Also the US was always ahead of India

They never came close

I think you mean the UK

GDP doesn't fluctuate by that much

Well India is transitioning from a primary to a secondary economy. There will naturally be teething troubles

And the major consumer countries would most likely show signs of a recession first.

China outstrips India in terms of primary economy.

We’re in a leftypol group for god sake so you should know best. When costs rises companies save costs. If that means moving they’ll do it. When costs rise in China they will naturally move to India. It’s the second biggest country in Asia

For now. China has had a bit of a head start on India

India has had internal religious troubles and war with Pakistan

>When costs rise in China they will naturally move to India.


That's not what companies are there for. Labour costs in China have almost doubled in the last 10 years, yet companies still have yet to relocate -- why's that? It's because of the pure amount of qualified Chinese workers available.

For a company like Apple? They won't relocate for the foreseeable future. For companies like Nike? They have mostly migrated to South-East Asia, to countries like Thailand and Vietnam.

@DOg i would like to take the time to say it’s nice to talk to someone in a balanced and sensible manner. Thank you for this conversation. And about your point the workers will move too and there is a tipping point

And I’m talking in the next 10-30 year

Anything is possible in 30 years.

As a Pakistani what’s your opinion on two things. One Pakistan’s new president?

@DOg and two cricket

Largely OK. But Martial rule should be imposed upon Sindh.

and cricket? Don't really watch it

I'm not opposed to governor rule for Sindh as an alternative.

Always sort of liked the sport. And for Pakistan I think they should take some power away from the Islamic leadership and give it too the Pakistani government. Radical Islam is repulsive to tourists and can destabilise a country like in the west of Pakistan

Islamic radicalism has never been too much of a problem, the army always maintained a vigilant eye on the situation. The problem is Ethnic nationalism instigated by a few select individuals, who themselves are nefariously backed by a few foreign influences.

That’s good it’s just credit where credit is due. Pakistan has beautiful landscapes and a good history. Things like perhaps raining in faith school. Perhaps banning the Burka lime Morocco and things like that

mehh, a game is being played out. These things can be attended to later.

Pakistan definitely needs rapid evolution of powers to Islamabad. You also needs to rain in the local warlords on the Afghanistan border

Pakistan maintains control over the Taliban. The warlords are backed by Iran and Tajikistan.

The Taliban are better than the warlords, objectively. Afghan culture, for the main part, is shit. I prefer Islamists to Afghan nationalists.

With the Taliban, women are allowed some freedoms. Men don't fuck children. Women are allowed some education .

Well it’s sort of a rock and a hard place. You sort of need to do what the Ulster police force did after the good Friday agreement. The decade long goal for Pakistan should to have all militias disbanded or absorbed into the Pakistani state

With the warlords, none of that is given. Afghan culture is more repressive.

You should start deporting some Afghans back

Like the population exchange between Greece and turkey in 1920

they are gradually being deported, 1.2 million still remain.

That must be sped up. Also Pakistan should semi incorporate the Taliban. Like a NKVD

As the phrase goes “ Inside the tent pissing out rather than outside the tent pissing in”

The Taliban will be eventually disintegrated, they won't play a secret police function. That should fall under the ISI, which should be bifurcated into two branches; one with an intelligence function and the other which should act as the means to fulfil that function, a secret police if you will.

Probably for the best. Also Pakistan should eventually try and settle the issues with India. Nuclear war on the Indian subcontinent scares me far more than on the Korean Peninsula
