Many in China look at India with contempt and believe India is no match for China. Some Chinese even believe India’s current development level is somewhat similar to that of China in the 1990s. While some experts in China have pointed out that even if all export data for agriculture, services, etc. are included, India's export volume is probably only at the level of China’s Jiangsu Province. This attitude of looking down upon India has also been called “strategic contempt” in China. The so-called strategic contempt for India is essentially confidence in China’s own hard-earned “prosperity.” It is in this backdrop, one observes a deliberate, consistent, and relentless media focus in China on India in general and “Made in India" in particular in recent months. This is the first publication in the new ICS Translations series of articles in the Chinese media on India.
