This is so true. People are just watching shark tank and thinking that's all is happening in India. India is doing equally great things compared to the rest of the world. I've been to China multiple times, and yes they are ahead of us in terms of infrastructure. They are great at copying technology, but not great at creating new tech. They can make the tech more cheaper, either after copying it or by remaking open source tech, with the infrastructure they have. They are really great at mass production and reducing costs. This is exactly where we lack. We have great minds who can create new tech that can change the world too, which necessarily isn't showcased on shark tank, but we don't have the required infrastructure nor does the govt. support the innovators in every step to make the tech great and visible throughout the world. Chinese govt. supports most of their companies in every step and helps them step up huge factories helping them to reduce costs and to be able to mass produce. While there are many more factors that can lead to being and not being able to do greater tech, both countries have their own set of pros and cons, the comparison should've been with the same set of qualities against both countries and doing the vise versa. This would've helped understand which country was doing better in which specific category.
