'India Doesn't Know China Well Enough, It's A Weakness'

China looks down on India, while India doesn't think big of China. This line sums up the problematic discourse between Delhi and Beijing, argues Prof B R Deepak of Delhi's Jawaharlal Nehru University. In this chat with SNI on the occasion of China marking 70 years of the founding of the communist republic, Deepak believes no major transformation in the relationship is likely in the near future. He also faults India for not doing enough to study and understand China and contrasts this with the time and effort put in by Chinese universities to research on India.

India's understanding of China is through the Anglo Saxon perspective. How will you get to the real truth about China?

[@ibrahimyange1528]

That's because India also sees itself through that paradigm. Indian politicians are all over the place, they can't patch things up anywhere, at home or in the international stage. I think once the internal situation is actually structured properly, the rest will just go much easier.

Present understanding of India about China is what Western scholars viewed & understand from Western perspective. India shall form specific dedicated China centre as West has. Everything about China should be studied on it. Economic, Political, cultural, technology , Education etc. India should have its own Independent policy towards China keeping in mind its own interest. We will make gross mistake to understand China from Western perspective. Whether you like it or not China will stay as Superpower for next 100 year & we have to live with it.

[@Baargu]

That's what people thought about America...they even thought many hundreds of years..they couldn't complete even one century as a global power... China does not have same advantages like oil and military..they have the highest debt of 300%.. instead of just looking at superficial things.. Think about this...will you dare to live as a lower middle class person in China with no money, no freedom and no rights?! What good is money?! Compare India and us in 1950...now compare India and China now?! Do you really think we are doing that bad?! Considering we had to fight terrorists and maoism?! Gifts from Pakistan and China?! Wake up or you will mentally become slave to their propaganda like the Chinese bots commenting on a site which is not even legal in China..

[@Baargu]

@E Rampersad the point is when cost of living increases, along with lack of young population to make use of it...adding to it the movement of manufacturing overseas..defaults of loans by countries part of one road one belt initiative..China has no where to get the money from..internal debt will cause destruction of local economies as the government debt is an npa.... Previously it did not have any trade wars too..the incoming foreign investment and income helped them cover it..

[@Baargu]

@E Rampersad I agree...I have been telling the same to my friends for last five years...unlike China we don't have abundance of local land...also rental properties will be the future due to lack of space.. Thank you.

[@Baargu]

@E Rampersad I agree with most of your comments but in modern world China cannot force themselves due to the chance of nuclear war...what do you think China will do when the countries nationalize the Chinese owned properties in their country one or two years down the line...what happens when european and American companies use the same countries in which China sets up manufacturing to make goods for them?! Soviet Russia was in almost similar position to China now.... When ever a communities cost of living raises the cost of production raises..when they outsource manufacturing they loose control over the process like what happened to America and Europe before that.... In two years China will be worse than America..the only advantage China had was cheap labour...their education and intellect has never been exceptional...thanks to stress on chinese and propaganda in their education... Closed societies like these are doomed to fail...the economy of China may be open but the minds are closed...which is why they are so aggressive in expanding instead of cementing their base..

@@Baargu ".they couldn't complete even one century as a global power." The US has everything it needs to retain its status as one of the most powerful and prosperous countries in the world. The fact that it is looking to enter serioius decline is mostly due to self-inflicted wounds, such as: - lack of investment in domestic infrastructure - lack of strategic investment in R&D for the tech fields likely to rule the future - wasteful spending on foreign military adventures and occupations - a democratic system that does not allow for forward planning and continuity (a failing that India shares). - the prioritizing of financial hegemony (global reserve status for the US dollar) for geopolitical reasons, at the expense of the domestic economy. - an irresponsible corporate media that damages the social fabric in pursuit of clicks and profit. Honestly, given the US' demographics and technological lead, it is baffling that the US is not currently leading the 4th industrial revolution and ;ea ving China to another century of playing catch-up. The fact that China is expected by some to steal the lead in high-tech industries within the next 10 to 15 years is a testament to the absolute state of poor governance of the US.

