. After that, the revolution in the industrial sector of China was one of the biggest initiatives for China.
Dang was not only a great reformer but he was also eager.
The example of the socio -economic reform that Dang started is not found in human history. China's GDP rose 3,230 percent between 1978 and 2016.

Meanwhile, 70 crore people were brought above the poverty line and 38.5 crore people joined the middle class.

China's foreign trade increased by 17,500 percent and by 2015, China came to the fore in foreign trade. In 1978, China does the business done throughout the year, now it does in just two days.
Which was just 1.8 percent of China's share in the world economy in the revolution which started in 1978, increased to 18.2 percent in 2017.

Xi Jinping wants to make a superpower in terms of manufacturing to make China's economy more effective. For this, he has been carrying on the policies of Dang Shyoping, which includes steps such as opening the economy and economic reform


Can India beat China in future?

China and India are the largest population countries in the world and the economy of both is growing rapidly. But China has taken a lot of lead from India in many regions. In this article, we will compare China and India on the basis of infrastructure, education, technical sector, global trade and military power and will try to understand whether India can defeat China in the future.

1. China's lead in infrastructure

China's infrastructure is considered the most advanced in the world. High-speed railway networks, expressways, ports, and smart cities are growing rapidly in the country. China has invested heavily in its high-speed train system since 2008, which has now exceeded 40,000 km. At the same time, India is still in the process of modernizing its railway system.

World-class metro systems, expressways and flyovers are rapidly built in Chinese cities, while it takes a long time to complete infrastructure projects in India. Although the government in India is also working on Smart City Mission and Bullet Train Projects, it is still in the initial stage compared to China.

2. Edge and comparison in education and technical fields

Education and technology play an important role in the progress of any country. China has invested heavily in higher education and its universities are among the top institutions in the world. China's share in science, engineering and medical research is increasing rapidly, leading to new techniques.

There are definitely IITs and other prestigious institutions in India, but there is still further improvement in the field of education and research. Chinese companies such as Huawei, Alibaba, and Tencent Technology are ahead in innovation, while IT companies of India (TCS, Infosys, Wipro) are mainly dependent on outsourcing. However, startup culture in India is growing rapidly, which may increase competition in the future.

3. China's hold in global trade and India's position

China is the largest exporting country in the world. His companies sell their products all over the world, making its economy strong. China's hold in electronics, machinery, pharmaceuticals, and automobile sectors is very strong.

India is also an emerging trading center, but is still lagging behind China in many areas. India's economy is primarily dependent on the service sector, while China's economy is based on manufacturing and exports. India is promoting manufacturing through schemes like 'Make in India' and 'self -sufficient India', but it will take time to reach China's level.

4.China's speed in military power

China's military power is considered third in the world, while India is fourth. China has state -of -the -art weapons, large -scale army, and strong defense technology. China's Navy is the second largest Navy in the world, while India is in the process of strengthening it.

India is also strengthening its defense system. India has recently developed Tejas fighter aircraft, fire missile, and self -sufficient defense equipment. However, China's defense budget is three times higher than India, making it moving more rapidly in the military sector.

5. Can India beat China in future?
India has a young population, growing economy, and strong democratic structure, making him a long race player. China's economy is currently large, but major reforms are being made in India as well. If India invests in its infrastructure, education, manufacturing and defense sector, it can challenge China in the future.

conclusion:
China is currently ahead of India in many regions, but India's growth rate and population benefits can make it a strong contender in the future. If the correct policies are adopted, India can beat China and become a global power in the coming decades.
