Ever since China and India began to reform their planned economies in the 1980s, the world has watched as two quite differenct development success stories have unfolded. One side has been China's rapid economic growth and remarkable achievements in poverty alleviation and diplomatic power.

Today the two countries, which together account for 40 percent of the global population, are emerging as the new great powers of the twenty-first century.
