to expand on my above comment about Rhodesia and Turkey, let's directly compare China and India's development along the same lines outlined by many development theorists. I've seen Vijay Prashad criticism posted here although he has ultimately a bit of a liberal, his analysis of this is strong. you can compare industries in China and Russia in addition to their foreign policy to understand why their development path will diverge even further from India. they outstrip their living conditions and industrialization and modernization of agriculture, all things like that, but look at their nuclear industry and their semiconductor industry. India only wants to play second fiddle to NATO+ firms like Nvidia Intel Amazon Microsoft other companies that now dip into the virtual chip factory market India only wants to serve as packaging and testing for the semiconductor industry, which is controlled by these high value firms in the west whereas China and Russia are directly competing with these countries top firms and their manufacturers in Taiwan and the Netherlands, respectively

>GDP figures contain dubious categories like ‘discrepancies’. These refer to the difference between real GDP growth of about 7.5% a year and real domestic expenditure growth of just 1.5% a year. They should be the same theoretically, but they are not – and the national statistical office ignores the latter. Part of the reason for the ‘discrepancy’ is that India’s government statisticians are ‘deflating’ money GDP into real GDP by a price deflator based on wholesale production prices and not on consumer prices, so that the real GDP growth figure is much higher than the real increase in spending. Also, the GDP figures are not ‘seasonally adjusted’ to take into account any changes in the number of days in a month or quarter or weather etc. Seasonal adjustment would have shown India’s real GDP growth well below the official figures.https://thenextrecession.wordpress.com/2024/04/19/india-modi-and-the-rise-of-the-billionaire-raj/ No.1830319

First and foremost, even if we measure countries by GDP instead of by a real economy, where China clearly leads, we get into a situation where China grows 5% while at 18 trillion and India grows 7% while at 3.5. Or 35 trillion and 15 trillion respectively if using GDP PPP.

What industry does India not have? Pretending it's some pre-industrial area is retarded.
<In India, at the Congress of the Communist Party in Amritsar (March/April 1958), approximately 67 per cent of the delegates were from classes other than the proletariat and peasantry (middle class, land-owning class, and small traders). 72 per cent had some college education.Most of these middle-class elements were never communists but simply disgruntled with private capital and wanted a state-controlled direction of the economy to ensure more rapid accumulation for the development of industry as well as independence from American capital.
Genuine Marxism has virtually never existed in India, the "Communist Party" was a hotchpotch of nationalist intellectuals and peasants formed in 1925 which immediately surrendered to Stalinism and by 1951 became an openly electoralist socdem group. Since then there have been innumerable splits and splits-within-splits, to the effect of there being 500 sects in existence and each as insufferable as the other.

Actually, currently the Chinese economy in nominal terms is about 5x the Indian economy, and in real terms is about 2.5x the Indian economy. By 2035, it should be around 3x the Indian economy in nominal terms and roughly 2x the Indian economy in real terms.
The real crisis for the Indians will be the same as the current crisis the Chinese are facing, which is escaping the Middle Income Trap.

As far as geopolitics goes, the Indians aren’t dumb and are trying to play a three-way between China, India, and the United States. They’re essentially fascist, yes, but won’t align the US too hard because if the Chinese fall, the Indians are next and they know it.
However, the Chinese have the opposite position, wherein they are playing a three-way or four-way between China, India, the Islamic World, and the United States.
In China’s case, China has settled territorial disputes with Muslim neighbors and has small Muslim minorities that have been forcefully eradicated, and Muslim states aren’t going to send Jihadis in large quantities for East Turkestan / Xinjiang.
The Islamic world is also much more anti-American, making them better allies than India, and India’s anti-Muslim stance, Kashmir dispute, and anti-Pakistani stance allows China to use the Muslim world to threaten or contain India.

As far as socialism in India goes; the BJP is a cross between the Deng-led CPC (remember we’re Xi-ist now) and the Japanese Liberal Democratic Party.

>>1830413BJP isn’t the CPC because the latter is an actual Marxist-Leninist party and can impose discipline in both local governments and the SOEs. The BJP, on the other hand, is much more beholden to capital, in the same vein as the Japanese LDP, which as people have said, is neither liberal, democratic, nor a party.
The Deng blast of the modern CPC isn’t accurate because while Dengism was an extreme form, Xi-ism is reverting China to a more Maoist lens, with SOEs dominating the economy. But it is starting from a right base and only gradually moving back left.

>>1830416As far as the Chinese economy goes, watch solar and battery spaces. The US economy is kept afloat in part by the fracking industry providing access to cheap energy and energy exports. By 2030, China should be able to export solar + batt for the same effects and see a 1-2% GDP boost per year.
Single junction is at around 15 cents per watt and will drop to 10 cents per watt shortly. Double junction should be around 30% efficiency and may be around 20-25 cents per watt by the end of the year. Installed prices are about 500 USD per kW of capacity in China at this point, but enhanced double junction should be able to bring prices down to 300 USD; cost per kWh for solar is about 4 cents right now, and can drop to 2.4.
The problem right now is cost of battery storage; currently, we are looking at cell prices of about 70 USD per kWh, but stationary storage cost is between 125 USD and 250 USD per kWh.
Battery prices will likely drop toward 20 USD per kWh as sodium and solid state matures, offering 30-60 USD per kWh of battery capacity.
On 5,000-10,000 cycles, it’s between 0.3 cents per kWh of storage to 1.2 cents per kWh of storage.
The economics comes out to about 3.6 cents per kWh plus 1.4 cents for 24 hours of battery storage, which makes solar + batt sufficient to replace fossil fuels altogether.
