Which is why you'll se both cosying up to Russia to obtain it. The Russia/China/India trading bloc will be a counterbalance to the EU and the US - it fits the political portfolio of all three countries and all have been very close politically in the past.

China might be doing better than India now, but many invesment pundits predict China will peak in the next 4 years, but India's elephant will continue to rule atleast until 2050.

So far the Chinese have only had the US, Japan and Europe in mind when they think about taking a page from. But among the Chinese intelligensia India is quickly gaining attention that it deserves. China has a lot to learn from India. On the other hand, even though the Chinese do not possess the extremely high level of distrust and disgust the Indians generally have toward China and the Chinese, as witnessed by many people on various Internet forums (I don't blame the Indians); growing number of Chinese are aware of the fact that numerous Chinese companies were kicked out of India/barred from investing in India and the fact that India, increasingly has become a card the US uses to keep China in check.

What exactly is this? “China is the be all and end all and no other country is worthy of comparison”. What exactly is this?

Almost a one-sided view that China is the be all and end all and no other country is worthy of comparison. India is hugely important to China. As a market to sell Chinese products too, to selling labor and construction to in order to satisfy India's own needs. India also is a gateway from China into the Middle East. China's Dragon may well have woken up, but India's Elephant has too. With the influence of Russia with both of them the real story is not "China is far ahead of everyone else" but more the emergence of a China/India/Russia trading bloc set to challenge the US and Europe. That's the real story, and the balance of global trade and power is shifting. Not something China can achieve on it's own. I find the attitude of Chinese very interesting in this respect.
