> places like India

I had the impression that India is quickly turning rich enough to say no to things like this.

Never underestimate the poverty of India. India is huge and while in some places there are bubbles of wealth, it's still a third-world country.

India is a lot like Russia in that its people and standards of living are very different from place to place. China, despite a larger size and similar population is more culturally uniform than India, especially once you go in more remote areas.

(this is not a diss on India, i think that make the country much more interesting)

Yes but this sentiment has held true since before the CCP.
