When will China be considered a developed country?

The concept of developed countries only appeared after World War II!

Western European countries, Northern European countries, the United States, and Japan have been developed countries since the concept emerged!! You have to ask how many years it took, even if you count how many years it took them to build the country.

Therefore, there is no question of how long it took for Western Europe, the Nordic countries, the United States, and Japan to become developed countries.

It's still too early for China to become a developed country, and I'm afraid you and I won't see it in our lifetimes.

Moreover, China certainly does not want to become a developed country, so that many policy preferences in the world will not be able to enjoy. This is the main problem that China faces as a developed country.

In 1996, Singapore was recognized as a developed country by the United Nations Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, and Singapore was very dissatisfied with this, and after some negotiations, Singapore finally succeeded in removing itself from the ranks of developed countries.

In fact, there are some countries that want to include China as a developed country. If China develops in the future, there will definitely be more countries that want to list China as a developed country. China certainly does not want to be a developed country. I'm afraid this struggle will go on for a long, long time!

I believe that the day you die is not possible. At present, China's per capita income and GDP are more than 10 times different from that of developed countries.

I have always wondered what the "developed countries" can bring us. It's a hat, or an endless stream of beef.

After 30 years of development, I believe that I will definitely see this day in my lifetime.

I'm looking forward to it, too! It is expected to be the middle of the twenty-first century.

China will enter the developed country around 2035. There are many standards in developed countries, and many countries with high GDP per capita are single.

First, the uneven distribution of wealth and the insufficient level of productivity will not allow it to become a developed country. And we are completely different in China, with a huge population, we rely on industrialization.

Profiles of developed countries

Developed countries, also known as developed countries and advanced countries. It refers to those countries with a high level of economic and social development and a high standard of living for the people, also known as countries with high economic development.

The general characteristics of developed countries are high human development indicators, per capita gross national product, industrialization, and quality of life. High per capita GNP and human development indices can also be achieved through the exploitation of natural resources, but they do not necessarily belong to developed countries.

At present, the standards of developed countries include: high level of industrialization, highly developed level of productivity, and high level of science and technology; GDP per capita of more than $20,000; The level of social development is high, the illiteracy rate is low, and the standard of living is high. In addition, in addition to GDP, there are other criteria for judging developed countries, such as the country's industrial structure, industrial development level, scientific and technological level, etc.

The jury is still out on whether China can become a developed country at this stage. However, China has met the standards of some developed countries, such as a per capita GDP of more than 20,000 US dollars, a high degree of internationalization of economic development, and a high level of foreign trade and exports. However, in order to become a country that develops small and filial piety, it also needs to complete other standards, such as the upgrading of the manufacturing industry, the need to improve urbanization, and the internationalization of the renminbi.

Some experts believe that by 2049, China can be confidently said to be a developed country.

When will China get rid of its status as a developing country and truly become a developed country?

It is common to see whether a country is a developed country from per capita GDP and per capita national income.

Let's take a look at the current data.

In 2016, the per capita GDP of Chinese was 8,123 US dollars, close to the United States, Germany, France, Japan in the late 70s, the United Kingdom in the early 80s, and South Korea in the early 90s.

In 2015, the per capita disposable income of urban residents in China was about US$5,060, while the per capita disposable income of U.S. residents in the same period was US$42,400.

At this time, the per capita disposable income of Chinese residents was equivalent to 12% of the level of the United States, 26% of the level of Japan, 35% of the level of South Korea, and 17% of the level of the United Kingdom in the same period, which was about the same as the level of the United States in the early 70s of the last century.

Expert opinion. There is a saying that China should become a developed country around 2030, because by that time it is possible that China's economy will surpass the United States and become the world's first.

However, China has a population of more than 1.3 billion, and from the perspective of national governance, the internal structure still faces great imbalance and inequality challenges. So, you can't just look at the total. Even if China's economy becomes the number one, it will not be possible to form a new society with a uniform middle class like a country with a single population structure.

Therefore, Professor Yang Guangbin, dean of the School of International Relations at Renmin University of Chinese, believes that the process of China becoming a developed country may be long. Our real goal is not 2030, nor the first 100, but the second 100 in 2049. At that time, we can confidently say that China is not a developing country but a developed country.

However, some experts and scholars believe that China's national conditions are different, and the indicators measured are naturally different. A specific indicator of whether China is a developed country is the 70 percent urbanization rate.

Fang Ning, director of the Institute of Political Science of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that judging from per capita GDP and per capita national income alone is very limited to China's national conditions. It will only be successful when China reaches 70% urbanization and stabilizes, and all of these urban populations enjoy the same national treatment.

There are now a large number of peasant workers in China, who are workers in the cities, and who are peasants when they return to the countryside. If China can smoothly advance to an urbanization rate of more than 70%, that is, 70% of Chinese can stabilize in the cities and enjoy the same national treatment, the most difficult hurdle in Chinese society will pass.

So what is the current urbanization rate in China?

According to Huatai's Li Chao team, China's urbanization rate in 2016 was close to that of Britain in 1851, the United States in 1930, Japan in 1955 and South Korea in 1980.

Compared with the high history of urbanization development in various countries, China's urbanization process will still be in a stage of rapid development in the next five years.

With the development of globalization, becoming a developed country has become a common goal pursued by the people of all countries.

The criteria for becoming a developed country mainly include economy, education, science and technology, medical care, culture and other aspects. First of all, in terms of economy, to become a developed country, it must have a strong economic strength, that is, a per capita gross domestic product (GDP) of a certain level, and at the same time, it must be able to maintain a high growth rate, and have sufficient foreign exchange reserves and surpluses. Second, in terms of education, developed countries must have relatively complete education systems and high levels of education, including basic education, vocational education and higher education.

Technology and medical care must also keep up, with advanced and efficient technology and medical facilities to improve the quality of life of the people. At the same time, developed countries should also be characterized by cultural diversity and social stability.

As a big country, China has been moving towards the goal of becoming a developed country. In recent years, China has made great progress in the economy, education, science and technology, and medical care. Especially in terms of economy, China's GDP has surpassed Japan to become the world's second largest economy, while also playing an increasingly important role on the international stage.

In terms of education, China is also continuously strengthening the construction of basic education and vocational education, and has gained a good reputation around the world. Technology has always been the key development direction of China's leading enterprises and enterprises, and China's progress in artificial intelligence, 5G and other fields has also attracted much attention in recent years. In terms of healthcare, China's medical facilities and technology are also constantly improving to provide higher quality medical services to the people.

However, there are a number of issues that need to be addressed in order to become a developed country. For example, China still has problems such as slowing economic growth, aging population, and environmental pollution, which need to be solved by the joint efforts of the people and the people. At the same time, China also needs to strengthen its innovation capacity and technological level in some areas, and strengthen the protection of intellectual property rights.

Overall, China has made great progress on the road to becoming a developed country, but it still needs to continue its efforts. Only by continuously solving problems, strengthening innovation, and improving people's living standards can China become a truly developed country.
