As I see it, India is a functioning democracy with a strong commitment to capitalistic industry. Regulation might be too much&#x2F;too less in some areas but that will eventually improve. OTOH, China is very close to dictatorial, with the government controlling everything from the exchange rate to every company&#x27;s policies. For example, we have proper public debates in India about stuff like net neutrality, freedom of the press, and we routinely criticize the government and politicians. That is simply not possible in China.<p>I really do not understand how anybody with even a little understanding of the two countries can lump India and China together in the same political&#x2F;financial group.
