The shocking difference between Indian & Chinese infrastructure...

Whether India will be the next China is debatable or unforeseeable BUT one thing is certain ..US will be the next India in the near future...

VLoggers gotta stop comparing India and China lol. It's a super insult to China. The only thing they have in common is the similar population size. THAT'S IT FOLKS!

I still remembered that The Economist magazine talking sarcastically about the Nest after the Beijing Olympics, saying that it was an extravagant and costly showpiece for the Chinese government and that it would be completely useless after the Game. I worried after reading it - little did I know back then that The Economist is simply an attack dog for the Western imperialism. Its lies about China only intensified in recent years and I am in complete disbelief and disgust at its journalistic dishonesty.

I been to the Beijing Olympic Stadium, the bird nest. Inside it was being revamped to hold a concert. A magnificent stadium and it was all inspiring to be there.

You can travel alone in china. Nobody will bother you.
In india its essential you have an indian host or guide. There are touts everywhere and can be aggressive.

The moment you step into their respective airports and go to immigration and customs there is absolutely no comparision.

If you want something done, ask China.
If you want something said, ask India.

I live in a former Olympic city in North America, it took taxpayers 30 years to pay off just one $1 billion stadium. Today they are asking for another $1 billion just to replace the roof ! ...LoL

The total costs in Chinese much more efficient and the general population got to enjoy this spectecular facility.

India is good at saying, and China is good at doing.

Wow! I chose China. Thanks Harvey for showing us the truth.

The following article is written by Ismail Bashmori, he is an Egyptian China watcher.
The truth is that China is the greatest country on the face of the earth. It makes all other countries look insignificant and contemptible. It is the most brilliant, most industrious, most ambitious, most educated, meritocratic and technocratic, most modern, sophisticated, and civilised, and best-governed by far. .
It is the first non-white, non-Western country to reach this status since the 1600s. The determination of this country is indescribable. Supernatural. There is no force that can stop it from accomplishing anything it wants to do.
It doesn’t matter who we are. Egyptians, Syrians, Pakistanis, Indians, Africans, even Americans. Next to the Chinese, we are pathetic. We can’t do what they do. We would have a mountain, an Everest of changes to make, and we would whine and bicker and fail at every one of them. China’s story since the 1980s has been one of an almost divine metamorphosis.
Next to China the entire Western world from Alaska to New Zealand has stagnated. Next to China the entire developing world from Brazil to Madagascar has progressed only at a crawl.
China is the mother of all gargantuan bullet trains. Every day it manages to create something new and astonishing. And unlike the United States, unlike the British Empire, unlike the French, Dutch, Germans, Spanish, Portuguese or any other Western nation that had its turn at being a superpower in the past four centuries, China doesn’t need to run anybody over or take something from somebody else, to rise majestically.
China is also standing up to the West all by herself. The West can’t believe their four-hundred-year-old global supremacy is being challenged. They hoped that the more China developed, the more it would submit to their influence, interests, and leadership. That didn’t happen. So now they will do anything possible, short of a nuclear war, to make China end.
Their goal is to destroy this country. That’s why, although the United States has killed several million people and turned several regions of the earth into hellscapes.
China is the worst fear of our planet’s Western masters. They want you to despise and dread a country that’s done nothing to you, that hasn’t invaded anyone, bombed or sanctioned anyone, that hasn’t overthrown any foreign government, or used its military on anything since 1979.
China is the only major country in the nonwhite developing world, to stand up to the West. To look it in the eye when challenged or threatened.
The Global South are simply Western puppets who submitted long ago. Even the most powerful ones. Saudi Arabia, Brazil, India.
The 1500s-1000s BC were Egypt’s time. Antiquity belonged to the Greeks and Romans. The 1700s belonged to France, and the 1800s to Britain. From 1945 to the present, the world has been under American overlordship. And they call it the Pax Americana but there isn’t much Pax in it.
There’s plenty of Pax if you’re in Europe or Australia. But the Middle East? Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Iran and Yemen in the past 20 years. Latin America? They’ve destroyed that part of the world beyond any hope of recovery. Africa? It’s only been spared because of disinterest. The US sees Africa as nothing. The whole West does.
But in the twenty-first century, we are witnessing the rise of China. We are decades away from China becoming the greatest power on earth. This will be China’s time, and there’s nothing anyone can do about it. Attack China all you want, curse her and monger rumours and hysteria - but the truth is that none of your accusations are backed up by evidence. The Western press is under the thumb of Western governments that want to stay on top of the world for eternity. And the truth is that China is not affected by the noise and maneuvers of her enemies.
For her first thirty years, from 1949 to 1979, China was basically blockaded and isolated economically and politically by the West. It didn’t even have a seat in the UN General Assembly. And it was dirt-poor in those days, barely a speck of the global economy, a tiny fraction of Japan’s or Germany’s GDP - not even able to prevent famine. And it still didn’t submit to pressure or take any orders. Why on earth would it do that now?
China will be the next global power. There’s nothing that can be done about that. The first stage is that its economy only needs to grow at 4.7 percent per year to become the world’s largest by 2035. That means the usual, historical bare-minimum of 6 percent is already overkill. The US can build as many bases as it wants, slap as many sanctions as it wants, recognise whatever bogus genocides it wants. That’s what it’s been doing all along. Has any of it made a difference? China can adapt to any situation. It took China a mere ten years to go from being barred by the US Congress from participating in the “International” Space Station, to building its own Space Station from zero.

