China is superior to India in many ways.
- Unemployment rate is higher (4,5% in China and 3,4% in India).
- China has a striking high proportion of women workers; their labour force participation is more than twice that of their Indian peers.
- China’s literacy rate has reached a remarkable level, especially given that people must learn characters rather than an alphabet. Over 96% of the population are literate - compared to just over 71% in India.
- China is notorious for its lack of press freedom. But Reporters Without Borders suggests that India has plenty of problems too.
- A baby born in China can expect to live for nine years longer than one born in India.
- India has a split society in terms of race and religion. People are being killed for eating beef, foreigners are attacked for difamation of temples.
