It is like that BS propaganda that showed up recently that China did not grow at all because its cities are not emitting enough night light.

You would think that a country which built a high speed rail network larger than the rest of the world put together, built 9 of the largest 10 metro networks in the world, plus a gargantuan amount of bridges and highways, and installed more wind and solar power than the rest of the world put together as well, all of this over just the last 10 years, would be growing. But not according to these shysters.

Per capita electricity consumption in China over the past decade basically doubled.

Per capita electricity consumption in China surpassed Brazil's sometime in 2006. Also, not on this chart, but in 2022 China had electricity consumption per capita of 6,199 kWh vs 4,813 kWh in the UK. So China basically surpassed the UK in that metric already.
That American government "study" was already exposed as a fraud.

Their failure was that they didn't have the means to differentiate between higher lumen lights and lower lumen lights. So a metropolis would according to their methods have the same light emission as a suburb with minimal night lighting.

Hilariously, they used American military satellites to make the assessment, hinting at significant backwardness in US satellite ISR, because Chinese satellites are quite easily able to distinguish city and rural light level differences.

India: we'll rival China's chip industry inside a decade​

Rajeev Chandrasekhar, India's Union Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology, has just given a progress report on the country's production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme – a USD 10 billion package of incentives and assistance to encourage local chip manufacturing.
He summarised by saying that India will do in 10 years what China has spent 22 to 30 years trying to achieve. He referenced the scheme's success in attracting investments by firms such as Vedanta, Foxconn, AMD, Micron and others.


Chandrasekhar said: “Since 2014, we have rebuilt the electronics ecosystem, exporting over one lakh crores and crossing almost eight lakh rows of total electronic production, and becoming an increasingly big presence in global value supply chains for electronics."

Some people often wonder, is India really run by super competent technocrats, and just held back by the legacy of colonialism? Maybe they're just playing dumb for the votes and for global businesses? Do they actually have a plan and aren't the delusional buffoons they appear to be?

Then you have things like this which remove all doubt.

India about to have a domestic IC ecosystem capable of supporting at least 7nm node production by 2030. True story

Here is a factoid for you. Because of low workforce participation in India and USA, China's workforce is bigger than India and USA combined by a significant margin. Which is quite surreal, really. India has just ~480 million people working. A lot of the available workforce is sitting empty. And like 200 million of them are working in agriculture. China has 735 million people working. You know, you would expect American journalists who are experts on everything to mention this but you know, a 0.5% annual decline in the Chinese workforce is more important.
India has far more children too young to work and many women are "working" as housewives and mothers. Many socialist countries have a problem with birth rates as a result.
