If you give an unbiased review, which is the best country to live in, India or China?
如果讓你給出一個公正的評價，印度和中國哪個更宜居?
以下是Quora讀者的評論：

I have lived in China long enough to share my views,yes,they love their money,smokes and drinks along with their food too(they do eat some crazy stuff).
But,China has committed its share of mistakes by focussing majority of its infrastructural developments in the southern side and neglecting its northern provinces,this has led to heavy migrations and clogging in major cities in the south,it's not a balanced development.
Having said that they still are doing great in terms of infrastructural developments and Shanghai though crowded is just wow!
Even Suzhou,Chongqing,Guangzhou,Nanjing are nice cities to live in.
It's manufacturing efficiency is unparalleled and they can just about photocopy any product and also manufacture new ones at very little profit margins depending more on quantity than quality.
Warm people once you get to know them,they love their KTV’s and it's a big thing there,but,I personally felt that their women can dress better,it borders vulgarity most of the times and they love to show skin and are obsessed with anything western.
What was really disturbing is their blatant disregard for intellectual properties,every software is cracked and used not only in private but also in public entities(production plants),it's a loss of millions of dollars to the European companies producing these softwares;millions of dollars!
Yes,I didn't see ethics or integrity,it's money which matters and that's all there is to it,and I personally didn't find their engineers all that great or intellectually quick and I have trained many from different parts of the world,so,comparatively Indians did better there,but Germans were the best.
Our manufacturing efficiency is lacking way behind developed counterparts and I felt it was mainly due to mindset than anything else,yes,labor laws are absolute rubbish and with these laws no manufacturing facility of global standards can flourish.
Still I am here in India with a will to contribute my might in bringing back this country to its past glory,yes,it has potential,it just needs able leadership with an iron fist,things will start changing,I will fight on!!!
我在中國生活的時間足夠長，有資格分享我的觀點，是的，他們愛錢，抽菸，喝酒，還有他們的食物(他們確實會吃一些奇怪的東西)。
但是，中國也犯了錯誤，把大部分基礎設施建設集中在南部，忽視了北部省份，這導致了大量移民湧入南方主要城市，帶來擁堵，這不是均衡的發展。
儘管如此，他們在基礎設施建設方面仍然做得很好，上海雖然擁擠，但還是令人驚歎！
就連蘇州、重慶、廣州、南京都是宜居城市。
中國的生產效率是無與倫比的，他們可以複製任何產品，也可以製造新的產品，利潤非常低，靠數量取勝，而非質量。
一旦你結識熱情的人，你會發現他們喜歡KTV，這是一件大事，但是，我個人覺得他們的女人可以提高一下衣品，她們的著裝大部分時間都很粗俗，喜歡裸露身體，對西方的東西都很著迷。
令人不安的是他們公然漠視知識產權，每一個軟件都被破解，不僅私人使用，公共實體也會用(生產工廠)，生產這些軟件的歐洲公司損失了數百萬美元！
是的，我沒有發現他們的道德或正直，這是錢的問題，就是這樣。我個人並不認為他們的工程師有那麼好，智力上很聰明，我訓練過許多來自世界各地的人，所以，相對來說印度人做的更好，不過德國人最出色。
我們的製造效率落後於發達國家，我認為這主要是由於心態，而無關其他，是的，勞動法非常垃圾，因為這些法律，全球標準的製造設施都沒辦法蓬勃發展。
我還在印度，我願意貢獻我的力量，把這個國家帶回曾經的榮耀，是的，印度有潛力，需要的只是鐵腕的領導，一切都會變好的，我會繼續努力!!

