I'd rather india wins because I think desi girls are hotter, but my intel analysis tells me china would win.

I'm sure people said the same thing about the United States in its infancy, and the United Kingdom in its.

So far your intel is wrong. Must have gotten it from British Intelligense.

China will kick India's ass!! They did once before, look for it on the internet ;)

So far your intel is wrong. Must have gotten it from British Intelligense.I agree with the article that China or India won't rise to the level of superpowers for some time. They can't do it by IT jobs and manufacturing cheap goods alone, they need to work on their governments.

Which is exactly why China won't kick India's ass.

Which is exactly why China won't kick India's ass.I thought the thread was about a China vs. India showdown. Then I read the article.

Well, technically, China could kick India's ass. I just support the Indians more because I prefer their accents.

A recent call I made:

***ACTUAL PHONE CONVERSATION***

Bangalore accent man: Chase Customer service. This is Jason; how may I help you?

Me: You're name isn't really Jason, is it?

Jason: Yes it is. How may I help you.

Me: Wait...wait...your telling me that you are not in India right now and that your name really is Jason?

Jason: Ma'am, how may I help you today?

Me: I'm not a ma'am, at least not on my drivers license. I'm just gay. Now answer the question.

Jason: Ok sir. My name really isn't Jason and I am in India. Now how can I help you today?

Me: Do you have my Visa number?

Jason: Yes, it is also your account number, which you entered into the automated voice...

Me (cuts in): Ok, so, you have my Visa number. Please, do me a favour and get more vocal coaching. Now, what are these charges....

My loyalty SHOULD be w/ India...
But intuitively, after visiting india, I really believe that china will "win". This is because of several factors, all of which i'm currently too lazy to get into.

I believe that over the years China will crumble under its own social opression. That's why I believe that eventually India will come out on top, also India has much more support from the West than China does. To the point where Russia and the US are realizing that they need to work together to contain China.

Otherwise they would have crumbled before the U.S.S.R

[Hustler]

China has two major advantages over India: a superior infrastructure and a big head start in GDP per capita ($6800 to $3300). What's more, as of 2005, China was still outpacing India in terms of GDP growth. India has a lot of ground to gain before it can rightly be considered a rival of China.

I like their choice of pictures. If I was writing an article about USA, I would have chosen this one, with a caption: USA, still desperately poor (http://img240.imageshack.us/img240/8184/homelessyr8.jpg)

:rolleyes2

Makes you wonder why the author didn't choose one of the pictures of Shanghai (http://leonardo.cs.berkeley.edu/nhz/gallery/slideshow.php?set_albumName=shanghai) for China?
