There's no end of China's childish jealousy against India. Instead of constructively coping with India's rise as a political, economic, and military power, its kleptomanic leaders and half-educated media tigers have been fuming and threatening like rustic school boys.
Now, there is another matter that has raised their heckles.
According to the Earth's City Lights, a NASA project to map urbanisation across the world, India shines brighter than China at night. Reacting to this, in a report on July21, China's state-sponsored People Daily Online came up with an explanation to prove "India looks brighter than China on a map, but really it's not." The report quoting Shanghai-based media outlet 'The Paper' says India appears brighter than China at night because the former has more plains and surrounded by seas on three sides. In India, plains account for the 40% of total land while it is only 12 percent in the case of China.