The 2010 Commonwealth Games in India was the Indian Government's attempt to show the IOC that India could host a future Olympic Games, but instead became a headache when a walk bridge collapsed just 4 days prior to the games opening and African athletes complaining that their accommodations were dirty in the Athlete's Village along with malaria infested mosquitoes flying around everywhere.

India to compare with China???? They are not even in the same category to compare with China.

I have visited these places a couple of years after the Games and must admit China do look after them and let the public enjoy the venues. Some of the infrastructure were modified/re-purposed for the recent winter Olympic.

China always thinks ahead 20 years into the future. A beautiful building like that is precious and it is not a surprise that China has planned ahead what to do with the building. India on the other hand has proven that they don’t think ahead just like the usa never has a long term plan. Building a massive over budget building and leaving it to rot is a shame to nature and human intelligence itself.

I just have an idea for the Bird's Nest. The management office of the venue should show the 2008 Olympics Opening documentary at the Bird's Nest, with a scaled down live performance of the drums and other dance pieces. I bet that would be a show with high ticket demands, especially for out of town visitors.

I'd always choose the China way - efficient, cost effective, and on time 😄👏

“We said it, we do it!” This is Chinese culture! Our Singapore Govt also doing the same! Promise is always a promise!

Comparing chalk and cheese! 😂😂😂

Nice comparison. China is just on a different level of success.

IOC should just hold the games there every 12 years. So seamless for China. And don’t talk about India, the swimmers had some stomach infection after swimming in the pool during the commonwealth games. And their rooms? Poop inside.

One thing India is better than China by at least 70 years is Indians ability to comments.

Chinese People are wise! ...and responsible.

Sydney's 2000 Olympic park facilities still in use... stadium use for football/rugby matches, indoor stadium for concerts and sporting events, swimming pool now a community aquatic centre etc and quite a few pavilions and arenas are used for annual Royal Easter Show just opened now for next weeks.... apartment towers, hotels and corporate campuses are built around there so it's now a vibrant suburb

One is SuperPower the other is SewerPower

Tobe honest can't really using China to compare India.
There's noway at all.
The only that can figure out India can compare with their US

The “bird nest” is so beautiful. I am so pleased it’s been preserved and repurposed for the people. It’s so short-sighted and wasteful for UK and India to let expensive venues go to ruins

I went there. Loved it.

2008 olympic ceremony was mindblowing. The dragon shows her grace to the world. And India, pfffttt

Not only that, I'm pretty sure they reused some of the 2008 facilities for the 2022 Olympics, thus saving even more money.

The biggest difference between the two is actually not infrastructure... it's much deeper than that.

I think it's more fair to compare India with Brazil maybe? 🤔

Never traveling to india even if you paid me. China is always a yes for me

The Four Civilisations, India is a joke to me.

How to compare CHINA😊 with Bharat prosperous slums 😮

Do a comparison of USA with India.
Do a comparison of UK with India.

Well comparing China and India is like comparing a well maintained and beautiful park with an animal farm 😂😂😂😂😂😂

No government (except Singapore) generally has the brilliant minds of the Chinese government and people.

Where the 6 billion go in London?

AMAZING CHINA.....

