00:00Is India catching up with China?
00:02These two Asian powerhouses are neighbors and rivals.
00:06In 2023, India overtook China as the world's most populous country.
00:11It has a younger population, while China's is aging,
00:15its workforce shrinking and its economy is slowing down.
00:18Meanwhile, India's economy is growing, some 6% in 2023,
00:22and is attracting foreign investment.
00:25All this translates into a confidence boost for India.
00:28But on many levels, India is a long way off from catching up with China,
00:32which still has the world's second largest economy and the biggest navy, for example.
00:37As Beijing likes to say, the next China is still China.
00:40But India claims this is the era of joint progress,
00:43and there's room for more than one Asian powerhouse.
