India "crush" China: with whom to be Russia?

5
In recent years, China is considered the most dynamic and developing. the economy of the world. However, China has already had a very serious competitor, which has practically surpassed the Celestial Empire in many respects. This is India. According to World Bank estimates, from October to December 2017, the Indian economy grew by 7,2%, and the Chinese - only by 6,8%.





Of course, while India cannot compete with China in terms of economic power and, especially, economic influence in the world. But the rapid growth rate of the Indian economy shows that the hour is not so far away when China will have to squeeze on the podium of the leaders of the world economy.

India has tremendous mobilization economic resources. The population of India is practically close in population to the population of China and, given the absence of state birth control in India, it will only grow. Very high fertility provides constant rejuvenation of the population. There are a lot of youth in India, and where youth is, there is development.

Like the Chinese communities, Indian diasporas are widely represented in various regions of the world - from Southeast Asia and Oceania to East Africa and Latin America. Where the diaspora is, there are both economic interests and influence. Moreover, India has developed economic relations with Great Britain as a former metropolis, with the USA, with former British dominions - Australia, New Zealand.

Now, Delhi is trying to actively compete with its neighbor and long-standing military-political rival China and in the economic field. So, India seeks to keep up with China in the development of the African continent. It is known that China is rapidly expanding its presence in Africa, and Beijing has shifted from cultural participation to the creation of military bases. India during 2018-2020 plans to open 18 new diplomatic missions in African countries - Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Somalia, Sierra Leone, etc. That is, we see that India is trying to follow the Chinese example and draws attention to those regions of the world that can easily be subordinated to Indian economic and cultural influence.

For Russia, India's growing economic opportunities are also of great interest. First of all, India is interesting as a space for the export of Russian advanced of technologiesthat could find application in a wide variety of areas of the Indian economy - from agriculture to aircraft manufacturing. Currently, India is most actively cooperating with Russia in the aircraft and shipbuilding sectors. The famous "turn to the East," which Russia began to talk about in the late 1990s, does not mean that we need to focus on economic ties with China. India is no less interesting and promising partner, relations with which need development and improvement. And in any case, one should not allow India and the United States, which are also very interested in the growing potential of this country, to “crush” India.

    China makes most of the weapons itself, unlike India. And the production of high-tech products is almost concentrated in China, in Shenzhen.

    It seems that the USSR-Russia and India have long-standing friendly relations in the military and economic terms, not particularly overshadowed by anything?
    In Hindustan, there is also a nuclear-powered Pakistan (a part of India separated by the British, which is being intensively "huddled" by Washington), so the Naglo-Saxons have leverage for "checks and balances". They want and can screw up Russia ...

    Well, it is not clear when the Indian miracle in the economy will happen. Although it is already clear that we will be partners with the Chinese and Indians.

    We have a common border with China, but there is no common border with India. The struggle for resources will most likely be with China (and it will be). India and China are conducting an independent foreign policy, the countries are self-sufficient, they do not look back at us. At certain stages, they can be partners, but they are not friends to us and certainly not allies. In my opinion, it would be better if India pumps China (due to the lack of a common border).

    In China there is a Communist Party, which took into account the mistakes of the Communist Party of the USSR. Indians are more nationalists than internationalists. It is necessary to trace their relationship with 2 years ago. So the answer will appear - who is who.