I think it is so pity for India to lag behind. Indian has much more arable land than China. Indian people are very smart and speak English well. It is closer to Mid East where oil were produced. It has closer relationship with the west and can buy high tech products from them, while China has to make them by itself. The main difference is that for Chinese government, the made a plan every 5 years for the next 5 years, sticks to the plan and works on details within those five years. Indian, on the other hand, doesn't have a powerful government. Once the administration changes, a lot of plans get overturned. Plus, China might invest in India in its infrastructure (it is very important), but it doesn't want Indian to industrialize too fast. China did so with the idea of selling overproduced materials. The west wants to sell products to India but won't and don't have incentives to make it transform to be a high tech driven economy. The lesson that India can learn from China is unifying the whole nation and work with one heart, do not try to rely on any other nations, neither China, nor the US.

@@factspoken9062 China first unified to be the state we know now under the Qin, but the borders changed as China was conquered, split, reunified, etc. like a dozen times (and there used to be major states dominating the same region since well before that), though there was at least more continuity with China's dynasties than India's dominant empires - In China, each dynasty claims to be the successor state of the previous one, not so much for India. The Qing conquered the Ming, expanded to massive borders, and established sovereignty over Tibet - which happened in the 1600s - 1700s ("priest and patron" in 1653, full on subordinate protectorate in 1720 after the Dzungar Khanate invasions), and didn't lose de jure control until it fell apart (In the 1907 Anglo-Russian convention, Qing suzerainty over Tibet was reaffirmed and affixed to an international document). It wasn't part of "China proper", you could say, but the integration that happened afterwards wasn't quite just marching in on a sovereign nation: Communist China saw itself as (and was later recognized as despite the so-called illegal occupation) the successor to the Qing, which meant de jure claims on overlordship over Tibet, and forcibly integrating vassals was far from unheard of. Tibet was de facto independent until the Chinese successor state reasserted itself. Meanwhile, India as we know it nowadays didn't exist until less than a century ago - It wasn't the successor to the Muhgals or anything, it was its own state. That state was established by British border drawing, and India is rightly regarded as a post-colonial state that didn't exist until said colonization.

[@jingzhi2898]

The reason why China looks down on India is not because Britain colonizes India, because there are many British colonial countries, which is not very strange. The reason why I despise India is because India is in such a good condition. (The UK has left India with a lot of infrastructure, technology talent, and industrial base). It actually developed into this, and India suffered little damage from World War II. Unlike China, which was the main battlefield of the Second World War, it lost hundreds of billions of dollars, killed tens of millions of people, and destroyed the industrial base. The two countries have different starting points at the beginning of the founding of the country. India’s starting point is higher than China’s.

[@chinahamyku6583]

Objectively speaking, both China and India lack understanding of each other. This is a pity for our two neighboring countries and their people. If we want to change this situation, it is necessary for the governments and media of our two countries to report each other objectively so as to enhance mutual understanding between the two peoples.But the reality today is that Chinese media rarely report on India, while Indian media are mostly anti-Chinese media. There are only one flight from Beijing to India a week, while there are 7 flights to Japan, South Korea and other Asian countries. Classes, even more. This is fundamentally unable to enhance mutual understanding between the two peoples.

