The Effects Of Mutual Aboration Between China And India
For this assignment I chose to discuss the effects of a closer mutual collaboration between China and India, In the 21st century, India and China has emerged as the two visible powers in Asia and in the world with huge populations, growing economies and expanding markets. In common, both these countries are a continuity of the two oldest civilizations of the world, they are less composite than the communities of Europe or the Middle East. Indian civilization was put together mainly by ideas and influences native to the Indian Subcontinent and China exclusively from ideas and influences of China itself. Modern day India and China are both shaped by its ancient civilizations. For example : India ( Hinduism and its 3 tier society of village,

Chinese culture develops particularly from nhative Chinese efforts and resources : SO LOTS OF SELF CONFIDENCE
Lots of diversity in Indian : 13 major languages
Not as much diversity : 2 main cultures North and South China
Governed by various regional kingdoms. A single government for all of India existed very rarely ( ie 300 of 4500 years )
Often politically unified under a strong central government
Very Spiritual (Religious )culture. Many cultural features common to the entire subcontinent have come from its religion
Major component of culture Humanistic, worldly thoughts. Many standards, ideas about behavior etc from secular philosophy Confucius ideas and others elaborations on them
Priest ( Brahmins ) have high prestige
Educated people have high prestige. Gentry examination system
Relatively autonomous villages
Villages not autonomous
Fairly extensive range. India was the major cultural influence on all South East Asia
Limited range. China mostly just influences Japan and Korea plus a bit of influence in Vietnam ( though Chinese people migrate all over Asia …show more content…
Chinese invented paper, water mill, horse collar, wheel barrow printing , compass and gun powder weapons
In my opinion, the similarities and differences in both the cultures present a very large opportunity. Dialogue and mutual cooperation in the past has shown just how the Chinese culture has been influenced by India. Some of the salient things Chinese, such as the belief that good things will come to you if you do good things, or the Shaolin kung fu, or even the Monkey King, can trace their origins to India. This shows that the the chemistry of the people of the two countries are close to each other, without being similar to each other showing that behind such superficial differences, there is an underlying unity of soul. While the political and administrative structures are different even economically they are different, too, although both are developing countries and have gone through periods of planned economy.
India appears to have done far less in terms of exports and incoming foreign direct invest (FDI), the two variables key to China's success story,
A divided China-India equation makes the whole of Asia weak. A united India-China equation makes the entire continent
