China and India had similar levels of poverty 50 years ago.

How come China today is so different from India today? In terms of cleanliness and poverty elimination specifically.

I know China liberalized in the 80’s and India in the 90’s. So you could say that’s a 10 year difference.

But China 10 years ago was still very different from India even today.

Does anyone have any ideas?
