Why does Indian Sam always like to compare with China and regard China as an imaginary enemy? Is the military strength of Indian Sam really much stronger than that of China? Compare it in detail

China and India are neighboring countries, with similar status and population in the world. They are all developing countries and ancient civilizations. There are so many similarities that the whole world often compares Indian and China. China's national strength has greatly surpassed India's, which makes India always uncomfortable when India and China are presented to the world at the same time.

The gap between India and the United States is too big to look good. Although there is a gap with China, it can be made up by psychological advantages. Compared with other small countries around India, it does not show its greatness. Although there is a Pakistan, it is a deadly enemy. The comparison under the guiding principle of destroying the enemy's power and boosting one's own spirit is boring. Although China has been recognized as a powerful country in the world, after all, the gap with India is not very big, which makes India feel that it is very likely to overtake China, and it is more appropriate to aim at a world-recognized power that is not too big.

On the surface, the military strength gap between China and India is not very big. The total number is around 2 million. Weapons and equipment are mainly Soviet-Russian series, and most of the main equipment has no independent property rights and core technology. The only difference is that China is changing the status quo, and its own R&D equipment is gradually replacing the original imports, while India is still importing a large number of original weapons and equipment. After the objective comparison, the military strength of China and India is almost equal. India developed itself by buying weapons from abroad, while China developed itself by itself.

In fact, independent research and development of weapons in China and India started almost at the same time, and the plans were also carried out almost at the same time. Only today, with the sudden change of the situation, most of China's plans have been successfully turned into objects, while most of Indian plans have become another plan. Originally, at the same starting line, two rivals with equal strength suddenly had an advantage, and the other was naturally unwilling, and he often got some psychological comfort with his future plan that was more advanced than China's.

India relies on the purchase of foreign equipment to maintain the military balance between China and India. Although India has begun to feel at a loss at present, China has not yet gained an absolute advantage, which has created a good condition for the comparison between India and China. It can be compared with the advanced and take advantage of it through purchase and psychological compensation, so it is often hyped by major Indian media. The key is whether China's lead over India is too small. If China wants India to shut up, it's better to work hard and leave India far behind.
