India above China? Do those many Chinese citizens believe in using capitalism to develop the productive forces to the point of seeing it as a net positive in a world where Socialism has already existed and thrived?

I don't know...
CPC members surely do but no country, no matter how democratic, has ever ran on a the basis of the whole population being very involved in politics
Ultimately a ton of people wish to simply be represented, and they usually do when their lives are alright so they might as well have bad analysis it doesn't matter much

stick to the western friendly areas?
People in India are actually experiencing the brutality of capitalism, while Chinese people are living their best life in a cozy socialist state. They don't know what it's like.

BJP, Hindu nationalism, et al have a hold on the country at the moment. But I could absolutely see something pop off in India this century. It has a “Russia in the 1870s” vibe to me.

India even has at least one state with strong communist presence (Kerala), iirc it's been governed by a communist coalition for a while
