Is "Made in India" better than Made in China? Foreign media: India's four major disadvantages are difficult to replace China
An India netizen asked the question on Quora, the largest Q&A website abroad: "Is Made in India better than Made in China?" "It seems that India has not only not given up its dream of being the first, but even wants to compete with China in manufacturing."
When it comes to "Made in China", it will be reminiscent of China's strength in manufacturing today, and it was learned at the latest press conference held by the State Council Information Office that last year alone, the mainland's manufacturing industry has accounted for 26.2% of GDP and 30% of the world's total.
According to the understanding, China has formed a unique advantage of a multi-variety system, which has also made China the first in the world for 14 consecutive years, according to India's [Economic Times] website, questioning India's desire to become one of the largest economies and a big country.

India officials also said that China has become a global manufacturing center has been in a leading position, and China's GDP is no exaggeration to say that it is six times that of India, such an economic scale is second only to United States, from such data, it completely sets off the gap between China and India.
To say that India is also self-aware, the local Indian media has also reported that although India's position in the global supply chain has shown a gradual upward trend, but therefore want to replace China is also nonsense, for the gap between the manufacturing industry of the two countries, a netizen named Sumetra · Hazra gave a statement:
Made in China means it's easy to think it's a Chinese product. But "Made in India" is nothing more than a psychological game, and many Chinese companies have set up their own companies in India to sell their products. They all collect all the raw materials from China. So I think you can understand.
There is no doubt about China's manufacturing capabilities. The workers there are far better than in India. The tracks built by the Chinese for magnetic rail trains are much better in Germany than the original. Many of the goods produced in China are far better than the original. Although the craftsmanship in Japan is good, the quality and cost are not high.
There is no doubt that from the answers of netizens, it is not difficult to find the manufacturing gap between China and India, China's manufacturing industry not only has a huge market in the world, and every country can be seen everywhere from the "Made in China" products, and the quality of Made in China has always been to the attraction of high quality and low price.
Not only can more exquisite items be created with higher technology, but also will not bring economic burden to consumers, which also attracts more market resources for China.
India and China have the same advantage is the number of people, at least in the development of manufacturing can release the demographic dividend, India has a market with a majority of young people, but can not give full play to the advantages, the main reason is that India's employment situation is poor.
A large number of people are engaged in agricultural jobs, and the economic structure and population cannot be matched, which also leads to a high unemployment rate and a low level in India, and India's manufacturing industry is weak, the mining capacity for some products is insufficient, and the long-term deficit in trade also increases foreign exchange pressure.
The current situation facing India is as this netizen said:
There is not much difference between products made in India and China. I think Chinese products are better than India's. With a small workforce in India, India needs to have a proper plan in place to catch up with China. Made in all China along with India lags behind. We got better Chinese products in Canada and United States than India products.
It can be seen that India not only has a shortage in manufacturing, but also in terms of product quality, India has the largest number of illiterate people in the world, lack of education, work is also restricted, even if there are workers, it is difficult to guarantee quality.
Second, even if India's domestic infrastructure, innovation capacity and environment are the reasons that hinder the progress of the manufacturing industry, India can be said to be unsatisfactory in terms of innovation, not only ranking low in the world, but also not having a complete innovation system.
While every country is independently developing science and technology or military equipment, India can only strengthen its own national strength by purchasing weapons from other countries, which shows that India's innovation capability is very average.
India's policy environment is also a major difficulty for India, frequent policy changes are in India has been in the middle and lower reaches of the stage in business, reducing unnecessary political intervention, is the key to India's recovery, as the following netizen said:
Made in China is much better than made in India because I have more experience in product testing than the India government in deceiving the public.
95% of the electronics are made in China with the label "Made in India" because it is impossible for India to manufacture all the electronic components that are imported to India, and the inferior products they make here make people live here in cheap quality.
With the current manufacturing capacity of India, it can be said that it is difficult to surpass China, from the innate advantages that India has, not only has a huge working population, but also has rich raw materials and ores, which are considered fertile soil in the world, but even with such rich resources, it still cannot organize India to fight poorly.
In the early days when the United Kingdom withdrew from India, many workers chose to return to agricultural production and decisively abandoned factory development, until today, more than sixty percent of India people choose agricultural development, and over time, the process of industrialization is directly abandoned and falls into a vicious circle.
India also wants to develop by imitating China's rising path at this time, but each country's policies cannot be appropriately applied to other countries, and what suits China may not necessarily be imitated by India, even if India wants to copy China's experience, it cannot be smooth sailing.
Once I went to the mall and bought a pair of shoes, I found out that it became "Made in Indiana", but that didn't bother me, I wore those shoes for two years and felt a little uncomfortable As labor costs in China become more expensive, many foreign brands want to relocate their factories to other "developing countries".
So I can't tell you the difference between them, because for me it's all the same. What I can tell you is that "Made in China" will become more incomprehensible in the future and more expensive in the future.
This shows the gap between China and India, whether India wants to follow China's example or not, it is doomed that this road is not smooth, and only by learning from existing experience and improving it can the country's advantages be brought into greater play.
