The Hindustan Times reported on November 8 that a woman in India shared her travel experiences in China on the social media platform X, triggering widespread discussions among Indian netizens. On November 7, X platform user Somya shared an image of a Chinese road and wrote, "I stayed in China for ten days and did not see any potholes or damaged roads." The post quickly went viral, accumulating over 4 million views and more than 3,300 comments. Most netizens praised China's infrastructure in their comments, calling it a model of "efficient planning and regular maintenance." As the discussion deepened, the topic gradually shifted to the comparison between China and India's infrastructure. One user commented, "They are decades ahead of us. Of course, you can't question the government there." Another user attached a photo of roads in India filled with potholes, accompanied by text: "In case you miss home, take a look at your homeland's 'characteristic'." In subsequent replies, Somya added, "Although the road conditions in China are good, the usage cost is not low." She gave an example: a 130-kilometer journey requires a toll fee of 204 yuan (about 2,600 rupees), which is almost equivalent to the 237 yuan (about 2,900 rupees) taxi fare.
