Vishal, there already is one thread on this topic - check link
We could discuss Indian v/s Chinese ecomony in Business forum or Geo-Politics in the Strategic & Security forums. Or we can compare, contrast both the cultures/civilizations in History forum.
Typically don't like to open thread solely based on what someone said in some forum. But for now, will let it stand.
As for the post by chinese:

Absolute hogwash. But there is an element of truth to the statment "China is not an Emotion Driven Nation" - any autocratic regime rarely would come across as a 'emotion driven nation'. We all know as to how well they hide their 'emotions' (read human rights, fuzzy economics, concealing SARS outbreak etc) while our DDM just looks for an opportunity to hang out our dirty laundry for public display. Those tanks in Tianamen square concealed everything rotten in the state of China.
They might have culture as ancient as India but can they hold a candle to India's achievements? Chinkcoms are now correcting their text books which has fudged all these years that their wall was visible from moon. Sounds like sour grapes if they are not 'gloating' over their past.

Point to them their outstanding issues like Taiwan or Tibet and see how quickly they curl up into their own "history". China has a good two decades of lead compared to India in terms of economic reforms so your Chinese friend might have something to gloat but the jury's still out on their 'current accomplishment'.

Intimate without being friendly like in one night stand? Might be applicable for Pakistan not Hindustan.
