Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi visits China

Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi may not be welcome in the USA, but China is ready to roll out the red carpet for him as he gears up to visit the world's fastest growing economy next month.

Modi to visit China on November 8, according to sources. The visit has been cleared by the external affairs ministry. He is expected to make a pitch for greater Chinese investment in Gujarat and showcase his state as a hub for foreign investment. In particular, Modi is likely to discuss the prospects of Huawei, China's biggest telecom company which has a considerable presence in India, investing in Gujarat.

China has been impressed by the economic transformation of Gujarat. When China's vice minister Ai Ping visited the state last week, he lauded Gujaratis' contribution to business development in different countries, including China.

Narendra Modi to showcase Gujarat in China

Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi may not be welcome in the US, but China is ready to roll out the red carpet for him as he gears up to visit the world's fastest growing economy and Asian powerhouse next month.

Modi is to visit China November 8, reliable sources told IANS. The visit has been cleared by the external affairs ministry.

Modi is expected to make a pitch for greater Chinese investment in Gujarat and showcase his state as a hub for foreign investment. In particular, Modi is likely to discuss the prospects of Huawei, China's biggest telecom company which has a considerable presence in India, investing in Gujarat.

China has been impressed by the economic transformation of Gujarat in the last decade and the massive foreign investment it has attracted in different sectors. When China's Vice Minister Ai Ping visited Gujarat last week, he had lauded Gujaratis' contribution to business development in different countries, including China. He had also extended an invitation to Modi to visit China.

Modi is expected to seek Chinese assistance to develop a "Gautam Buddha circuit", that includes constructing a temple where Buddha's relics would be preserved, to attract tourists to the state.

Economic ties between India and China have been showing a steady upswing.

The two countries recently held their maiden strategic economic dialogue to exchange their experiences in macro-economic management and to address issues like the growing trade imbalance in favour of Beijing.

Bilateral trade is already touching $60 billion, with both sides confident of scaling it up to $100 billion.

Nothing new, he has visited China before. I've found a big poster of him at Tong Ji university in Shanghai during my last visit to China

^^^ Haha, let the Indian members here read that.

I believe the Economist once referred to Gujarat, as "India's Guangdong". That is the kind of economic model that the Chinese leaders love to see.

LOL, WTF was that name? It is known as Detroit of the east since 5 car manufacturers are manufacturing there. Indians would never follow any Chinese example since we believe in different society models. We're a democracy and a proud one. Please don't throw any Chinese names here. :)

Read it and weep. :lol:

Gujarat's economy: India's Guangdong | The Economist

The GDP of Guangdong province is almost $700 billion. How big is Gujarat's GDP? If anything, it should be us who are insulted.
 
i think that the only person the Chinese gov't should fear coming to leadership in India is Modi he has smarts and balls what he has done to Gujarat should happen throughout India urbanization along with modernization will make the road to 2050 clear and prosperous as by that year India will be the worlds largest economy

We were talking about models of development and you said it could be compared to the chinese place while I said it should be compared to Detroit. I did compare it to something better than the chinese place since GDP of US is $15 trillion, GDP of China is what $6 trillion; per capita GDP of US is $47K, that of China is $7.5k. I don't mean to belittle the Chinese place and nor are we in a position to. My only point is china is NOT India's model of development, rather it is US.

I do not agree with your post. there is nothing wrong in being compared to China and to your surprise, Indians will be better of if they follow the Chinese model for economic development. Please note that political outlook is a differnt matter altogether.
 
I share my thinking with Singaporean Former prime minister Lee Kwan Yew that Vietnam can be successful using East Asian model, or Chinese model, but India should not follow this so-called Chinese model. The Indian and the Chinese are totally different people. To be as success as the Chinese (or Taiwanese, singaporean etc.), other people has to share some belief, tradition, culture, and many things, even language with them. Indian are surely not.

India should build its own model of development, or follow Western model, which are far more close to them in many aspects.
 
Gujarat GDP : 80.1 bn
Guangdong GDP : 665 bn
In terms of land area, they are comparable.

Gujarat is light years behind Guangdong in terms of GDP(nominal or PPP). Nonetheless a good start.

An economic model of development has very little to do with tradition and culture or language. It has a lot to do with commitment, work culture and work ethics.

Funny how your Indian friend was so insulted by the comparison, even despite the numbers above.

Yours is an easy but not practical economic theory. i.e easy to be talked about, easy to explained, easy to be accepted, but very hard to be realized.
How can you explain the so-called East Asian economic model (authoritative or single party government, export-led growth, etc.) have been successful only in East Asian countries and although it has been around for hundred year since Japan, no other countries, even South East Asian can adopt it. In other countries, authoritative government and single-party, like that of Mr. Lee Kwan Yew, will easily lead to dictatorship and destruction of economy. Export-led in other countries may easily lead to totally dependent on foreign capital, technology and market, but not in the case of East Asian countries.