Having ‘lived’ in both countries as a foreign expat, I have to say there are multiple answers to this based on your needs.
Disclaimer: I am currently an engineer involved with a company specializing in heavy construction and heavy industry setup and operations consultancy.
I have lived in China a lot more than India. I have been to India 6 times now. Longest being 9 months and shortest 6 months. Whereas I have lived in China for 1 year at a stretch with vacation breaks 4 times and numerous short trips.
First impressions: China beats India hands down in terms of infrastructure, money and overall getting a more ‘western’ lifestyle infused with local quirks. Chinese mega cities are something else, few western cities compare to them and the different thing is that they are are so new. Like the whole infrastructure is so new, it’s all very modern and top-notch, other cities have great infra to, but it’s all very outdated in general or maybe I am used to it. Transport, from rural centers etc., logistical ease in material good is better.
India has better and more English speakers, after my first trip, I felt super confident in India even in smaller cities. I could always find someone be it a shopkeeper or random person who would know English. AS for accent, I got used to it, not an issue anyway. There is much more diversity in India in general, people, places. It’s like continent crammed into a country. Internet, overall freedom, which I think makes Indians more brash in expressing their opinion in comparison to Chinese.
In general I would say, for an average person, China is much better. The country is simply growing in every aspect in breathtaking stage. The town center near to our project when we started in 2010 was a dump. In midway, it got included in local 3 year plan. And in 3 years it was transformed, literally they put everything in there roads, school, hospital, malls, clubs etc. Locals where overjoyed obviously, I hardly doubt India can pull of something like that.

作為一名外籍人士，我在這兩個國家都“生活過”，我不得不說，根據你的需求不同，答案也不同。
免責聲明：我目前是一名工程師，在一家專門從事重型建築和重工業設置和運營諮詢的公司工作。
我在中國生活的時間比在印度長得多。我去過印度6次。最長呆了9個月，最短也有6個月。我在中國連續生活了1年，期間休假4次，還有過多次短期訪問。
第一印象：中國在基礎設施、資金和總體而言，生活方式比印度更“西方化”。中國的特大城市完全不同，很少有西方城市能與它們相比，因為它們非常新。整個基礎設施都很新，很現代化，很一流。
印度有更多說英語的人，在我第一次來到印度後，我對印度非常有信心，即便身處小城市，不管是店主還是隨便什麼人，我總能找到懂英語的人。至於口音，我已經習慣了，這不是問題。總的來說，印度人和印度地域的多樣性要豐富得多。就像把大陸塞進了一個國家內。互聯網，全線自由，我認為這使得印度人在表達他們的觀點時比中國人更傲慢。
總的來說，我認為，對於一個普通人來說，中國要好得多。這個國家在各個方面都處於驚人的發展階段。2010年初，我們項目附近的市中心還是一個垃圾場。隨後，它被列入當地的3年發展計劃內。在3年內，它得到了改造，配備了一切設施：道路，學校，醫院，商場，俱樂部等等。

