It is simply a fact. The claim Cathay is in need of cash injections as stated above is incorrect.
On a side note, apart from making a comparison a bit out of context in my opinion, you are not correct to assume that the British rule in India ended suddenly, quite the opposite actually. The fight for independence lasted for years, decades if you include the Montagu-Chelmsford reforms 1919 or even the foundation of the Indian Nationalist Congress in 1885. The famous salt march was 1930, 17 years before the declaration of independence 1947.
