The next China? India is missing its real comparative edge by not emphasizing low-skilled labour exports

下一个中国吗？ 由于不重视低技能劳动力的出口，印度正失去真正的比较优势

By Andy Mukherjee

India’s Covid-19 economic gloom turned into despair this week, on news that its per capita gross domestic product may be lower for 2020 than in neighboring Bangladesh.

本周，有消息称印度2020年的人均国内生产总值(gdp)可能低于邻国孟加拉国，疫情造成的经济阴霾使得人们变得绝望。

“Any emerging economy doing well is good news,” Kaushik Basu, a former World Bank chief economist, tweeted after the International Monetary Fund updated its World Economic Outlook. “But it's shocking that India, which had a lead of 25% five years ago, is now trailing.”

在国际货币基金组织更新《世界经济展望》报告后，世界银行前首席经济学家考希克•巴苏在twitter上写道，任何新兴经济体表现良好都是好消息。但令人震惊的是，五年前领先25%的印度现在却落后了

以下是印度经济时报读者的评论：

GDP Per Capita of many countries like South Korea, Indonesia,Iraq, Algeria, Angola etc etc. is far better than India's. Doesn't mean India is not the 5th largest economy in the world. It still is and will surpass Germany by 2022-23

韩国、印尼、伊拉克、阿尔及利亚、安哥拉等许多国家的人均国内生产总值都比我们印度高，然而这并不能否定印度是世界第五大经济体的事实，我们仍然会在2022年超过德国的

Looter Khangress
If India can learn from Bangladesh, there would be no issues. Peace, Peace Peace.

印度要是懂得向孟加拉国学习，就不会出现那么多问题了。

Kishore Thampy

It would be a cata-phic mistake for India to go the China route and anyway it ild mean the India will never catch up. The way to develop is to pour huge resources into agriculture to make India the food basket of the world. With more hectares of land under production than any other country in the world Indian farmers can become wealthy by feeding the world just as American farmers have done so. Let the other countries do the cheap factory work.

印度要是走中国路线，印度将永远赶不上中国。

我们可以这样做，即向农业投入庞大资源，把我们国家打造成世界的菜篮子。

我们可耕种用地比其他国家都多，只要让全世界人民能吃饱饭，印度农民就能富裕起来，美国农民就是这样富起来的。

至于去工厂打工，还是让其他国家去做吧

Pankaj Verma

Bangladesh has a much smaller than India and most low income group Bangladeshis enter to try to enter India Illegally or legally so it no wonder that the ones who remain will have a higher per capita GDP than India.

孟加拉国的经济规模比印度小得多，大多数孟加拉人的低收入群体非法或合法地进入印度，那些留在自己国内的孟加拉人的人均GDP比印度更高也就不足为奇了

Shrinivasa Kamath

We should enlist best practices of different countries including our neighbors. Honest implementation can work wonders.

我们应该借鉴包括邻国在内的其他国家的最佳做法。只有这样，我们才可以创造奇迹

Manchester United

India should focus on being next Bangladesh. India can never become next China

印度应该努力成为下一个孟加拉国！

想成为下一个中国？做梦吧！永远不可能

Sridhar Raghunatha

 in a way ours cannot be to that fast for implementation due to heterogeneous political system. The gap in our economies is so big that it's a Herculean task for any Government to catch with China's. Added to this woe is slump due to Covid. This is a bad phase for all major economies of the world and so is for ours too.

在某种程度上，受我们印度的体 制的拖累，我们的执行不可能有中国这么快。我们两国经济的差距如此之大，印度要赶上中国是一项艰巨的任务。雪上加霜的是疫情导致的经济衰退。对世界上所有主要经济体来说，现在都是困难时期，对我们自己来说也是如此

Damodar Biswal

Indian economy is in doldrums so also the economy of many countries due to COVID.However,I am optimistic that our economy will beat the expectation of the opposition in 2022.

疫情导致印度经济陷入低迷，许多国家的经济也没能幸免。然而，我还是乐观地认为，我们的经济将在2022年超过预期

Don't compare India with Bangladesh. There are only 2 political parties, single religion, a single language, no need to spend much on Defense, Bangladesh implemented many reforms.

不要拿印度和孟加拉国作比较。孟加拉国只有两个政党，单一宗教，单一语言，不需要在国防上投入太多，实施了大量改革。

Deviprasad Nayak
Both India and Bangladesh are most backward countries in Asia due to colonial education system based on foreign language.India and bangladesh have per capita income about 1800$ which is more than 40,000 $ in developed countries where education is based on native languages

印度和孟加拉国都是亚洲最落后的国家，遗留下来的殖民教育体制是以外语为基础的。

印度和孟加拉国的人均收入约为1800美元，在以母语为教学媒介的发达国家，人均GDP超过4万美元

Lets donate author's own state to Bangladesh.That will lift India's GDP per capita to a great extent.

作者是哪个邦的啊，把你们邦划给孟加拉国。这样印度人均GDP就能大幅提高

孟加拉国怎么做的，我不知道。不过我们显然没有做好

Feku, aka Surrender Modi, has destroyed our economy. Vietnam and Bangladesh were much poorer than India before Feku came to office. But now, GDP per capita of Vietnam is twice than that of India. We cannot even compete with Laos in terms of GDP per capita

莫迪毁了我们的经济。莫迪执政之前，越南和孟加拉国比印度穷得多。现在，越南的人均GDP是印度的两倍。比人均GDP的话，我们甚至不如老挝。