What i think that Indian establishment had always lived in fool's paradise it may be the effect of 1000yrs slavery mentality. I'm saying this bcz in India whole world is watched with the prism of british or western world understanding not in our way by the so called scholars of the modern Indian history and theirs followers. The inferiority complex is so deep rooted in our society regardless of whether the person or society belongs to from north or south or east or west of India. They try to speak, eat, behave, dress like britishers or americans or u may say whole as westerns ideology. If we have to understand chinese ideology, culture , society and their views regarding the world we always look at americans or western scholars views, in the same way if we have to understand the behavior of americans or western world we always watch them with russian perspective and vice-versa. In last 70yrs we haven't established till date either at govt. level or university level think tank or researchers like usa and china to do research on regarding their characteristics and behavior regarding power politics which can help us during conflict situations against the adversaries. Due to this apologist behavior by the govt as well as by people, we can't downplay the western world narrative against us on kashmir or poverty or on our scientific development when they mock us. Each nation has some weak point, u have to know the art of utilising it when and how. If u feel sorry for the glory of your culture and civilisation from top to bottom level or from govt. to people level then how u make others to think to respect u as a nation of pride and glory. Regarding the chinese scholars, who lived in the awe of this civilisation since centuries had to change their view at a sudden when they visited India during freedom struggle, it was because we were not fighting for freedom , we were demanding the freedom from one who have having modern weapons in their hands. We were seen to others as very poor people who don't have the might to stand tall against the invaders. Here people were busy in singing poem in the praise of the oppressors. Mighty get respect not the weaker.

And their economy supermacy had collapsed after wwII due to which they can't afford further support from the british army to suppress the revolt which is susceptible to army and air force. So they lost the ground and they thought it would be better to return in more respected manner than thrashed by Indian revoltee. If independence was fetched by arms struggle then u find it in national character. Then people also respect their independence and work for nation building but did it actually happen? No. For any nation to survive their existence for longer time period , they have to safeguard their boundary which requires strong millitary but what happened actually was nehru started to downplay the millitary by downgrading its number from 25 lac to 2-3 lacs which resulted in embarrassing defeat in 1962 war. Here very few people are worried for the nation which lead to corruption from top to bottom level, whether a person is highly educated or uneducated.

[@occadude2003]

thank you for speaking out the truth. I for one was formed my opinion of India starting from about 10 years ago when I read online Times of India and Hindustan Times. Every time when there was any report about China, there are tons of negative comments which manifested more or less Indian national view of China. In my humble opinion, most of them either not true, or twisted, or exaggerated. True though, most of people in China then did not know anything about 1962 war and had little or no knowledge of India. there were also very hostile rhetoric emanating from India government and media, e.g. --when India tested atomic bomb, Indian government did not only claim that the atomic bomb was targeting China, but also wrote to USA to claim so. Today, India told China that India wants NSG membership. --Whenever India tested their missile, the headline of its media was like "Agni can reach to Beijing Shanghai and etc". Think about me being a Chinese who would think of India. --In the disputed border, India media sensationalized the border dispute constantly until India realized the balance of power had tipped to China completely. Now when China is in the upper hand, does China do anything similar to India?

To anyone who's interested in understanding how modern Chinese citizens think, I highly recommend reading the novel Three Body Problem by Cixin Liu.

[@deadbutmoving]

As someone who has been to both countries, I think India and China are both far too different to draw anything useful from each other. In terms of practical economic and political policy, India has nothing to learn from China. China is it's own unique culture and history. China's economic, political, and cultural policies was design to best fit the Chinese situation and narrative. India is under extremely different circumstances and cannot copy or even learn lessons from China's growth. If India has anything to learn from China, it's that countries need to develop based on their own culture and situation and stop blindly following Western norms and expectations. That is something that Indians will never do, because even though Indians took back their lands and territory from their former Anglo Saxon colonizers, the Indian people never truly won the fight to take back their sense of intellectual and cultural independence. India is still intellectually and psychologically colonized/dominated by the Western powers. China suffered greatly from Western militarism and colonialism just as India, but the difference is the Chinese learned to look at White people with suspicion and distrust. Indians on the other hand still look for affirmation and validation from the Western world. Many Chinese are confused about India's attitude towards the West, because they feel India is such a great country with a long and glorious history, why would they ever want to look for acceptance and validation from Westerners? From what I've seen, if there is one reason Chinese people disrespect Indians, it's because many Chinese people feel Indians have no sense of pride and independence from the West. I don't think Chinese people are alone in this attitude towards India. I think many non-Western peoples and nations around the world are thinking the same thing.
