China is a dictatorship, the government decides to do something, no choice but to do it.

India is a democracy, government's got to convince everyone, including the powerful and moneyed that the thing they want to do is worth it.

A democracy where people have a voice that the ruling class can choose to ignore. Hmm.

Democracy runs opposed to capitalism.
