Democracy in China and India - Article Example

Economic growth is either enhanced or hindered by democracy. Hans Rosling tries to compare Asia with the rest of the world with the argument that Asia may surpass the rest of the world at some past in the future. Hans, in his speech, believes that the Asia education system is better than the Western system because students take their academic roles and assignments more seriously (Rosling). He anticipates seeing Asia at the top of the global economic development in the future. The narrator anticipates a time in the future when Asia will be equivalent to the UK and other global economic giants.

In my opinion, Yasheng Huang is the most compelling. The comparison made between India and China is justified with facts and aspects of economic growth in China and India. However, Hans Rosling’s speech is not compelling because; based on the present economic status of Asia and the rate of global economic growth, it is illogical to compare India with economic giants like the UK in the future.
