Some of the comparisons between India and China have become cliched

Dear Sir

What I can see is more and more ppl r learning Chinese nowadays.

I don't think English proficiency is an advantage...for small countries maybe; but for large countries, foreigners want access to your market, they'll speak to you in your language. Japan is a good example. English doesn't get you anywhere in Japan, but Japan is the world 2nd largest economy and technologically advance.

The other major difference is that, in most of the rest of the world, populations are young and increasing, creating new demand for goods and new taxpayers to pay for it all. In Japan, on the other hand, the population is already actively shrinking and the age pyramid becomes more and more insupportable with every passing year.
