Klein talks about China a bit in The Shock Doctrine. Her analysis is that:
Deng started to pursue market liberalization and privatization (and got support from the US, IMF, World Bank).
Protests and uprisings began demanding democratic process on policies that were causing rising prices and unemployment (e.g. Tiananmen Square).
The CCP decided to crush the protests rather than institute democratic reforms
The end result being that the market was opened to foreign firms wanting labour, with a huge population who were terrified to demand any labor rights at all and a government fairly encouraging of foreign corporates/capital.
Not sure how that compares to India, is there just an aspect of timing of when neoliberal reforms were first rammed through in each country?
