The Future of China?, Where India left in dust? Options

[richasiankid]

Some rhapsodise just how great India will thrive on multi-religious democracy (unlike Israel or mid east). Others fancy India becoming like HK or S'pore securing itself via English facility against evil Sinic hegemony.

But in the end it's a lesson where everything's sweet & swell India where it doesn't measure up, where it still can't even secure the basics and where human capital matters:

PISA 2009 report for (against?) India?

Cities of India are still at the very very bottom, while cities like Shanghai are wowwing off the charts.

Yet another data point we're different.....

I'm not "butthurt".

I don't mind saying Chinese are smart. I just don't like when people say it makes them superior just for being Chinese.

i went to the uni in US here, have to say chinese are not that smart, superior or something but they're quite hard workers (not all of them). And of course in the score board, every asian i saw seemed to be equal in academic achievements and higher than other races

I agree.

OP likes to cherry pick studies that make China look good. Which I don't have problems with. I have a problem when he says it makes Chinese better than other Asians like Filipinos, Vietnamese etc.

For him to say Chinese are more intelligent than Vietnamese etc. is like a white guy saying Germans are more intelligent than Swedish or Italian people. They are very close genetically (notice I didn't say identical) and have had extensive contact throughout history it doesn't make much sense.
