For many years, the Western media and observers have discussed the potential rise of China and India in terms of their massive future potential. However, it is time for the rest of the world to update its thinking because the future has arrived even faster than expected. In the decades to come, the economies of China and India will go from participating in global economic flows to determining their shape and direction.

Throughout history, both China and India have made significant contributions to the global GDP, with each accounting for about a quarter to a third of it. This was largely due to their large populations. However, in the 19th century, there was a sudden shift when the United States and Europe experienced rapid industrialization, leading to an increase in productivity and, subsequently, a significant increase in their share of the global GDP.
