But the graph stops at 2002 !!

By then, India may (keyword, MAY) have quicken its pace.

Part of my investment are in India, in the field of embedded
programming, and I can tell you that in electronic fields, India has
surpassed China by a wide margin. My investment in China are not in
developing, rather, in production.

If the development is crucial, I'll place them in USA and Japan. But
if I'm in a rush, and I need to start something yesterday, India has a
lot to offer me.

China has the capacity too, but they can't act as fast as their
counterpart in India. Trust me in this.

If you read my reply above, you'll see that I have my production in
China, development in India. Many others are doing that as well.
Result? China's ex****t are made of tangible things --- boxes of goods.
While India's ex****t are mostly Ideas, IP (Intellectual Properties),
talents, and experience they've gained from many world class R&D
programs.

Please do not confuse yourself.

What propels a nation forward is not the "average" IQ, rather, it's
the creme-de-la-creme that lead the country upwards (or downwards).

The average Indians may not be smart, but those smart Indians are much
smarter than smart Chinese !!!

Trust me in this. I'm an ethnic Chinese, I know a lot of very smart
Chinese. But when I compare those very smart Chinese that I know, with
very smart Indians that I know, the Indians win !!

I'm an ethnic Chinese, and if I have any bias, my bias ought to be on
the Chinese side. But I try to be as fair as I can be, and when I do
that, I'd find that 9 times out of 10, the Indians win.

Why?

Because the Indians can think OUT OF THE BOX, while the average
Chinese, because of being poisoned by the 5,000 years of Con****ius
thoughts, DARE NOT to think out of the box !!!

And I kid you not !!!!!

Even the most intelligent Chinese have reservations in taking risk, in
doing the impossible, in taking a leap out of the logical process. The
Indians, on the other hand,  have none of those psychological
baggages !!!

Please open your eyes to the truth.

Thank you !
