Overtaking China

It's a long battle to overtake China in the global market. Our markets are stocked with Chinese products, either as a whole or as assembled part, which have no Indian substitute at all. Even if they are removed from the markets, the customer can order it online. We need is to build better substitutes for these products. For this, we need to improve our work culture, stop brain-drain and infuse confidence among the working class by paying them well. We have the best doctors, engineers and scientists in the world. Unfortunately, they are serving other developed nations, due to lack of opportunities in India. If they could find growth here, they would definitely serve here. Our English speaking skills give us an edge over China in the global labour market. We need to prepare ourselves fully before boycotting Chinese goods.