Definitely India!
Why?
1.Politicians will come and go but India will rise at a very slow pace. Should you worry about it? No, if you have a buisness then all the govt. officials will be in your favor. If you will start with just having a toyota, in next ten years you will atleast will have an Audi or multiple fancy cars.
2.Indians dont have a habit of calling other's thing their’s. What you own, it will be yours forever.
3.We compete our own selves and are never jealous of others like China is.
4.If your child is from IIT/BITS/IISc/IIM then he will be well recognised in colleges like Oxford, Harvard, Ivy league, Stanford etc. as a very smart and witty person.
5.You can enjoy 6 weathers. Many different cultures, Many cuisines, many serene beauty.
6.Love football? Yeah, though India is not recognised at international level though we have plenty of football grounds. Wanna watch football match? Spend hundred thousand rupees only and fly to Paris, watch a match, dine, fly back to India with lots of cookies for them.
7.Religious or atheist? No issues man.
8.Who the fuck said we don't have toilets? Those people must of some secluded villages! We have various types of toilets….waterhose, tissue paper..
9.Many kind of music!!! Many concerts!! In a year, you will have at least have 30 great movies which will leave you spellbound.
絕對是印度！
為什麼？
1.政客們上臺又下臺，但印度會以非常緩慢的步伐崛起。你應該擔心嗎？如果你一開始只買一輛豐田，那麼在未來10年內，你至少會擁有一輛奧迪或多輛豪車。
2.印度人沒有把別人的東西稱為自己的東西的習慣。你所擁有的，將永遠屬於你。
3.我們和自己競爭，從不像中國那樣嫉妒別人。
4.如果你的孩子來自IIT/BITS/IISc/IIM，那麼他在牛津、哈佛、常春藤盟校、斯坦福等大學也會被視為非常聰明和機智的人。
5.可以享受6種氣候。印度擁有許多不同的文化，許多不同的美食，許多寧靜的美景。
6.喜歡足球嗎？是的，雖然印度在國際水平上不被認可，但是我們有很多足球場。想看足球比賽嗎？只要花上10萬盧比，飛到巴黎看比賽，吃飯後再帶著許多曲奇餅飛回印度。
7.宗教人士或無神論者？都沒關係。
8.誰他媽的說我們沒有廁所？那些人肯定來自偏僻的村莊！我們有各種各樣的廁所……水管和衛生紙. .
9.各種類型的音樂!!許多音樂會! !一年內，你至少能觀看到30部讓你著迷的電影。
Aria Diehl, Countries YAY!
I am a super biased person as a disclaimer. As seen from my other answers I am feircly Indian. However I have to say. The answer is
China
China is a lot more developed than India. LIKE A LOT it is also cleaner. I am tempted to say safer but that isn't necessarily true.
China has much better infrastructure, much better access to goods (because they make a lot of them). It also has a higher quality of living. Especially in the cities.
I have a lot of friends in school from china.
I love India and will be moving there one day in the future. However for this question my answer has to be china.
我先聲明一下，我是一個超級有偏見的人。從我其他的回答可以看出，我是印度人。但是我不得不說，我的答案是：
中國
中國比印度發達得多，也更乾淨。我想說中國更安全，但這不一定真實。
中國擁有更發達的基礎設施，更容易獲得貨物(因為他們生產了很多)。中國也有更高的生活質量，尤其是在城市裡。
我在學校裡結交了很多來自中國的朋友。
我愛印度，將來有一天我會搬到那裡去。然而，對於這個問題，我的答案是中國。

Watch this video then ask yourself the question which country has the better standard of living.
Hangzhou is not even a Tier 1 city yet its standard of living is far better than anything in India right now, not even the best Indian city comes close to this let alone the best cities in China.
when more than half your country is in poverty and more than half lack toilets and you are trying to compare to China who has finished most of the millennium development goals and has cities that put Western cities to shame.
Tell me what matters more to a poor person, food or freedom of speech?
When questions like this get asked I laugh because either this person is highly ignorant and hasn’t been to China or is a troll.
So in my unbiased review China easily has a higher standard of living
看看這段視頻，然後問自己哪個國家的生活水平更高。
杭州還不算一線城市，但這裡的生活水平比印度任何地方都要好，印度最好的城市也比不上杭州，更不用說中國最一流的城市了。
你們國家一半以上的人尚處於貧困狀態，一半以上的人沒有廁所，卻自不量力試圖跟中國比，要知道中國已經完成了大部分的千年發展目標，很多城市都讓西方城市自愧不如。
告訴我對窮人而言什麼更重要，充足的食物還是言論自由？
當有人問我這樣的問題時，我笑了，因為這個人要麼很無知，沒去過中國，要麼就是個怪人。
所以要我公正說的話，中國的生活水平更高。
Kailash Kumar, Common man of India
Generally speaking, the country in which one is born, is the best country to live in.
Going by this logic, for an Indian, the best country to live in, is undoubtedly India. The same applies in the case of an individual born in China.
Culture including language, food habits and such other things play a very import role in one’s comfort level while living in any country though many people migrate to other countries due to better jobs opportunities available there.
Since the individuals have no role to play in determining as to whether in which country they will get born, comparison between two countries can be made only for academic discussion.
一般來說，你出生的國家是最適合居住的國家。
按照這個邏輯，對印度人來說，最適合居住的國家無疑是印度。這也同樣適用於在中國出生的個人。
文化，包括語言，飲食習慣等，在一個人生活在某個國家的舒適水平發揮著非常重要的作用，雖然許多人會為了更好的就業機會移民到其他國家。
由於個人無法決定他們出生在哪個國家，所以兩個國家之間的比較只能是學術討論。

