China ..the Mecca of the left

China the mecca of the left .
The glorious example of sucess of the philosophy of communism  pointed out by the comrades .
The glitter in the eye of the laaal salaaams of Gods oen country .
True China had achieved the seemingly impossible of metamorphising from a drab dreary nation with milling people poor and uniformly attired in unisexed blue Mao coats that the whole country looked like replicas of each other and moulded to communist perfection to what it is today with women wearing tight shorts exposing elegant shoulders driving BMW and Vollswagens .shiny bullet trains speeding past towering skyscrapers massive bridges burgroning cities overladen malls .
True the laal salaams have a lot to thump thier chest on
But wait
Before you do that
Because communism had nothing to do with thier progress
All the time thier leaders swore on it progress was only for them not for the people like it is for the few remaining last resorts of the dead thought .
Here it was in the eighties that president Deng xioping made a departure ftom communism to market economy by encouraging investments inviting enterpreunership and opening the bamboo curtains
With the largest population in the world at his command he suceeded
Exactly what Modi in india is attempting today .
So the change was definitely not by communism but it was only because they shed its principles .
But then what was the real mantra of sucess ?
It was still holding on the rigors of a communist regime while playing with market economy .
The Government had a strict hold on criticism free thinking rights and responsibilities of a populace who never knew those .
There was no parliaments or assemblies where members threw chairs there was no demostrations in the streets no hartals no effigy burning no channel debates on any happening on any failures
No one dared to talk specially  after the Tianemen clampdown
People knew Government meant business  but would entertain no opinions
Thier job was to deliver abd thier reward unlike earlier were not empty platitudes but real progress matireal wealth prosperity consumer goods .
The cost is personal freedom
Freedom to talk
A freedom Chinese never knew
They had no qaulms on it or even if they had no one knew .
Again scratching the surface of sucess of China one finds incongruencies in plenty .
All the shiny cars do not come easy
One cannot just take a loan as in india and drive home an Audi
In China to get a car one bids in an online lottery no not for a car but for a licence plate .
One needs to own a licence plate to buy a car
Thus is unique to the individual and continues aa he buys or sells his cars even bequeathed to his children but wait is long in years
Again cars are expensive
For around five lakh Ibdian rupees one fets the most basic model car whereas in india one could get a choice of medium level sedans off the shelf .
Electric cars are
 40 %more expensive than gasoline ones as petrol is expensive yes more than India
This is for those keralites who keep lamenting on modi bleeding them on petrol prices thier beloved Chinese pay more with no whisper
So owning a car is a luxury and a long wait .
The road taxes are also steep as Govt wants to encourage public transportation .
In big cities odd and even number plates ply on alternate days .
There are no arguments
Rules are meant to be obeyed .
Now lets come to education
Only till primary classes education is free in well run Govt schools
Secondary education in all schools are paid
University educations are also paid and very competititve
No reservation blocks for anyone
Admission by merit but bills to be paid unless one gets rare scholarship
Compare this to India where wastrels spend our money to parasite for years in universities like JNU spouting anti national feelings .
Most are leftists
In China thier utopia such behaviour would land them in jail for perpetuity .
Only the Government telecasts most channels and controls news
I just found one english channel and it delivered world news
Strangely CNN was allowed
No international social sites were allowed
Google was banned so was Gmail and You tube and WA and FB
Instead Baidu.com was the search engine and we chat was the WA .
Chinese are blissfully unaware of the world
They are insulated and are focussed on thier work and relaxation post work
Rohingya refugee status make no difference to them unlike it does for mallus .
That was a bad example i know but what iam trying to convey is they know nothing of happenings
Even recent dhoklam controversy between china and india is unknown to mostly all of them
They never knew of the skirmish nor feel sad they didnt .
Health is not free
One has to pay even in Government hospitals
Everyone takes insurance when young and pays big amounts as premiums to pay for thier families health
Compare this to India where Government hospitals are free for all though shoddy and ill kept
Senior citizens have no concessions in trains buses etc
They need to earn and save to manage
Luckily tradtion of looking after them by families continues and they too take care of grandchildren of thier busy children
For a middle class Chinese day starts early with no hartals to give a respite
They need to travel in peak hour traffic or crowded metros or buses to reach thier far offices or factories .
Hours of work later with no strikes zindabads no dharnahs no gheraohs where they just do what they are told they trump home tired .
Of course shiny malls are available in cities
We never went into a village to know if china was really a massive movie set with cities as cut outs .
Is china a big bubble of progress with an insulated public who are trained to function with robotic precision to a Government that holds all rights responsibilities and makes all descisions .
But people seem to be happy prosperous and older generation who had lived under worser conditions definitely know they are better off to complain .
When there is a Government that is confident of rocketing the country to progress does one need rights as long as ones needs are well met
I dont know
Used to freedom of thoughts in India it looks stiffled but i cannot say india with all its freedom is better as in china theres no corruption less crime and greater progress
A demonitisation in china would have come and gone with no whisper with people ready to accrpt good and bad of experiments meant for the good of the country
They cannot use any sticks to beat the leaders good or bad
I admire Modi who fights a battle so much more fierce than Xi of China .
So all those who spout on intolerance in india under modi of how the media is being controlled more day by day of how freedom of thought is stymied please have a look at china
Of course we are a democratic country but then its time we started thinking if democracy means only rights and not responsibilites
Specially keralites .

Can india catch up with china
I dont think so
Even with an excellent demography of more younger people compared to China which is suffering from its one child policy of yesteryears and clear advantage of better proficiency in english india is supposed to rocket beyond China but thats one dream that may just not happen .
Chinas development started atound two decades back
With the communist Government realising thier political philosophy is more good in theory than practice they just married capitalism to it .
They knew they needed to world to invest in thier country just what Modiji is trying to do today after twenty years but China had a clear advantage itsnt a democracy .
They just needed to form the rules and the populace obeyed
If dams had to be built so  they were
If roads needed mosques or churches or monasteries out of the way so they were cleared
There were no protests no himan rights groups no  candle light marches led by ford funded high profile ladies mouthing inanities
The Arundhati roys and yechuris have no voice in China
The JNU S of China only studied hard and hot degrees to work hard for thier country
There were no parasites strangely in the leftist China unlike in India where left is a synonym for parasitism .
The principles of communism were rightly sold at the altar of development to the betterment of the people today .
Massive projects powerhouses dams super structures apartmrnts cities  superhighways elevated paths for bullet trains airports were built at demonic speed .
Infrastructure was Chinas mantra for two decades
Its stunning to see super storeyed buildings even in second class cities like xian leave alone Shangai or Beijing
Towns too developed so did villages
Each were managed by ambitious hard working councils like our corporations but unlike ours not manned by corrupt fighting self serving backward looking power monger politicisns whose only duty was to obstruct progress and swindle .
To give an example a small town zeroed in on IT based venture investments made huge IT parks invited fortune 500 companies to invest in e commerce  with a free one time two million yuan grant one window permits excellent infrastructure and mobilty and in no time had 640 companies from the world over being part of it
Today its a modern city with zero inemployment all round prosperity
We too have people who can get this done people like E Sreedharan .V.J.Kurien and many more but the dirty sloth politicians and thier filthy political power plays petty jealousy stops all progress
While swearing on communism and socialism these wrwtches encourage laziness hartals drunkeness goondaism political violence partialitiy in law to thier benifits
As long as this kind of democracy which is an insult to freedom exists India can never reach China
