Is it safe to say that China is at least 30 years ahead of India?

Traffic on Roads. Well, experiences in India. š
This paradox argues that Viswa Parihasa, a swifter than Dung runner, can never overtake the slower Dung Poo Pew, who has a head start by the way, because by the time Viswa Parihasa reaches the Dung's starting point, Dung will have moved forward, and Viswa must then catch up to that new position, repeating this process⦠ad infinitum.
Malls and Cinema Metroplexes
Is The Last of Us Part 2 really as woke as people say it is?
Beyond that how logical would it be for one to pick a number based on the number of trips, the Planet Earth makes around the Sun?
China is a polity; India is a polity. So far so good.
Donāt constantly engage in below the navel gazing, if you know what I mean and most of all Donāt Complain; or at least not so much.

Another Eco System, where you donāt have to apologize. ššš
Your Corner D-Marts gave me the same āexperienceā as any that I had in Japan, China or Korea.
Not the distant unheard of thunder from climes and places, thousands of miles away.
But I thought, I would include it just for kicks and clicks. š
Again, in any urban setting in India, the Malls are an eco-system as good as any experience in China.
It is the same situation, when I learn Newtonās Laws or Calculus. I can freely learn it without breaking much of a sweat. Use some elseās Gyanodayam for literally free.
How does a 45-year-old man get a girlfriend?
Look at each individual Eco-system within your immediate environs, that works in your land, in your local Area and if you are not discomfited, then all is fine. āExperienceā is the key here.
Excellent staff from all over India. Amazing competence and professionalism shown by all from Doctors to Nurses to technicians, even the lift staff. ššš
You were āWaiting for your āDoughā
So, if China were at all worried, like Hippomenes, that India would overtake them in this āraceā that they are not worried about, then they will like Hippomenes toss some thorny crab apples* to distract the nattering classes in India.
Banks
And it does not matter, if the technology was invented in Timbuktoo, Africa. Copy Paste, Repeat.
That is all that matters really.
I generally donāt place a time scale on who is ahead or who is behind and by how many years in this āGame of Nationsā.
So no harm for Indians to ācopyā the technology obtained by sweat and tears and expense of billions of dollars or rubles over decades by the big Two.
This begs the question.
How long would it take for āVishwa Parihasa ā to catch up with āDung Po Pewā.
Hippomenes distracting the speedy Atalanta to win the race and also her hand in marriage
How do you weigh in on the Vance-couch conversation?
India has a space program that seeks to reap military as well as civilian benefits in this so-called race which there is none.
Any suitor, who wanted to win speedy Atalantaās hand would have to beat her in a race and if they lose, they would lose their heads.
Space race- Technology in general.
What does it mean if you dream your dad died?
Let us assume that the Polity called āDung Poo Pew ā is ahead of the Polity called āVishwa Parihasaā in some mythical race.
I will even wager one of my shares in JD. Com ( a Chinese MNC) that most Chinese are not even bothered to see, if India is ālaggingā behind them.
I land at Hyderabad or Bangalore Airports. The airports are spotless, well maintained, orderly and the people follow all the rules, the security is run smoothly like clockwork. The Uber and Taxi System is excellent and smoothly run. So is the Baggage Carousel, Immigration, Customs, etc. etc. WOW!
Now for some areas of discomfort.
Some Examples
Malls and Cineplexes in the US are dying⦠and descrepit (Thank you Amazon and Netfix) ⦠So experience wise, you folks have it good. ššš

Why does my sister want to have sex with me? What should I do?
Any Bank in an urban setting, used to be the equivalent of the famous play by Samuel Becket āWaiting for Godotā, except back then in India, decades ago.
This so-called race is in my opinion, a Phantasm, that only exists in peopleās mind and I would wager that this Phantasm chiefly exists, it seems in India- which is looking at China with a mixture of envy and jealousy.

So, here is my proposition.
Peace and good luck to all.
The model that prompts such a question is based on a āCircus Maximusā model in which Chariot races were run in ancient Rome, where Individual Nations in this example, are run like Chariots. Some are ahead, while some are behind and we are all spectators here.

These Airports are an Ecosystem, where Iām far more ācomfortableā and have a more āpleasurable experienceā than at La Guardia Airport or JFK Airport in New York $hitty. (misspelled intentionally).

Many lost their heads, as they looked behind to see if Atalanta was gaining on them . Hippomenes was given a head start by Atalanta.
Would that be logical? Yes!
Anyone, who looks behind to see whoās on their heel. will befall the same fate as all the suitors of the lovely Atalanta in Greek Mythology, who was the fastest runner in the world.

Another Example from Greek Mythology: Hippomenes and Atalanta race. [This is a warning to my country, the USA, really]
Donāt compare, Donāt Complain.
Afterall, Whatsapp, FB, mobile smart phones, have all helped us interact as well as avoid pesky and nosy neighbors and relatives.
But is this what we want to emulate? I donāt know the answer to that?
I donāt know. I know that if I were young, my sex drive would plummet, Viagra or not.
So what Iām suggesting is that rather than constantly comparing and tearing oneās clothes in agony, employ what the Japanese call āNemawashiā and Poka Yoke
Now, it is an experience that is just as good or not as good as any Bank Office in the US or China or any where else.
Well for starters, āVishwa Parihasa ā must run at a āfasterā pace than āDung Po Pew ā.
Viswa Parihasa and Dung Poo Pew Parodox per Zeno
Here it is an Eco-system where both Dung and Vishwa seem to be competing for the race to the bottom of the well. š
ECOSYSTEMS where the citizens experiences need to improve.
Not many will agree with Zeno, because he is a Mlechha Yavana Barbarian.ššafter all.
Iāve heard this proverb before: Fools build Houses and Wise Men live in them.
Not true in many other areas of the country. š
There is no shame, if one wants to repeat the technology, that was developed by the pioneers such as Russia and the US. The guide book and protocols are all there to emulate (Copy).
Nemawashi: Small incremental improvements, that make your daily experiences better in whatever āEcosystemā, you have to interact with.
What is the experience of an ordinary salaried family to living in this bee-hive?
Hippomenes won the hand in marriage of Atalanta following a running race by distracting her by tossing āgolden applesā whenever, he thought, she was gaining on him.
Poka Yoke: Make the design of the systems, so that even āvillage idiotsā (there are many) wonāt be able to make things worse in the Eco-system and ruin your experiences.
And the plummeting birth rate in China and the aversion to marriage in China and even sex, among the young is increasing exponentially, seems to point to that.
Look instead at Pockets of Comfort created within your immediate environs.
There is the Greek Philosopher Zenoās paradox.
To Indians, Crab Apples are wild apples that are extremely bitter, but are used to make Apple Cider- an alcoholic beverage, much safer to drink, than polluted water, back in the day.
Thanks for the request Nagarajan Sir. Sorry for the delay, it is tax filing time.
Brevity is the soul of wit, but what can I say⦠Verbosity is the soul of a Twit. And I admit to being Verbose.
The other factor is TIME. This is where the paradox comes in.
What is so magical about 30?
Petty Corruption. My mainland Chinese American friends, who travel back and forth to China assure me that petty Corruption is well and alive in China and the ranking by Transparency International, which monitors āperception of corruptionā in nations, ranks both India and China about equal. So that seems about right. š
Instead of giving GDP numbers, GDP/Capita and all those Statistics to make you feel good or bad, I decided to answer Nagarajan Sirās question in the form of a long meandering discourse.
China did that and still does that too. And I canāt understand complaints by the US and Russians here.
Zenoās answer: NEVER.š«
Also, what does āAheadā and āBehindā really mean?
Coming back to Greek Philosophy this time.