India for many- this is unbiased.
The reason being I often feel uncomfortable when there is inhumane treatment of animals, I saw this first hand in China (which was shocking) this doesn't mean that I don't like China. I don't judge a whole population or country on certain incidents.
However, traveling in India for someone like me is more comfortable and I can feel at ease and relaxed that majority are vegetarian and have a deep respect for animals and take care of live stock. This is very important to me not only as a world nomad but as a human.
對很多人來說，是印度，不帶偏見。
因為當有不人道的對待動物，我經常感到不舒服，我看到中國有很多這樣的行為(令人震驚)，這並不意味著我不喜歡中國。我不會根據區區幾件事就評判一個國家或整個人口。
然而，在印度旅行對我這樣的人來說更舒服，我感到輕鬆自在，因為大多數人都是素食者，對動物有很深的尊重，照顧家畜。這對我來說非常重要。
Jonri Purwak, Been to Bejing, Shanghai, Hanzhou, Suzhou, Shenzhen, Macau, and Hong Kong.
I have never been to India, but I’m guessing China is more developed. Shanghai is comparable to developed cities, except for its dangerous traffic.
我從未去過印度，但我猜中國更發達。上海和發達城市差不多，除了交通有點危險。

China is now way ahead of infrastructure, like at least by a decade may be. India is picking up, but not fast enough. There at reasons for that too.
I lived in both the countries, for a decent period of time. The Chinese focus on making it big in number, no matter whatever it is. It's simply their mindset, their philosophy. It's just the way things are around for them. That is one reason that can be attributed to their success. It's their relentlessness.
And that success overall within the nation gives you (as a citizen) the feeling that you are a strong country, you have a certain acceptable quality of life. The infrastructure that you see in China speaks for itself. They were nowhere close to being lazy in developing their country. They marched way ahead of any western country you can imagine in such a short time, including the United States where I come from. Some cities in China make you feel like you are in the future. Boy they spent a lot. For drinking and nightlife, China scores way ahead of India. There is no match to it.
中國現在在基礎設施建設方面遙遙領先，至少在未來十年是這樣。印度經濟正在復甦，但速度還不夠快。這也是有原因的。
我在這兩個國家都住過一段相當長的時間。中國人關注的是數量上的增長。這是他們的心態，他們的哲學。對他們來說，這很正常。這是他們成功的一個原因。這是他們的義無反顧。
這個國家整體的成功讓你(作為一個公民)感覺這是一個強大的國家，你有不錯的生活質量。他們在發展自己的國家時一點也不偷懶。他們在如此短的時間內走在了任何你能想象到的西方國家前面，包括我的祖國-美國。中國的一些城市讓你覺得你已身處未來。在飲酒和夜生活方面，中國遠遠領先於印度，無可匹敵。

I am not disagreeing with other answers but as an Indian who is working in China i consider myself more eligible to answer this question.
I would be blunt with you here if by best country you mean standard of living than India is decades behind China even a Chinese who live in slum enjoy standard of living equal to that of a lower middle class Indian such is a gap between two nations.
Moreover China is performing better than India in almost everything whether it is infrastructure,healthcare,education,research or development,lower crime rate or anything
我並不反對其他的答案，但是作為一個在中國工作的印度人，我認為我更有資格回答這個問題。
如果你所說的最好的國家是指生活水平，印度已落後中國幾十年，那我在這裡就直言不諱了。
此外，無論在基礎設施、醫療、教育、研究或開發、低犯罪率或其他方面，中國幾乎在所有方面都比印度表現得更好。
