Getting all that isn't entirely in our hands, it depends on (((foreign cooperation))) to start with.
In the 80s and 90s China got that in droves, Deep State and Corporates were entirely in sync, signing FTAs with China, getting them in WTO and appeasing them in general.
Here nobody wants FTA with us among the consooming countries, being insistent on us allowing agricultural imports knowing we won't agree, export competitiveness is nowhere are close as the SEAsian countries.
Before Gobi we also had a total sellout class of politicians/bureaucrats allowing the dhandhos to import everything instead of buying local since it was so cheep, domestic producers could never compete, today in mobile phone manufacturing whatever you see is because we have hiked duties on direct imports so you have assembly shops atleast and Samsung/Apple export some portion of the production because it meets their own corporate objectives.
others just have their big production/assembly sites in Vietnam.
China also has the unique benefit of no elections, no freebies and not "socialist" drama, they can afford to give generous subsidies and loans to factories, and workers just work without going for union chimpouts that are hard even for politicos like Stalin to stamp out.
They can build and overbuild Infra because there are no mob protests and no PILs filed and no Meelards freezing land acquisition or infra building.
