What is good for us?

Almost everyday we hear of China completing projects with the same speed at which MPs in our country rush to the well of the Parliament. Be it completing the first railway line to Tibet or building the Three Gorges Dam or something as recent as deploying an army of Janitors; In India we have examples of the jinxed Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway, the mothballed Enron project or the Iran Pakistan India pipeline.

My query is: What is lacking in our current leadership OR is it something in the Chinese leadership that has gone amiss?

PS: I am already expecting replies on the lines of - "You do not talk about the Delhi Metro Rail or the Golden Quadrilateral" or "You do not talk about summary trials and execution of offenders in China".
