first day using the internet is hard
I never understood with Indians hate so much Iran. Given the Iranians and the Pakistanis are not exactly friends to said the least. You would think the Indians would be the most oppose US strikes on Iran but they are biggest cheerleaders.
What's stopping you? Reddit is full of openly anti-Chinese content - racist diatribes that often stay up without moderation and even get applauded.
It's nearly impossible to find a subreddit thread discussing China neutrally or positively without comments immediately labeling it "wumao propaganda," bringing up Tiananmen, Hong Kong, or Uyghur issues.
I don't care that you find this forum's environment uncomfortable because it doesn't match your anti-China views.
Indian nationalists are quick to accuse others of hypersensitivity, yet react strongly to any criticism of India—its culture, policies, or society—even when based on lived experience. That's the real hypocrisy here.

Cus they're anti-China and unlike us, they get their facts wrong and brag about it. Half is a tall order. It's like saying if snail can run half as fast as a horse. Mind your history on India's "development."
They can do modestly good; half the world does. It has nothing to do with China, fighting at the top of the world for the throne and winning.
Not really, what will matter more is technology and innovation and China will continue to make it a Western nightmare on that front.
So if less people make and consume more product, better product, more expensive product, GDP per capita increases as does quality of life. That's the effect of automation.
Your point should be restated. Can we rely on China to continue overperforming by a factor of 3 against Indian manufacturing? It's all comparative and we've won every comparison because we weren't even looking at them; we were comparing with the US.
Japan's decline is the result of defeatism and American colonialism. It was mentally crushing for the Japanese to lose WWII, but they had false hope that they could stand back up with the economy. Then America's grip over them meant that they were crushed there too. They lost all hope. What's the point of fighting when you're just a puppet living in a jar in the palm of your master's hand?
Good, they deserve a hard knock to their quality of life, getting their goods made by China while they pay little for them. Before China moves on the island, we will reach a point where the West offers nothing in trade that China wants but China makes everything they need to sustain their basic economy. We can sharply decouple then.
LMFAO who knows? Not you, but you talk.
Yeah yeah, we've heard this many times. I also think India has great potential from seeing the Indians in the West as they perform on a high level. But then after seeing India's native performance, we've all realized that India's ability to acheive potential is at least as low as its potential is high.
What topic is this? I thought you were talking about why we're anti-Indian? Isn't this a banned demographic topic that you were dunked on several times before already before they had to shut it down? This exact line has been answered and defeated many times, but you bring up the zombie point again and again, in different discussions as if we never debated you to the point where you had no response.
Don't know what's more pathetic; a person offended by others' choice in music or a person who goes onto a forum to bitch and moan about how it sucks and how he'd rather be on another forum LOL Was that meant to make a single person want to make a change to keep you here or make you more comfortable?

It’s not anti-India to rate them based purely on their actual past performance instead of imagined and vastly exaggerated ‘potential’.
India‘a much hyped demographic dividend that you reference is just one of countless examples where not only had the benefits not remotely materialised, but it is in fact turning into a massive liability.
India has utterly failed to provide even secondary education to 2/3 of teenagers as of last year. It is so categorically failing to generate enough jobs for the tiny proportion of its youth population it does manage to educate to degree level that not only are graduates are its primary export, it’s highest priority when negotiating trade deals is that those countries open themselves up for India to export more of its excess feet and mouths.
India’s best and only hope for the future is if its adult mortality rates skyrocket, because if even a fraction of its demographic dividend survive to pension age, they will never financially recover.
To start on a premise of India using its labour half as efficiently as China is as likely and relevant as me outlying scenarios starting with me having just won the Euromillions jackpot.
Nice dream, keep dreaming.

Sometimes when I watch history videos, I wish things had unfolded differently, that Christianity had been crushed by Islamic forces like the Ottomans or that Salahuddin would have completely conquered Europe. Then I'm reminded by things like this that that may very well be a wish that would bring much regret if it had come to fruition.

LMAO tweet of the day: Schrodinger's CIA!
With the nation as it is, it will devolve into an extreme mess that will be impossible to solve. Trump would like to become Hitler right now to maintain his power but unlike Hitler, Trump is incompetent to the extreme to put it rather mildly. At least Hitler has some popularity and he was able to conquer territory quite easily until he made the mistake of taking on Russia. What does Trump have except TACOs
You are welcome to go back to a western forum if that place is somehow any better. I mean I am sure Reddit would certainly love your wisdom
