COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGY

ADVANCEMENT IN INDIA AND CHINA

HISTORY OF INDIA VS CHINA

The history of science and technology in China is both long and rich with many contributions to science and technology.

The history of science and technology in India begins with prehistoric human flocking activity at Mehrgarh, in present-day Pakistan, and continues through the Indus Valley Civilization to early states and empires

Among the earliest inventions were the abacus, the "shadow clock," and the first flying machines such as kites and Kongming lanterns. The four Great Inventions of ancient China: the compass, gunpowder, papermaking, and printing, were among the most important

DEFENCE

According to United States DoD (Department of Defense) reports for 2006, China’s military expenditure is estimated to be 80 billion US dollars. However, the official Chinese government quote is a $30 billion military expenditure

India’s official military expenditure for 2006 is quoted at $22 billion by the Ministry of Finance (India) Budget (2006-2007

China military personnel higher at 2,255,000.

In air defence, China’s PLA (People’s Liberation Army) Air Force has 9,218 aircrafts of which about 2300 are combat aircrafts, operating from its 489+ air bases

In 2006 India’s active military personnel numbered over 1,325,000

. The Indian Air Force has 3382 aircrafts which includes 1335 combat aircrafts operating from 334+ bases and its sole aircraft carrier INS Viraat

China’s PLA Navy with its fleet of 284 vessels is quantitatively larger but lacking in actual war experience,

Indian Navy is the world’s eighth largest navy with a with a fleet of 145 vessels consisting of missile-capable warships, advanced submarines, the latest naval aircrafts and an aircraft carrier in its inventory

India Gains on China in Asia's Space Race

Asia's space race just got a whole lot tighter: India's successful launch on Wednesday of its first moon mission, the unmanned Chandrayaan-I, marked a dramatic step forward in its race with China

MOBILES

China’s mobile market has grown strongly over the past 10 years, whilst India’s market growth has been relatively slow. However, over the past year, India’s mobile market growth has picked up strongly.

Situation in the past and now

However, over the past year, India’s mobile market growth has picked up strongly.

In the 12 months to May 2006, 45.8 million mobile subscribers were added, more than double of the additions from Jun 2004 to May 2005. By May 2006, the total number of subscribers has reached 100 million.

Continued…

The Government has set a mobile subscriber target of 250 million by the end of 2007 and 500 million by 2010. India’s mobile market is likely to grow strongly in the next 3-4 years. However, the market size is likely to remain smaller than China’s due to socio-economic and other constraints:

2015 32.2% 49.5%

What does India’s growth prospect mean for China?

There are opportunities for vendors to provide low cost infrastructure for rural coverage and converged WiFi / cellular support in urban and rural areas. Low cost GSM and CDMA handsets are also the key for higher penetration for both countries. With 3G on the horizon, there are similar opportunities for 3G handsets in the next 3-5 years.

Chinese operators can take reference from India on ways to penetrate low income groups in China to boost mobile population

· Design VAS compatible with basic handsets

· Provide tariff plans that require very low cost to keep subscriptions active

· Make ultra-low cost handsets available

STRENGTHS OF TECHNOLOGY1. Improved agronomic traits of crops.2. India has third largest technical

manpower in world.3. Use of nuclear energy for power

generation in agriculture ,medicine, industry research etc.

LIMITATIONS FACED BY THE 2 COUNTRIES

1. Global warming and pollution.2. Reduction in agriculture land.3. Pollution due electromagnetic effects

etc.4. Focus on Business Process Outsourcing

CONCLUSION

China has an edge over India in many aspects. It is a strong competitor of U.S.A .

India is a developing nation in comparison with China having a large population and developing rapidly. Very soon it will prove to be a strong competition if it continues with the same rate as of now.
