If you think of India, what is your first impression -- is it dirty, messy, poor? But I can tell you that India is a very confident country.
In recent years, India's population has skyrocketed, and the continent has been replaced by India as the world's most populous country.
India is one of the largest democracies, with a population of 1.4 billion, and also plays an important role in international cooperation.
In India's eyes, there are many conditions for becoming a great power.
Whether a country can be called a strong country depends not only on its economic, political, and international influence. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to various factors such as military capabilities, scientific and technological innovation, or cultural dissemination.
So many netizens will ask, can China be ranked first in the eyes of India?
It can be seen from India's ranking of the United States in second place that the international influence of the United States is gradually declining in the impression of Indians.
Unexpectedly, China was ranked first among the world's powers by India, although many countries did not accept such a list.
But it has to be said that India's behavior has confirmed its efforts against China in recent decades.
India's self-confidence in bringing itself on a par with the United States and China is the result of India's perception of itself.
So let me tell you about the depth and connotation of this list.
1. Reasons for India's self-confidence
As one of the ancient cultural countries in the world, India has its own set of cognitive systems.
They are the birthplace of Buddhism and have a strong religious belief. They regarded the cow as a god, and the people of the country worshipped the cow devoutly.
On international affairs, India has a tendency to be self-confident and arrogant in every statement. Naturally, it shows that their country has other advantages that cannot be surpassed.
First of all, in terms of demographic dividend, India is the most populous country in the world. Naturally, young people and manual workers are indispensable, and this is what other countries aspire to.
Secondly, India, as a country with a long history and culture, has also developed rapidly in the economic field in recent years.
India's GDP has jumped to the sixth place in the world, behind China, the United States, Japan, Germany and the United Kingdom. This is enough to show that India's development is already growing day by day.
At the same time, its economic growth is mainly due to the huge domestic demand market and the abundance of human resources. These two advantages, coupled with the support of various government policies, it is not difficult to imagine that India can develop so remarkably.
On top of that, the standard of living of the people in India has also improved significantly, so this has also increased people's self-confidence and pride.
In addition, India has also made remarkable achievements in scientific and technological innovation. The world's largest software company, known as the "World Office", is the result of India's efforts over the years.
India's information technology industry has attracted investment from many countries, and India has made important breakthroughs in fields such as aerospace, nuclear energy, or biotechnology.
That's why India is ranked as one of the most innovative countries, which is why the Indian people are confident in their country.
In addition, India has also seen a significant improvement in educational resources. India's world-class institutions of higher learning, such as the Indian Institute of Technology, have produced highly qualified and highly educated talents.
It has provided a lot of intellectual help for India's scientific and technological development and economic prosperity.
The Indian government is also actively promoting basic education so that ordinary people can also read and write, and improve their education standards.
This has also led to a great deal of self-confidence in India's ability to cultivate and educate its talents.
Finally, India also plays an irreplaceable role in international interactions.
As an important member of many large international organizations such as the United Nations, the World Trade Organization and BRICS, India's international prestige has been greatly enhanced.
It has to be said that India is a leading country in South Asia and promotes the coordinated development of the region.
This makes Indians very proud of their country's international status and confident in their country's international influence.
These are the reasons why India is as confident as it is today.
But then again, as can be seen from the above, India has some sufficient advantages in science and technology, education, international affairs, etc., so the self-confidence of Indians can also be explained.
Second, the United States ranks second in terms of overall national strength
Perhaps this is the most incredible thing that India's "New World Ranking" lists only the United States in second place.
It can be seen from this that the United States is not yet the strongest country in the eyes of Indians. Why is that?
As far as we know, the United States has unparalleled advantages in science and technology, education, and international status. Not to mention other military, economic aspects.
So why does India still rank the United States in second place?
In terms of economy, the United States is the world's largest economy, and its GDP has been among the highest in the world for many years.
