In recent times, India’s attitude towards confrontation in the border areas has been significantly softened. The logistics collapse and severe cold conditions forced the Indian military to start preparing for withdrawal. However, with such a simple withdrawal, how can India maintain its "decent" as a "superpower". Recently, because of the release of a set of statistical data, some Indian media have begun their own "skilled operations."
According to the "Global Times" quoted a report from "The Times of India" on November 13th, because of the continuing tension on the border between China and India, India is concerned about the possible future direction of both sides. However, according to statistics, India is indeed weaker than China in military power, but in the future, India’s military power will exceed China. The
article believes that China’s defense expenditure in 2019 is close to 1.2 trillion yuan, or about 177.6 billion US dollars, four times that of India. In a short time, India wants to catch up with China, but the gap is still very obvious. However, China's defense expenditure has been maintained at a relatively low level, and the annual growth rate is small, while India's relatively large. Therefore, in the future, with economic development, India will undoubtedly exceed China's investment in military power. The argument of
is a bit serious. On the surface, according to the Indian media, India’s defense began to account for a relatively high proportion of GDP, with a normal rate of 9.2% from 2015 to 2019. From 2015 to 2019, China's defense spending has been growing at 4.3%. So in the long run, China may lag behind India. But this view seriously ignores a total issue. China’s “4.3%” of over US$170 billion and India’s “9.2%” of less than US$50 billion are completely different digital concepts.
Not to mention the "cliff-jumping" negative growth of the Indian economy this year. The money slaughtered by the major arms dealers is not a small figure. What's more terrible is that once the money is spent, how much is the value of the returned item is a big problem. Not to mention too far, just recently, India’s "cold-proof clothing" for soldiers on the front line of the plateau is second-hand by Yankees. Later, the problem of cutting corners in front-line military construction was exposed. The barracks built this summer were crooked within half a year. A little further away, there is the "Rafale" that was blown into the sky by the Indians. I won't talk about the sky-high price. One of the first batch of fighters was a second-hand fighter. The wing and tail were painted off, and the tail sensors and indicator lights were not installed. In this way, there are still Indian "bricks" who stand up to wash the ground. No matter how good the data on this paper is, even a little stabbing may drown people. What is interesting about
is that the Indian media vigorously advocated that "Indian military power will surpass China in the future," and there is an additional point of view. The Indian media claimed that India’s current serviceable population is 494.3 million, while China’s is 621.1 million. On the surface, China is indeed dominant, but India’s annual new military population has reached 23.1 million, while China is only 19.6 million. In other words, aging is a problem that China needs to face. However, India can become the country with the largest labor force in the world in the next ten years.
But is that true? According to the statistics of UNESCO, as of 2015, the illiteracy rate of more than 1 billion people in my country has dropped from over 80% in the early days of the founding of the People’s Republic to 3.6%. As for India, in 2015, the illiteracy rate in India was 28.9%, and the half-literacy rate was almost 50%. The irony is that for the sake of saving face, New Delhi has adopted "lowering standards" to reduce the illiteracy rate. As long as you can write your own name, you are not considered illiterate. This 28.9% of the moisture has gone to the sea. So even if India’s annual new military service population is 4 million more than China’s, its social system determines that India’s grassroots soldiers are basically from the bottom of society, which means that its illiteracy rate will occupy an absolute proportion. In modern warfare, this is undoubtedly extremely deadly. If you can’t understand tactical instructions, you can’t operate weapons and equipment, and you can’t even understand a manual, how can such a soldier be effective?
It can be said that it is ridiculous that Indian media use only paper data such as population to infer that the military will surpass China in the future. (Listening to the wind blowing lotus)
