What is included in the national strength, and the ranking of national power?

What does the country's comprehensive strength include? More than 2,000 years ago, this conversation between Wei Ying and Qin Xiaogong gave the answer.

National strength refers to a country's comprehensive national strength, that is, its total strength. The following are important indicators of a country's strength.

The hard indicators are: 1. Land area. The size of the country's land area is the main measure to distinguish large and small countries. It is the natural condition of the strength and weakness of a country.

2. Total land and resources. Land resources include the total amount of underground resources and the total amount of surface resources. The total amount of underground resources includes the total reserves of all underground natural resources such as coal, oil, steel, ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, non-metals, etc.

The total amount of surface resources includes the number of acres of land, the total amount of water resources, the total amount of forests, etc. It is the natural condition of the strength and weakness of a country.

3. Total population and quality. Including the total population. National quality (soft index), national education level (soft index). Cultural composition of the population (soft indicators).

4. Economic aggregate. Including gross domestic product. These include:

1. Total GDP, 2, **, 3. Total industrial output, total agricultural output, such as power generation, total railways, highways, grain, steel, petroleum, coal, cement, automobiles and other major products annual output.

5. The level of scientific and technological development. This is an important indicator. It is also a composite indicator.

It is an important yardstick to illustrate a country's advanced and backward status. Among them, aerospace, aviation, navigation, nuclear energy, agriculture, medicine, electronics, machinery, chemical industry, and military industry can represent the level of scientific and technological development of a country.

6. National living standards. It is an indicator of how rich and poor a country is.

7. National defense forces. The strength of national defense strength reflects the level of development of a country's military science and technology and military industry. It highly reflects the level of cutting-edge scientific and technological development of a country.

8. People's education level (soft indicator).

Other soft indicators are: social ideology, national consciousness, and so on.

According to the view of Joseph Nye, a professor at Harbin University in the United States, a country's comprehensive national strength includes not only the "hard power" expressed by its economic, scientific and technological, and military strength, but also the "soft power" embodied by its cultural and ideological attractiveness. Fundamentally speaking, a country's stubbornness lies in the overall enhancement of its comprehensive national strength. The so-called "soft power" refers to the international influence and appeal of a country's culture, values, social system and development model.

Compared with the specific hard power such as gross national product, scientific research achievements and conversion rate, and national defense strength, philosophy and social sciences also belong to the category of national "soft power".

It includes not only the "hard power" embodied by the economy, science and technology, and military strength, but also the "soft power" embodied by the attractiveness of culture and values, social systems, development models, lifestyles, ideologies, etc.

Military, national strength, economy, quality of the people.

Country power rankings: the United States, China, Russia, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Japan, India, Australia, Italy, etc.

When it comes to the ranking of comprehensive national strength, the first and second must be the United States and China, these two countries are both soft power and hard power, are beyond those countries behind a large section, of course, the strength of the first place exceeds the second place by a large section We also have to admit, after all, at present, the gap between the two countries is indeed very large.

According to public information, there are 10,000 officers and soldiers on active duty in the United States, and 10,000 reserve troops of various types. The United States has multilateral and bilateral military treaties with more than 50 countries and regions in the world, has more than 800 overseas bases and facilities, provides military assistance to 40 countries and regions, and has foreign aid military training plans with more than 90 countries and regions.

In third place, I think it is still Russia, the United States spends more than 20 billion US dollars on nuclear ** every year, even if the cost of Russia's nuclear arsenal is lower, it will not be less than 10 billion US dollars, Russia's annual military spending is less than 50 billion US dollars, and the nuclear arsenal is spent at least 20%, and after excluding the normal expenditure of the army and equipment maintenance, Russia's annual equipment procurement cost is less than 10 billion US dollars, which is why Russia has not been able to catch up with China and the United States in equipment renewal.

On January 3, 2023, the "2022 Ranking of the World's Strongest Countries" released by U.S. News and World Report showed that the United States ranked first in the world, followed by China, Russia, Germany, the United Kingdom, South Korea, France, Japan, the United Arab Emirates and Israel.

Unlike in the past, this time the ranking seems to be calculated in a more objective way, based on interviews with about 10,000 people in 36 countries, taking into account each country's economic indicators, military capabilities, political influence, international allies and overall leadership.

A country's comprehensive national strength often determines the development resources and environment that the country can obtain, and can support the country's peace and security system. The comprehensive national strength is composed of many aspects, including economy, military, education, veterans, science and technology, diplomacy, and so on.

It is worth noting that before this, the United States or potato would have a similar comprehensive national power ranking every year, but this time it was different, China surpassed Russia to become the second largest power in the world after the United States, and Japan came behind South Korea.

The embodiment of the strength of our country

Economic power: China has become the world's second-largest economy and leads the world in some areas. China's economic aggregate, per capita GDP and foreign exchange reserves rank among the top in the world.

In 2019, China's economic growth rate remained stable at more than 6%, showing a sustained growth trend.

Scientific and technological innovation: China has also made significant progress in the field of science and technology, and has made a series of breakthroughs in the fields of 5G communication technology, artificial intelligence, and quantum computing, and has a strong leading advantage. In addition, China has also performed well in areas such as space technology, satellite navigation and high-speed rail.

Political power: China is a developed socialist country that maintains long-term political stability and social harmony. China has made a lot of efforts to build a national governance system and modernize its governance capacity, and plays an important role in a number of international organizations.

The five most powerful countries in the world today are the five permanent members of the United Nations: the United States, China, Russia, the United Kingdom, and France.

The five permanent members of the United Nations are the most powerful countries in the world today and have enormous influence in the world. Other countries are basically "deformed" powers, such as Japan, the third largest economic power, with basically zero political influence, and India, the second most populous country, can only be a regional power in the Indian Ocean or South Asia, etc.

Since it is regarded as a world power, it has equal comprehensive national strength, otherwise it is a self-proclaimed world power. This kind of reciprocal comprehensive national strength is all the strength that a country must possess for its survival and sustainable development, including economy, industry, population, politics, military, science and technology, culture, and international influence.

Introduction:

1. The five permanent members of the United Nations have relatively strong economic strength, except for Russia, the other four countries are in the top ten, and Russia's economic strength is suspected of being seriously underestimated, after all, it is suppressed by the United States and the dollar, and Russia's dollar GDP has been seriously "shrunk" according to the exchange rate between the dollar and the ruble.

2. All have a veto power.

Don't underestimate this power, you can greatly follow your own strategic interests in major global affairs, so other countries will "tie up" these five countries, after all, in this trend of increasingly close global ties, their own development is inseparable from economic "globalization", and it is inevitable to deal with other countries, and this power of the five permanent members of the Security Council often determines their own position in globalization.

The United States --- the world's largest military power and the world's largest economic power. China --- the world's second-largest economy.

Russia --- the second largest military power in the world.

The world's five long-term members: the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Russia, and China.

Are you going to be arrogant again? Don't say I'm not patriotic, but our country still needs to work harder. Now that the international situation is very serious, I think it is necessary to be appropriately sober-minded.

It's okay to scare others, but if you don't even know yourself, then you are not far from the country, you know, before the nuclear ** came out, the world has always been not peaceful, it is full of war.

USA, China, Russia, Great Britain, France. These five countries.

The United States, China, Russia, the United Kingdom, France, etc.