In the past decade or so, the United States has firmly grasped the position of the world's No. 1. With the global circulation of the US dollar, the United States' economy, trade, and international cooperation are invincible.
In terms of military capabilities, the United States spends the highest amount on the military field in the world, with elite weapons and a good military.
At the same time, it also uses the method of provoking disputes in the international community and getting other countries to buy weapons from the United States to promote its own development.
While the U.S. is militarily strong, China is also improving its military capabilities and modernization, and its influence is growing.
In terms of scientific and technological innovation, the United States has a long leading position in the field of scientific and technological innovation, and Silicon Valley is the most powerful representative research center.
There, there are globally renowned technological products. For example, artificial intelligence, quantum communication, and the 5G network that is popular around the world can be said to be the convergence of science and technology.
The United States also plays a crucial role in international organizations. It is one of the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, and this title is enough to make the United States boast for a while.
so that it can also play a leading role in other international organizations. But even though the United States is so powerful, it cannot avoid natural and man-made disasters. The emergence of the epidemic has caused the US economy to plummet greatly.
With the outpouring of unemployment, the people also revolted. Messing up the country.
All of this is an objective factor.
From the perspective of subjective feelings, the various signs made by the United States show that they only think about the interests of their own country.
And international countries are adhering to cooperation and win-win, not just ranking competition.
3. Will the first power be China?
At this point in the article, netizens are speculating, can China become the number one power on the list?
In fact, this is also what the editor thinks, from the perspective of various factors, China has become the first power, which is unavoidable.
China has the ability to integrate science and technology, education, technology and resources.
These can represent China's strength, so let the editor study it carefully for you.
First of all, in terms of China's economic strength, China's GDP is second only to the United States, and it has surpassed the United States in terms of total trade and foreign exchange reserves.
China's rapid economic growth in recent years is not only due to the improvement of the level of science and technology, but also related to the introduction of national policies, which guide the common development of the people and the region.
The upgrading of China's economy and the expansion of market scale have also provided far-reaching impact on the international community.
In terms of military capabilities, China's armed forces can be said to have fulfilled their mission. Under a democratic state system, the Chinese armed forces are wholeheartedly considerate of the people, and as the saying goes, "whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world."
At a critical moment, the Chinese army picked up heavy burdens and rushed to the front.
Whether it is in the epidemic period or in various crises, they will not complain. This is also why the Chinese army is a team favored by the people.
With the rapid advancement of China's military modernization, China's military spending is second only to that of the United States. At the same time, China has also made many contributions and breakthroughs in navy, air force and nuclear missile technology.
From the perspective of diplomatic influence, the "Belt and Road" advocated by China has also become a hot topic in recent years. Many countries have developed under the impetus of China's "One Belt, One Road".
China has maintained multilateral and bilateral cooperation projects, which have not only enhanced its international discourse but also laid a solid foundation for its own development.
In the perception of the combination of objective and subjective, China has the psychology and actions of a responsible major country.
end
Overall, India's list of "new world powers" has managed to attract the attention of various countries, and many people in this list have speculated about the identity of the number one power.
But we also need to be clear that India's view is based only on their national thinking. It does not represent a comprehensive situation, nor can it subjectively evaluate the strength or weakness of a country.
Every country in the world has its own strengths and weaknesses, and you can't just look at the rankings without looking at the reality.
Because the strength of the country is not only reflected in the hard power of comprehensive national strength, but also in the soft power, including the spread of culture, international reputation and so on.
Indians' evaluations may be taken into account in the light of these factors, but they will also change as the international situation changes.
We should also take into account India's development and thinking in an all-round way, and we should not one-sidedly pursue the ranking.
In short, whether the strongest country in the hearts of Indians is China. There will be no one standard answer to this question, after all, everyone will consider and study from different points of view to make a judgment.
Therefore, in the international arena, we only need to always adhere to mutual benefit and mutual respect, which is the most important way to maintain a peaceful world environment.
