Abstract: Following the post-1978 economic and political reforms that provided
incentives for private and foreign investments, China has left
India behind in terms of almost all economic and technological indicators.
Between 1980 and 2002, China’s per capita gross domestic
product (GDP) increased from US$134 to $960, while India’s increased
from $262 to $470 (see table 1). From 1978 to 2003, China’s inward foreign
direct investment exceeded $400 billion.1 In the 1990s, India’s share inworld trade grew from 0.5 to 0.7 percent,
while China’s share rose steeply from 1.8 to
4.0 percent. In 2001, China’s total exports
were $259 billion, compared to India’s $40
billion. China’s fixed-telephone and PC penetration
rates are over four times greater than
India’s, and cell phone penetration is over 13
times greater (see table 1).
