"The future belongs to India, not China," a debate at the Royal Geographical Society, 12 May 2009.
All bets are now on China as the nation that will soon rival the USA as the world's other superpower. But hasn't anyone been looking across the Himalayas? India, a democracy of over a billion people, has a rate of growth almost as impressive as China's, a burgeoning middle class, a highly skilled work force and an abundance of raw materials. More important still, it operates under the rule of law not the rule of the politburo. Could it be that India ends up the dominant power of the eastern hemisphere?
Speakers for the motion: Gurcharan Das, Mark Tully and Deepak Lal
Speakers against the motion: Danny Quah, Sir David Tang KBE
The event will be chaired by Edward Lucas.
Time: May 12, 2009 18:00
Place: Royal Geographical Society

Once again, another western pointless debate about china, as many other so-call experts who know nothing about the core of chinese culture, predicted before china would be suffered big failure. Stop nonsense if you have time, do something for your country, not just criticising.

The democracy in India is always spoken about like its thier greatest strength, but does it even work? Is there no corruption in a country? India is a country still run by the caste system, a system that is almost medieval. Only because we look at China's politcal system, through western eyes do we doom it to fail. India has as many reasons to fail. How many of its skilled workforce are children working in sweatshops?
