It's fun to watch IQ "deniers" dance around the topic when trying to explain the relative prosperity differences between China and India (despite the many other features which the two have in common). This data is also from Lynn, I believe.pic.twitter.com/Q9v7W5zdUW

Isn't it because of the socialism and industrial control policies in India in 1970s-91?

China not only kept going at it until farmers were literally eating their babies, but then launched a Cultural Revolution to stop the country getting off the death bus.

Agree. But they made a 180 shift. India's heart is still in socialism

The Chinese benefited from a harder lesson in the delights of command economics, certainly.

Haha yes... And they've taken it to heart... although current debt levels do raise the question of some more education :)
