COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS ON INDIA, CHINA, AND PAKISTAN India, China, and Pakistan have traveled more than seven decades of developmental path with varied results. Till the late 1970s, all of them were maintaining the same level of low development. The last three decades have taken these countries to different levels. India, with democratic institutions, performed moderately, but the majority of its people still depend on agriculture. India has taken many initiatives to develop the infrastructure and improve the standard of living. Scholars are of the opinion that political instability, over-dependence on remittances and foreign aid along with volatile performance of the agriculture sector are the reasons for the slowdown of the Pakistan economy. Yet, in the last five years, many macroeconomic indicators began showing positive and moderate growth rates reflecting the economic recovery. In China, the lack of political freedom and its implications for human rights are major concerns; yet, in the last four decades, it used the ’market system without losing political commitment’ and succeeded in raising the level of growth along with alleviation of poverty. Which of the following is not true about the Chinese Economy in the last few decades?
