China seems to be propped up by the mighty USA as a part of political expediency in the post USSR disintegration period. China’s claim, often buttressed by the USA based economists and observers in respect to the fast pace of development in China never matched with the ground realities. At the cost of contributing significantly to the degradation of environment, widening gulf between poor and rich, crass state subsidies for cheap water, electricity, easily available financial assistance by the State managed banks, curb on trade union activities, all these factors combined show a bleak picture of the development in China. Some of these ills prevail in India too but here in the democratic society concern about such abuses are raised time to time.
