  • India and China will save the planet. What can we learn from both countries?#chinasnewnormal
    TIMESTAMPS
    00:00 THE BIGGEST POLLUTERS: The CO2 emission of China is more than the whole western hemisphere with 27% of CO2 emissions. On top China is biggest coal producer and India biggest coal growth producer.
    04:24 EXISTENTIAL URGENCIES: China and India have more reality sense on climate change than most countries in northern hemisphere. This creates unpredictability for hundreds of millions of households in both India and China how their lives will be affected. This creates a mindset change in both countries. This is why China wants to do everything to become CO2 neutral by 2060 and India by 2070 even though both countries are very different in policies.
    09:00 XI JINPING AND NARENDRA MODI: THE SIMILARITIES: Both leaders have created a personality cult around them. Both leaders have learned what hardship through external factors mean for common people. Both leaders have grown through the ranks known as tough administrators that take hard decisions. Both leaders have a strong cultural heritage, pride and nationalism of their citizens. Both leaders have the support of almost 1.4 billion people that optimistic of the sustainability of their future and willing to work hard towards it. We cannot imagine what would happen to the planet of Xi or Modi would be climate denier like Trump.
    15:52 CHINA'S COMMITMENT: China has invested 4 times more capacity than EU, US or India. They are the biggest producer and buyer of renewable energy. China is of course a top-down ecological nation, which makes all the difference to implement capacity, although it does at times challenge the biodiversity of nature.
    17:18 Do we have enough time for a democratic debate on climate change is the question? The result is that China is becoming the green factory and supply chain of the world, which we will not be able to decouple from this decade if the West wants to reach climate goals by 2050.
    The biggest issue for the world is however overpopulation and overconsumption, and China is part of the problem there too.
    21:58 INDIA'S COMMITMENT: India is less responsible of overconsumption because its part of their VEDIC mindset of a sustainable ecosystem. Tradition in India is relying on local and seasonal food, recycling of materials, eco-friendly buildings and conservation of water and other scarce resources. Modi, who is of Hindu faith leading the BJP that is strongly based on Hindutva ideoology believes in moderation and conservation since Mahatma Gandhi's philosophy.
    26:00 This is why Modi created the L.I.F.E. movement for Pro-Planet People to come up with ideas to change people's lifestyle in a sustainable world. He can do that, because his track record is great on making efforts to do energy transition despite India being the fastest growing large economy on the world for this decade. India is one of the few countries on track on reaching climate goals as one example. But most important is that Modi's support is incredible big because inclusion of poor people into society.
    30:16 INFLUENCE OF CHINA AND INDIA: India is leading G20 in 2023, and Modi is putting saving the planet as top of the agenda. India can really guide the world how to change our lifestyle and about moderations, while China can teach the world how to take a top-down approach to invest in renewables. The only condition is to remain open to both India's tradition and keep buying green products from China for the coming decade.

    Both China & India were once significant civilizations that influenced global trade...both in recent last centuries experienced imperialistic aggression and in the last few decades have begun to rise again as a global powerhouse of significant influence. Both have significant cultures that frame their societies ability to endure adversity and rise above the disadvantages that affect their development.

      What exactly India exported that influenced global trade, can you name just one thing, only one thing, any? Opium produced by British colonial government was the only globally influential export commodity ever from India, is this something you are proud of? We all know China has many inventions (e.g. mass steel production, fine textile machines, printing machine, paper money, gunpowder, transocean ship technologies, arch bridges, canal, water paddy rice farming, etc.) and products (e.g, silk, chinaware, tea, paper, gunpowder, etc.) that greatly influenced the whole world, without Chinese inventions there couldn't be any industrial revolution in Europe which modernized the world. What inventions by India greatly influenced or modernized the whole world?
      Please study ancient history, China was the only one that had massive international trade with many parts of the world, but where was India? India has always closed itself to outside, it had almost no trade with other civilizations, only when the Indo-Europeans from Central Asia migrated to the regions now northern part of India then India got out of stone age. Indo-Europeans introduced metallurgy and other technologies to Indians. Even the Indian Classical Sanskrit language is based on Indo-European Vedic Sanskrit.
      Please be realistic, be truthful, don't boast or spread disinformation.

Nehru even wanted more than the line drew by British, ordered troops to establish outpost beyond Mchanon Line, which led to 1962 war. India also claimed Aksai Chin which was not disputed by British.

    Recently someone online asked me why I hope to see India rise so much when I'm a pro-China half-Chinese. I explained that China and India are two neighbors trying to cross the same river. Any path and any ideas found by one will benefit the other, even if they are competing. By learning from each other, they can reduce each other's mistakes and pains by half.
    China and India share many similar challenges: a huge population to bring out of poverty, the need to modernize while preserving their traditions and cultures, and achieving all this without wrecking the planet. The fact that they have adopted different paths is that much more beneficial: China through its top-down, technology and engineering-focused approach, and India through its more bottom-up, grassroots ecological initiatives approach.

