Comparative Economy of India?

When will (if ever) India's economy/military surpass China's?

• No doubt that both are Asia's largest powers. Both have extremely high growth rates with China coming out on top. However,recently many economists say that India can surpass China at around 2030 if not sooner, how true is this (assuming that the policies are the same)? Also keep in mind factor in Hong Kong and Macau's GDP into China as well (they are part of China) Do you think India will ever surpass China? Both militaries are powerful in Asia.Again right now China seems to have the more superior military (China is viewed as a major military threat by the U.S.) with much more nuclear missiles than India (it is still developing ICBMs). With China's status as number 1 economy in the future as well as increased military expenditures,do you think that China can maintain its status as strongest military in Asia or do you think that India will surpass China's military (as well as economy)? Thank you for your answers

• Answer:

  I don't think so because india has too high a birth rate, heavy poverty in areas, more migration and smaller army than China so it seems it won't surpass China anytime soon. China is on the verge of industrialisation as well so that will increase the economy and military power significantly.
