Solution

a) China has succeeded in placing greater reliance on industrial sector compared to India and Pakistan. It is perhaps owing to GLF a campaign launched in China in 1958 focusing on widespread industrialization of the country, encouraging people to set-up household industries in their backyard, and policy of reforms and opening up launched in 1978 which gave a big push to China's manufacturing exports.

b) One child policy in China, adopted since 1979, has reduced the growth rate of the population to nearly half, from 1.33% in 1979 to 0.64% in 2005. Controlling its population growth rate, China can now focus on the quality of life rather than the sustenance of its people.
