This implies Communism is more efficient (China's brand of it), than slow-growing Democracy.

Your conclusion implies that the main determinant of economic growth for China and India was their political systems. Other things (wars, ethnic turmoil, equality of sexes, etc.) also play a large part in helping/hurting a country's economic growth.

I would say a better comparison would be China versus Taiwan. In that case you've got the same people in two different political systems, and clearly capitalist Taiwan has outgrown Communist China.

China isn't very communist anymore. It still has elements of communism left but also has more and more capitalism. When it was solidly communist it didn't have a lot of wealth to spread around. Not it has a lot more wealth than it used to have but it is also much less evenly spread.
