KEY POINTS

·        China’s hard-power advantage over India economic power plus military power  is well known. Soft power is getting others to do what you want by persuasion.

·        In diplomatic influence, overall, India ranks sixth and China ranks first among 25 Asian powers, which include the US.

·        India matches China in terms of regional memberships, but, crucially, its contributions to the UN capital budget are completely dwarfed by Chinese contributions (11.7 per cent to 0.8 per cent of the total).

·        In cultural projection, India scores better on Google searches abroad of its newspapers and its television/radio broadcasts.

·        It also exports more of its “cultural services”. China does better on several other indicators. For instance, India has only nine brands in the list of the top 500 global brands whereas China lists 73. On the number of UNESCO World Heritage sites, India has 37 while China has 53.

·        In terms of information flows, in 2016–17, India hosted a mere 24,000 Asian students in tertiary education institutions whereas China hosted 2,25,000.

·        As for tourist arrivals, in 2017 India clocked 5 million arrivals from Asia whereas China clocked 41 million and ranked first among 25 Asian countries.

·        The governance effectiveness index shows India scoring in the top 43 per cent countries worldwide and ranked 12th and China scoring in the top 32 per cent and ranked 10th.