But, but, but, UK and India have democracy!

Where will the 2027 World Athletics Championship be held?
Yes, in that wonderful Bird’s Nest Stadium! :D

Chinese takes huge pride of maintaining these facilities partly due to their historic significance. After all, it was the first IOC held in China after 100 years of humiliation.

Actually, India can beat China. It just has to do one thing.
Talk less and do more.
But it is a humongous challenge.
China is so good at work is because they dont talk but work doubly hard. Got it?

This is a wonderful comparison reporting. Thank you Harvey, and do keep up the good work

Asian style is like, Make every penny worth it! We are not here to spend money, we are here to make profits!🤣

America, Indigenization.India, apotheosis.

U cannot compare china and India in any angle ...compare even Singapore, Malaysian, Indonesia has better infrastructure compare to India

The Beijing bird nest was built for the olympics & of course to show case China's development till then. Now the the bird nest is for all who visit to awe at its magnificent engineering. Lets not comment about India.

Beijing’s Stadium was used for the Asian Games & Olympic Games is well worth the investment. Together with the Cube, the stadium’s designs was so innovative that it has became an Icon for Beijing, China.

Thank you for this eye opener.. Wow! I thought this olympic park is part of history and sure I must see it when I visit Beijing.

Indian know that much better things are waiting for them in heaven.

India can not complain because they choose the wrong political style and system. Intil they switch to China's political system, they will forever remain the same.😅

India and China peace，develop，all better to better

Thanks Harvey.. appreciation is sweet ❤💋❤💋

@ 6:59 , “ Which government you rather have ( China, Britain, or India) ? “ Depends. If you’re member of the Ruling Class, India is best , followed by Britain. If you’re a commoner, then China.

👍👍👍👍👍👍

China built to last, India talking to last.

It looks prety cold inside ,do they heat the swimming pool?

very effective comparison!

Peoples who keep posting up comparing India Versus China are ignorant or stupid as they never accept the fact of China 5X in GDP and 5 X their people earning differnces.
Please accept the reality and do not make fool of all indians and India. Latest report from IMF on China contribution to the world economy.According to the IMF’s World Economic Outlook (WEO) report in October, global economic output is forecast to expand by 3% this year, to which China is expected to contribute 0.9 percentage point, Barnett said.
He made the remarks at a launch of the publication in Beijing last Friday. The event was organised by the IMF Resident Representative Office in China and the International Monetary Institute at the Renmin University of China.
By comparison, the United States is forecast to contribute 0.3 percentage point while India’s contribution might be 0.5 percentage point, Barnett told China Daily on the sidelines of the event.
On 2024, China is forecast to contribute 0.8 percentage point of the 2.9% global growth, just under one-third and still higher than 0.2 percentage point of the United States and 0.5 percentage point of India, he said.
The WEO, published lastTuesday, has lowered the 2023 economic growth forecast for China to 5% from 5.2%, citing the pressures brought by the weakness in the real estate sector
India cannot even build enough toilet as a human basic right for his people as the link provide here {what a shame} #opendefecation.Muslims make up 15% of India’s population, but India’s largest minority is facing rising violence. With lynchings happening just two hours away from Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s residence, a police shooting on a train targeting Muslim residents and Muslim students being attacked in school, many Indian Muslims are wondering if they are safe in their homeland.
India hosted multiple world leaders for the G20 in 2023. But there is a stark difference between the India projected to the outside world and the reality on the ground. Government leaders like Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath have been calling for India to be a Hindu nation. The rise of Hindu nationalism and anti-Muslim sentiment is now mainstream, especially in the movies coming out of Bollywood - India's Hindi-language movie industry.

Keerthi a young National award winner is trying to educate people,she says developing India is not for the people,she has shown where common people are not allowed a farmer was not allowed in a subway,people not belonging to a level of class were not allowed in a mall there are places where you need to be dressed properly to be allowed entry,it takes time for people to realize whatever is being created is not for everyone

*Thank you very much, Harvey. We love your channel. Merci !!!*

I have been to both countries and it's not fair to compare India and China. Difference is day and night.
I really love India, it's a beautiful country.

India is trying let it continue we wish her success

What is the closest subway station to the Olympic Park?

Thank you for your sharing🙏🙂🙏

This is great!

Thank you for telling the truth.

