China's growth is no miracle which no other nation can catch up with.
You mean "which no other nation can't catch up with" don't you?

I do think it's a miracle because in hindsight I never expected the CCP to adopt such aggressive pro-market economy reforms as the years went by.

You know, for all the crap that's written about China and its lack of human rights many people (particularly in the West) constantly overlook the fact that in the last two decades this economic growth has lifted HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of Chinese out of poverty. That is a stunning achievement. Now I’m not denying that the Chinese government is an authoritarian dictatorship (e.g. witness the forced relocation of millions of people in the recent years to make way for new infrastructure) but you’ve got to look at it more objectively.

Anyway, I do think India will catch up with China but not for a long time. China has a 13-year head-start as you correctly pointed out!

I think India has better economic policies in place & they’re more integrated with the West, but they lag badly compared with China in infrastructure development and long-term planning.

India will not catch up.

However, don't underestimate the US.

One down and another to go!

Instead of gloating, watch the tarot cards.

What do you mean? software in India?
We've got our own Generic Processor Loongson, now is Loongson 3, very good CPU(although slower than the Intel's and AMD's).Now wen can use our own CPU and develp softwares on this.
What did you get for your softwares, works harder for USA or EU?
Do you use your own processor in your militrary systems or in your important goverment departments?
From hardware to software,we can produce anything, altough far behind USA,but better than India of course.
Software mean nothing ,I can write program although I am working in the stock market. Sometimes when I have spare time , I'd like to write small games and play.Such as my Tetris............

We make around 40 billion or so a year that's it...nothing much, not comparable to what China earns from software exports or hardware piracy!

We are not short of money, we get more money in a month than you in a year.
What do we get?
Safety,that's what we want.
Hey, Information security, do you have? Maybe you are very safe by using other's chips and processers.
Can your companies bring you safety by produce your own CPU and OS?
Produce from chips ,processer,to OS, business software, programing language and so on,can you?
AMD transfromed its' X86 tech to China last year , and we produced Loongson in 2002, Loongsons are produced millons last year and more this year. 45 nano and multi core are adopted ,now we can use them in goverment,militrary departments.
China also develop Beidou Satellite navigation system, use our own chips,softwares ,can you get a smiliar one ?
Don't be proud of your edu,tech ,science and so on , what do you produce so for as now? Tanks,Ajoin ? Aircrafts,LCA? Nuclear submarine?

you threaten yourselves.
people like you in India believe India has great power and you are so proud, refuse to negoicate with anyone even you did wrong, you guys put India into dangerous.
but in fact , you did nothing to India , when India started war with others , will you join the army?
China never want to get anything from India , but we can't give our land to you either , I personaly don't hate India .
you learn sth bad from the Britsh.

I know that.
A war game need so many guys working together ,engines ,sounds, 3D,C++,Lua,writers,artists ......and so on. sometimes a bug can't be found ,you should try to find it in many classes and files , a real headache.
I learned programming for 4 years, wrote websites, DBMS ,MIS,but when I left my school , I couldn't find a job on good salary because so many guys sold themselves in lower prices. I never expected working in stock market and be a lecturer but now I am .
If you are woring in a IT company and writting programmes , you are envied.
