The Chinese & Indian Dynasties

Both China and India were in Bureaucracies at the same time; while the Mauryan and Gupta dynasties were ruling in India, The Qin and Han dynasties were ruling in China. If you are to speak of success while comparing these two, you will find that the Chinese were more "up there" in terms of success. Both dynasties from China, in comparison to India's were noticeably more centralized. Centralized government in China lead to better political organization, while India only had their power distributed between allies. Another very important thing that the Chinese had that the Indian didn't was standardization, (measurements, language, etc.). A large part of the ancient Indian dynasties was spending the majority of tax money on soldiers, even during peace; while the Chinese spent their tax money on their essentials.
