How similar the Soviet Union in the 70s was to China today

How similar the USSR in the 70s was to today's China is a very complex question, as the similarity can depend on many factors, such as political, economic, cultural, and historical backgrounds, among others.

However, it is certain that both the USSR and China experienced rapid economic growth and modernization in the 70s and today, achieving great economic success. Both the USSR and China implemented similar socialist systems in the 70s, which may not have been fully suited to the development needs of both countries at that time, but they to some extent stimulated the development momentum of both countries.

In addition, both countries faced similar development challenges in the 70s, such as population pressure, resource scarcity, environmental pollution, etc. Today's China is facing similar problems, such as an aging population, environmental pollution, social inequality, and economic structural transformation.

Therefore, it can be said that the USSR in the 70s and China today have similarities in some respects, but these similarities do not fully apply to the development needs of both countries.

There is a lot of similarity, and I agree with that.

Like what. Economically, they are the second in the world.

In terms of comprehensive strength, they have reached the strongest in history.

However, in other areas, there is not much to say about the more sensitive ones.

In the early 90s of the 20th century, not long after the drastic changes in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, China was really nervous for a while, and there were many lessons learned from the disintegration of the Soviet Union. Now, nearly 20 years later, China has gained a foothold in the post-Cold War world, and the money in its hands continues to grow. In the eyes of many people, China has shaken off the shadow of the drastic changes in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.

In my opinion, there is no period in the Soviet Union that has been the most neglected in the past like the Soviet Union under Brezhnev (1964-1982), but it is the most worthy of reference for China today.

It can probably be ranked in the top ten, and now it is the 21st century, and it cannot be compared, if you have to say that, it can be said that it is still a few powerful countries, because nuclear weapons alone are extremely deterrent.

I personally judge that the military strength of the USSR in the 70s is now in second place!

First of all, the United States is undeniably the first place - because the USSR has not developed for decades! Since 1964, 5.5 million troops in the whole army have been mechanized and armored, which is now the closest China, but it has not reached this level! At present, China is only armored by special divisions and regiments in sensitive areas, and the equipment of the navy, army and air force is also imported, and it is equipped with Soviet Russia back then, such as the 99 tank, the Su-27 Mi-29, and the navy's 169, as well as the Liaoning, which were the same hardware as Soviet Russia!

The reason why the Soviet Union was a developed country and then the lack of daily necessities was caused by the fact that in order to reach the level of equipment in the United States, 70 percent of the heavy industry in the Soviet Union served the ...... of the armyIt's unimaginable! More than 10 countries depend on help to run it! Quite now, it's not an aircraft carrier, the tens of billions of expenses of the Divine Eight, but trillions!

The Soviet Union can rank 1st (military), the world economy ranks 4th to 8th, people's livelihood ranks 4th, light industry is in the upper middle class, and agriculture is also the same. Aerospace, like Trump in the United States, tied for first place.

Military first, economy, fourth to eighth, people's livelihood is average, aerospace and the United States are tied for first, and the national strength is the same as Russia

According to Putin's pre-Christmas statement, Russia's national economy is now among the top five in the world, and the number of nuclear bombs ranks first in the world, surpassing the United States, but this statement is not recognized by the international community.

During the Cold War, the Soviet Union and the United States were G2, and the Soviet Union's status at that time was slightly higher than China's current status.

At that time the United States was on the defensive, and there were only two poles in the world - the United States, the Soviet Union. And now it's the 21st century, it can't be compared, if you have to say why, it can be said that it is still a few powers, because nuclear weapons alone are extremely deterrent.

In the seventies, the USSR was the richest in selling oil, and the science and technology of the USSR would not be too bad. Why don't you compare us to the United States? How can Guan Yunchang compare with Qin Qiong.

You only have to think about when the first person went to space to get a rough estimate of how many countries can send people into space today.

The industrial level is the first in the world, and the military power can single-handedly challenge the whole world.

Without experts, you can compare Russia today.

Russia has been in decay for decades, and its national economy is only the size of China's Guangdong Province, but it still holds the second place in the world in terms of comprehensive national power thanks to the military legacy left to it by the Soviet Union, although these legacies are almost rotten.

Late 60s - early 80s! Conventional military power surpasses that of the United States, represented by the Army and Air Force! A month of bulldozing Europe is not lip service.

The economic strength of the United States is about 80%. If it develops according to the level of the 70s to the present, the comprehensive level should be greater than that of the United States. If the USSR in the 70s came to the current ranking:

Militarily, nuclear weapons are second, and conventional weapons are third, after all, there is a generation gap of nearly 40 years; Economically, at the end of the 70s, the GDP of the Soviet Union was about one trillion dollars, according to the GDP of various countries in 2017, it was no less than 7 or 8, and Russia was only one trillion in 2017.

Although it is said to be very developed now, if the Soviet Union is here, with its strong military and scientific and technological strength, it can still rank in the top ten.

Personally, I feel that it is difficult to judge, if the outside world simply counts the Soviet Union at that time into today's military ranking, it should be able to rank in the top 3 ranks. Because at that time, the Soviet Union and the United States were in a state of military competition, which does not exist in the world today. This kind of competition has led to a huge investment in the military of the two countries.

But it's still hard to compare, because the last 50 years are undoubtedly the 50 years with the fastest development of science and technology, and many concepts are changing.

The USSR in the 70s was stronger than India now, but not economically.

There is no comparison between the situation of the past and the present.

Just like the situation in the early Qing Dynasty, it can't be compared to today.

After China and the United States, other countries are ahead.
