Comment on Believe the Hype About India and China

Comments

Besides the line regarding Mt. Everest may relate to China, the rest of the post is about India.

What is really the truth is that the wealthy nations are unheard of the situations in poorer countries. What is obvious in our community (banks, credit cards) is not at all in some areas in the world. It's rare to see the problems when the problems are not in front of us.

The good thing about cheaper technologies is that, they are more accessible, could improve the conditions of people faster and have more impact.

Mt. Everest is in Nepal, which is a country between India and China. Although IMO, it's more like India than China.

It would be a political debate whether how to account for that. To me it is too hard to say so, as the border is actually cutting the mountain in half. However technically the peak of the mountain is within the border of China.
