Why do small countries like to call themselves big powers?

The size of the country is relative.

I don't think anyone in the world has yet been able to give an absolute "great power standard".

No one can draw a line on this matter and tell everyone that those who meet this standard are called big countries, and those who can't reach them are called small countries.

I don't know what you think of as a big country or a small country.

But what is clear is that under different judging criteria, what you call a small country can be a big country.

As a simple example, if we use the size of the country, then a country with a small land area is a small country.

And if we measure it by economic or military strength, this small country can also be judged as a large country because of its superiority in these two aspects.

From this point of view, it is actually very normal for these small countries in your eyes to call themselves big countries.

In addition to this, there may be other reasons for small countries to call themselves great powers.

For example, in order to build national pride, in order to strengthen the people's confidence in the country's development, and so on.

In today's world, where is the pluralism of judging criteria, if a country cannot find a reason to call itself a "great power" from any angle, then where does the national pride of the people of that country come from?

It is very important for any country to find its reasons to be a "great power".

That's why a small country in your eyes calls itself a big one.

The major countries are: the United States, the Russian Federation, the People's Republic of China, the United Kingdom, the European Union (including France and Germany), Japan, India, and Brazil.

Contemporary powers, also known as great powers or powers, refer to countries that have the greatest advantage in power resources in the international system. It has strong geopolitical power, influence and international standing, which is second to none in the region, and can influence other countries.

Power resources, also known as comprehensive national strength, include the material power necessary for a country to exert influence on other countries, such as military capabilities and economic strength; and the attraction of cultures, values, institutions, and lifestyles in the context of non-material power, a concept that is widely used today, soft national power.

In all of these areas, a country may have a clear advantage over the rest of the system, and its projection of military and economic power is global. For example, during the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union were known as superpowers

Extended Materials. Setting standards:

1. Generally accepted.

There is no clear and precise definition of what constitutes a superpower, and different sources** will say it differently. Therefore, the following criteria may not be considered to be generally accepted factors associated with becoming a superpower.

The country must have a strong cultural integration, be suitable for the survival and development of various civilizations, and have the capacity and scale to influence world culture.

3. Geographical factors.

The country has to control a vast land or sea area. The vast expanse of land allows a country to become self-sufficient through mining, growing food, etc. This is a very important factor, a country with vast strategic depth, its military can calmly retreat, reorganize and counterattack in a ground nuclear war or a traditional land war.

4. Economy and finance.

Superior economic power is a must-have for a superpower. First of all, it has to enjoy the advantages of raw materials, in addition, the size and productivity of the domestic market is also an indicator. It is also essential to be a leader in the world** and global financial markets.

At the same time, it should also have the dynamism of reform, as well as the ability to accumulate capital.

A superpower should have a large number of educated citizens, a highly developed infrastructure, a high degree of cultural and economic capacity to keep nearby areas under its direct control.

8. Scientific and technological factors.

With strong scientific and technological strength and scientific and technological innovation capabilities, it can lead the trend of scientific and technological development in the world.

1) In terms of land area: China is a big country.

Reason: China is 9.6 million square kilometers, ranking third in the world after Russia and Canada.2) In terms of total population: China is a big country.

Reason: 1.4 billion people, ranking first in the world.

3) Economically: China is a big country.

Reason: In 2018, China's total GDP ranked first in the world, and in 2018, China's GDP ranked second in the world.

Reason: China is one of the five permanent members of the United Nations and has the right of veto 5) From the level of civilization: China is a big country.

Reason: Chinese civilization is the only great power in the world that has not been interrupted in the past 5,000 years (the rest of ancient India, ancient Egypt, and ancient Babylon have been fractured and destroyed).

6) The rest of science and technology, education, transportation, military, sports, etc. are all stable in the top three positions in the world.

According to the above data: every nation and country in the world recognizes China as a great power, so the conclusion: China is a real great power, and it has always been for 5,000 years!

China, of course, is a big country. And also a very strong country. Look at our economic development. Look at the lives of our people. Everywhere is a scene that reflects prosperity and strength.

China's land area is the third largest in the world, its comprehensive strength is also among the highest in the world, and its total resources and military strength should not be underestimated. However, there is still a slight gap between us and the developed countries in terms of some new and high technologies and per capita aggregates, but this must not affect China's status as a big country.

China is a small country! In terms of population ratio, that is, neighboring countries do not have the character of a great power: for example, if a foreign country occupies Chinese land, China will eventually only need 1 10. The demarcation line between China and South Korea, the Yellow Sea, and so on, don't be blown by the domestic brainlessness.

Today's China is undoubtedly a big country in terms of population, economy, science and technology, land, national defense, and politics. aqui te amo。

The size, the size of the population, the hard power and soft power of the country are all big countries, and they are still one of the five permanent members of the United Nations, you say.

What are you referring to? In terms of basic fields, China is undoubtedly a big country, ranking among the top in the world in terms of population, area, and total GDP.

However, in terms of scientific and technological innovation capabilities and per capita income, it is indeed inferior to some developed countries. But I want to say that even if China is not as good as developed countries in these aspects, it will definitely not enter the ranks of small countries, many people have very opinions on China's social security, but they do not take into account that China is a developing country after all, and in the ranks of developing countries, China's overall social security is still good. Although the medical security capacity cannot be compared with Europe, it depends on who it is compared with.

Even the United States, the largest country, has not achieved a universal health care system.

I also want to say more about the quality of the population, after all, the Chinese population is large, the scale of overseas tourism is large, relatively speaking, the proportion of people with low quality is high, Indians want to have low quality, but how many people in India travel abroad a year? Of course, there is indeed a gap in quality compared to Europe and the United States, and Japan is a fact of the city.

Many people say that China has no diplomacy and no prestige, but this is pure nonsense, and many countries are looking forward to the United States, and these small countries just expect to engage in confrontation with China and then receive economic and military aid from the United States, and it is precisely because China has the ability to challenge the United States that it is vulnerable to fraud in the international community.

If high-tech, aerospace, and gold medals are all big countries, but the quality of the population, the overall level of development of the people, and the per capita GDP are all just average, but sooner or later, China will become stronger.

With a land area of 9.6 million square kilometers, 1.3 billion Chinese citizens, a glorious history of civilization of 5,000 years, and a national spirit of unremitting self-improvement, China is one of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council and has a decisive international influence.

China is a large country in terms of territory, small resources (the development of the South China Sea may be able to reverse this situation), a large population, a small economy, and a military quasi-power.

On the map is a big country.

In terms of human dignity, it is a small country, and it is not even as good as a Goryeo stick.

Such a result is caused by the rulers.

Small country What kind of bullying China with the Olympics Britain has.
