Trust me, whatever the leaders say, there is a big competition between India and China. India is leading in terms of quality human capital but China is way ahead of us in terms of infrastructure. We need better transportation system and bucketfuls of energy supplies in long term. We are tapping all available sources, but a dwindling global oil supply and steep growth of the Indian economy has led to an imbalance between the supply and demand of energy here.However, in case of China, they have a steady supply of nuclear fuel in a long term.