Thanks for sharing and surfacing the truth. 👏👍

@0:20, Many Olympic host countries, including USA, build sport-dedicated structures with very short service life - as cheap as possible and as fast as possible. Consequently, these sport facilities do not survive the test of time. The Olympic sport structures in USA that escaped the demolition derby are either refurbished antiquated ones having historical value or annexed by a needy public institution with the necessary resources. Most structures were in such poor condition after several years of wear-and-tear , and the extraordinary maintenance cost to remedy the marginal or questionable construction that the economic equation justify their demolition. USA has hosted the most Olympic events. Ironically, only very few Olympic structures survived. The local municipality could only salvage a few sport structures due to quality construction issues. In contrast, China has built Olympic facilities that endures the test of time; many are still in use consistent with in their primary sport mission. The ‘Bird Nest’, the ‘Water Cube’, and many others are still faithfully serving their sport missions.

You can not compare one party country with other 2 country with opposition...India and usa faces hurdles in every infrastructure project due to opposition... In india any party in power only for 5 years...in 5 years you can build a world class projects... In china one party rule... You can build big projects without any opposition.

Great video

A truthful report live on the spot

The world is withnessing a 5000 years old civilization growth from nothing to the 2nd most powerful nation in just 40 years , no civilization comes near . But surprisingly , the chinese government and people was exceptionally humble , high in moral with good ethics .. ❤

1) London olympic was the first time people having to pay to see the 5ring.
2 “Bird’s nest” was kinda weird look and name for a building, for me.
And then I went there. I saw thousands of bird’s nests all over the locale. There must have one nest every two or three trees.
Now I know.

That's a super cool video. I want see next hurry

I was at the park in 2017 and was impressed with they had done after the Olympics. Lots of citizens were walking, running, exercising, singing, dancing and enjoying the venue. Glad to see the municipal government has kept up the park for the enjoyment of its citizens. In a way, this park reminds me of Central Park in NYC.

There’s a very good reason India will and can never host any Olympic.

Winston Churchill: funny heart sweet tongue

I think you have a reason to appreciate your town and your government because you live in dictatorship county now India is also changed and developing like modern countries you guys can never be like us.

Actually would be compare with US is much closer that's a honest say

Everywhere the cost of maintaining is enormous,China even does that in India everything is being created for a political reason,even North Korea is developing fast very soon the Americans will have to find a reason for their development

India is better since cows used the road in india, Indians have flying rickshaws

In comments , and talks india wins china .

@Harvey in Ch
Hey DO NOT bring china DOWN to Dung endia level. Compare endia to somalia

Dictatorship vs democracy

Please don’t compare everything from China with India

I chose China ❤chaina is very clean and working in very fast ❤❤

We Chinese are indeed proud of our long history. In thousands of years of history, our country has become a great country several times, and our ancestors have set an example for us, so we do not feel that our achievements is satisfying. We will not regard India as an opponent. In fact, our only opponent is our former self. Of course, the advanced technology, science, art and culture of the United States and Western Europe are also examples for us to learn from. Westerners may think that China poses a threat similar to that of the Soviet Union or Nazi Germany, but in fact we are not particularly interested in pursuing military hegemony. What we hope to build is a country that is advanced in science, technology, economy, culture and art. The military power only provides a safe external environment for us to develop these. Of course, I am just a student and my opinions are limited, just forgive me.

The fact is that after any big sporting event is over, such infrastructure is hardly of any use.It actually becomes a waste.On the contrary a lot of money and effort is required to maintain these venues.

If India hosts the Olympics one day, it will be a miracle for India. Unfortunately, it is still unknown whether it will be held. I don’t know how long it will take to see it, 20 years? 30 years?

The same waste happened in Rio. Now they're having talks about spending 4billion for a new stadium in Brisbane, after the BS that the 2032 would be a different, sustainable Olympics. I really hope they don't go trough with it.

Let india be india as always ..please dont compare

❤

4:45 What the hell ? 😳

While walking along the streets in India you need to be careful as you will step on human faeces

As NEITHER Chinese nor Indian, let alone Blacks/Whites, i think China is more developed.
It will be fair if you compared India with Indonesia, Brazil, or Mexico. It's fair too, if you compared China vs China, e.g. Guangdong vs Shandong, Xizang vs Xinjiang.

Anything about China, tiny Singapore wants to ride Piggyback on China success 😂😂😂 in the comments