    India does have the right to pursue economic development and lift its people out of poverty.
    Rather than focusing on blame, it's more productive for Western countries to engage in constructive dialogue and collaboration with India and other developing countries to find solutions that benefit everyone. This could involve providing financial and technological support to help developing countries transition to cleaner energy sources, sharing best practices for sustainable development, and working together to develop global agreements and initiatives to combat climate change.

    I've managed somehow to miss quite a few of your vids recently, so it's nice to find you again. As someone from the UK, I was feeling a bit uneasy on this topic. It is blindingly obvious that we all need to work together to save the planet and really it doesn't matter who has the good ideas provided someone does. Unfortunately, as a imperial power our mindset was always "how can we extract maximum economic advantage from our colonies?" Sharing ideas and best practise requires a degree of humility and openness which I'm not sure comes naturally to us. And we are not at the helm of dollar-controlled hegemony....

    It's difficult to understand why some westerners are quick to blame China and India for exacerbating our climate crisis. Even though their side is the most rabid of climate deniers and misinformation, they would still pin blame to China and India. If only they knew that a lot of laws and policies passed by their government are actually against their interest and the environment. Is it really far easier to blame a foreign country than your own corrupt government and greedy corporations?
    So far, of all the countries, it seems Australia is the worst of all. It's unbelievable to witness a person condemning China and India for the climate crisis at the same time denying the crisis is real. Whatever fumes those Aussies are breathing, I am certain it isn't healthy.

    In India this is known that Humans are different than animals in just one feature - we can raise the consciousness of our mind . In all other terms the humans are similar to animals - animals do have soul ,mind and a part of Ishvar ( hindu God) within them . That is Vedic philosophy.
    That said , India does have a pollution problem - just like every other country .
    So the problem is actually the consumption based economic models that were created in west to support capitalism .
    Indians are not that much capitalist , instead Indian government should try to create an alternate economic model for our businesses, so we could avoid getting in the trap that the western society faces today.

Many of his contenporaries were trying to ape the british and wearing saville row suits to show themselves as belonging to the ruling class. His example continues to this day- even if a politician is corrupt in public he will try to wear modest clothes else he will be thrown out of power.

    I fully agree with your analysis. The world will have to look to China and India to cooperate on the global challenges as US will be bogged down by powerful climate change deniers
    Over time, it's inevitable that China and India will realize that it's ridiculous for two most populous neighbours not to synergize with each others. The pressure of supporting their huge populations and the effects of drought and flood will ensure their collaboration.
    But a few factors will delay that process.
    1. Western media are prevalent in the Indian media space. They divide India and China capitalizing on the border disputes.
    2. The ruling and media elites in India are mostly trained in the West. Many have worked overseas in the West and have children and families there too. Hence, India has an inclination towards the West that inhibit criss border cooperation with China.
    However over time, the pressure to engage with each other out of necessity will be felt.
    And when these two economies collaborate, they will make a huge difference on climate change and global prosperity.

    Somethig that gets overlooked all the time is that, cheap fast comsumption from west is actually directly forcing the local governments in the global south to keep their environmental laws complacent to polluting industries. If any local government tightens up their laws or the implementation of it, they will shift production to keep producing cheaper and threaten the job market.
    So this is not something the producing countries alone can control, if the buyer only flock to cheap polluting production.
    So if you are from the west, buy less, invest in products after really reasearching and see if the company is fully transparent about its entire supply chain; if it isn't, its probably flaunting regulations. Productiom cannot cover all bases without responsible consumerism co-operating with the effort.

    It is time to talk peace and development between India and China. Let us propose the idea of 100-100-100, i.e. India army will be 100 miles into India side from LAC, China army will be 100 miles into China side from LAC and this status will last for 100 years. Missiles and more missiles, all for what?
    India and China, two of the largest and most populous nations in the world, have a complex relationship with a history of conflicts and tensions. However, it's important for both nations to strive towards friendship and cooperation, not just for their own benefit, but for the betterment of the whole world.
    One way to achieve this goal is by making the border between India and China disappear, symbolizing the breaking down of barriers and the start of a new era of cooperation. This can be accomplished by having the armies of both nations stationed 100 miles away from the border, creating a buffer zone for peaceful relations.
    Additionally, creating a thousand points of exchange between the two countries would allow for greater cultural exchange and understanding. People from both nations could visit each other, learn about each other's customs, and do whatever they wish. This would help to break down stereotypes and promote mutual respect, leading to a more peaceful world.
    In conclusion, a friendship between India and China has the potential to greatly benefit not only the two nations themselves, but also the entire world. By breaking down borders and promoting cultural exchange, we can work towards a more harmonious and peaceful future.
