China a manfucaturing powerhouse...India more entrepreneurial

China is a manufacturing powerhouse, but this can only get you so far. India is more entrepreneurial a trait which I think is more beneficial in the long run.

China = richer, India = messier, but still vibrant and potent

The Chinese will be clearly ahead barring an unforeseen catastrophe, because they are way ahead in infrastructure and organization. These are smart and hardworking folk. But the Indians are catching up a lot faster, and will be a strong force in economics by 2020.

Even today Indians are showing notably better entrepreneural skills and sophistication than Chinese in business and high-technology. They are more Westernized, and quite good competent. My own firm's experience with Indian and Chinese service providers has been positive. (Both groups were smart and hardworking sorts).

Some people bring out stats for relative IQ, I just wanted to say that India has over 40,000 gene pools due to a variety of complex reasons. The Chinese have the Han race gene pool for over 90%. So a direct comparison is impossible, even though there are fewer variances for Chinese.

Some India-based studies show these:

.....The mean intelligence quotient of the high risk group was 95.21 ± 6.2 and that of the control group was 101.38 ± 10.2 (p<0.05).

.....from that recorded among 50 noninbred controls of similar age and socioeconomic status (99.6 + or - 2.0).

AS CAN BE SEEN the range is 99-101 for children, etc. This also supports some data in UK showing a mean IQ of 97 for Indians. This is roughly in class with Chinese (mean IQ = 100), though the Chinese are probably a bit ahead due to cranium size.

These are NOT high-caste kids, many are from middle class or poor Muslims, who number in the millions. (The second study was for that...).

In 2010, there are estimates of 450,000 students graduating in engineering in India. Given the level of math and science, that implies an IQ closer to 110 at least.

In my own school, an IQ range of 120-136 was seen amongst my friends. So let us quell rumor- mongering, the usual Bell Curve does not apply for India due to the aforementioned racial complexity.
