PD - despite Chinese progress, there is still poverty in China

India is being recognised as the next country to move up. If a few cities look western & modern - it does not mean the whole country has progressed evenly.
In Democratic countries like India it is harder, since we cannot force people to have 1 child only. Not ban rural people from moving into cities like china does, eg Hong Kong. Nor can India crush demonstrations like in China.
Trade Unions, political parties are all banned in China. Freedom of press & expression is unhear off there, and only the good stories of China are allowed to be published. Religion is not encouraged, and most educated chinese have no religion.
Fulon Gong - members are hunted and killed, and there are people who beleive that their organs are harvested.
The only common thing Pak & china have is their governments mutual dislike of India. Nothing else!!
