I was in shenzen in 1995, and it looked even worse than that 1980 picture of it. Dirt roads, dusty, dilapidated infrastructure, shoeless children wandering the streets, open sewer pits, etc. Now it makes nyc look like a third word country.

This is the state of most major cities in India right now and it's depressing

India will never be like China. Chinese are less religious. Religion is an evolution deterrent

Adding to this. A country that treats woman as housewives or slaves will never reach its full potential. That's +/- 50% of your population wasted.

Don’t forget they treat their streets and rivers like trash cans and their beaches like toilets

Plenty of trash rivers and pollution in China aswell. Like factories dumping chemicals in the rivers and polluting it for people downstream.
