INDIAN ECONOMY
VERSUS
CHINESE
ECONOMY: AN
ANALYSIS
 INTRODUCTI
ON
India and China, two of the Asian giants
have locked horns against one another to
become a world superpower.
Historically, inevitable comparisons of
economies between these two giants has
shown that China usually emerges on
top. The economists attribute this to the
Chinese fast-acting government
implementing new policies making Indias
political system appear sluggish.
Both countries are consistently analysing
their economic strengths and reinforcing
their political and financial systems to
sustain and establish themselves as a
superpower in the global economy.
 PRESENT ECONOMIC STATUS OF INDIA AND
CHINA
Together accounting for 2.5 billion people,
China and India are today the engines of
growth in the midst of rapid economic
transformation in the global economy.
The economies of India and China are
influenced by a number of factors like social ,
political , economic and other factors.
The economy of China is more developed than
that of India. In terms of exchange rates, India
is the 9th largest economy while China is in the
2nd position surpassing Japan. Today, Indias
GDP is estimated at around $1.537 trillion
while Chinas average GDP is around $ 5.878
trillion. Chinas GDP growth has been
marginally yet consistently ahead of its Indian
counterpart. However, India lags far behind
China in the case of per capita GDP.
 India enjoys an upper hand in the IT/BPO industry
with the BPO sector alone contributing $49.7 billion
while China earned $35.76 billion.
The Chinese capital market lags behind the Indian
capital market in terms of predictability and
transparency. Owing to the quality of listed
companies and Indias stock markets adhering to the
international guidelines , the Indian stock markets
establish financial transparency and are more stable.
As on date, China lags far behind in the business
forefront owing to its lack of management reform and
its inability to increase mergers and acquisitions with
several organizations across the world. On the other
hand, India has rapidly emerged and is still
expanding its mergers and acquisitions with several
international organizations.
With trade and manufacturing being the key sectors
in the Chinese economy ahead, India still strives to
strike the perfect balance between its service,
manufacturing and trading sectors.
 CHALLENGES FACED BY
INDIA
To lead the economy back to the high GDP growth rate of
9 percent per annum.
Handling overpopulation resulting in low per-capita
income and increasing poverty.
High levels of debt and growth in lending by 30%
because of a property boom.
Sharp and growing regional variations among different
states and territories in terms of poverty, availability of
infrastructure and socio-economic development.
Literacy rate of 74% is still lower than the worldwide
average and there exists a severe disparity in literacy
rates and educational opportunities between males and
females, urban and rural areas, and among different
social groups.
Corruption and Unemployment.
 CHALLENGES FACED BY CHINA
NPL- Chinese bank loans stood at USD 6500 per
capita in 2014 compared to Gross Domestic Product
(GDP) per capita of USD 4400.
Expansion in economy is bringing inflation and
property boom.
Shortage of Power: More power is required with a
growing Chinese economy.
Growing Income Inequality: Chinas economic growth
has benefitted the south and eastern regions more
creating a growing disparity between north and south
which has led to migration of farmers from north to
south.
Unemployment mainly due to many state-owned
enterprises which are grossly inefficient.
A demographic transition. By 2050, China will be
older and more age-challenged on every important
measure.

 CONCLUSION
The China-India comparison is central to the
Asian debate. It is also of great importance to
the rest of the world. In the end, it may not be
an either/or condition. While the Chinese
economy has outperformed India by a wide
margin over the past 15 years, there are no
guarantees that past performance is indicative
of what lies ahead. Each of these dynamic
economies is now at a critical juncture in its
development challenge facing the choice of
whether to stay on course or alter the strategy.
As recently as 1991, China and India stood at
similar levels of economic development. Today
the Chinese standard of living is over thrice
than that of Indias , with Chinas GDP per
capita hitting US$ 4382.14 in 2010 versus US$
1264.84 in India. The two nations have
approached the development challenge in very
different ways. China has pursued a
manufacturing-led growth strategy whereas
India has chosen a more services-based
