Some people here just act like pokis claiming they have 300b gdp and better than India and so forth and if we do the same without some level of objectivity on how we compare to hans in reality then we become butt jokes. As I said many times, first hand experience, China's infra is at a different level. Problem with us is corruption at all levels including people that abuse and act without civic conscience when using any facilities. Other than some top level 30 to 50k Rs night in five star hotel, we got nothing world class at this point. Maintenance is after thought and no idiot from janitor to IAS take their job seriously...The claim is 100% bullshit and does not pass any basic common sense test. What india classifies as a road is things that do not exist in both USA and China. In both country, even village and rural roads are properly built to 2 lane + paved shoulders with proper lane markings. In India majority of rural roads are just a layer of asphalt. Granted previously it was mud road so it is still a big improvement, but the government is making a big mistake not properly building these rural roads to high standards from the beginning, especially with vehicle sales skyrocketing.
Also China is easily 100 years ahead in rural development, and have more or less caught up with euro countries (especially eastern europoors) and US. You can all this video cherrypicked, but can you even create a 7h long drive video in any part of India that looks like this? Notice how clean and smooth the road is + consistent lane markings throughout the entire video. There is also little to no mud/sand/dust on footpaths as they have been concretized. There is very little litter/rubbish on the roadsides and streets. there seem to be hundreds of dustbins (something completely absent in India). The crazy part is maybe 15 years ago or in the 2000s, these areas would have been undistinguishable from rural India today.
Where China lags is relatively low manners from a society point of view but that is very relative. Outside Japan, you will not find that level of society being mindful in Asia anywhere. Spitting, picking nose, being loud, some littering all different degrees in China, Korea and other countries (Singapore is an exception somewhat)
