Is the per capita scientific level of Chinese higher than that of Westerners?

Yes. Because China's education system is very perfect, and everyone has to receive compulsory education, the per capita scientific level of Chinese is higher than that of Westerners.

The per capita level of science will not be higher than that of Westerners, because Westerners have a relatively high level of education, while China's population base is relatively large, and the per capita level of science is not high enough.

Indeed, because there are more scientists in China and fewer scientists in the West, the level of science in China is one level higher than that of Westerners.

To measure the true level of development of a country, we should not only look at the size of its economic aggregate, but also look at its per capita level. Since the reform and opening up, China's economy has achieved remarkable achievements in average annual growth, with a GDP of one trillion US dollars in 2017, ranking second in the world, and the gap between China and the United States in terms of total volume has been further narrowed, and its contribution to the world economy has exceeded 30% for many years.

However, judging from the per capita level, the characteristics of China's developing countries have not fundamentally changed. According to World Bank data, China's per capita GDP in 2016 was 8,123 US dollars, about 80% of the world average (10,190 US dollars), only 1 7 of the United States (57,638 US dollars), ranking 68th in the world. From the perspective of investment level, the per capita capital stock of China's infrastructure is only 20-30% of that of developed countries.

Major infrastructure facilities such as transportation, telecommunications, and water conservancy in the western provinces and impoverished areas are still very weak. From the perspective of consumption level, China's per capita household consumption in 2016 was 2,506 US dollars, less than 1 2 of the world average (5,913 US dollars) and only 7% of that of the United States (36,405 US dollars).

There is still a big gap between China's per capita durable consumer goods and developed countries. At the end of 2017, Chinese residents had cars per 100 households, while the United States had more than 200 cars per 100 households, and some developed countries in Europe had more than 150. In terms of consumption rate, the consumption rate of Chinese residents is also much lower than that of developed countries.

In 2015, the consumption rate of Chinese residents was that of the United States. From the perspective of consumption structure, the Engel coefficient of China's residents' consumption in 2017 is still much higher than the level of developed countries, indicating that China's people still need to use a larger proportion of expenditure to meet basic needs such as food and clothing, and the proportion of expenditure on cultural consumption, health care consumption and leisure tourism consumption is much lower than that of developed countries.

Yes. In 2017, the global GDP was $80 trillion, with a population of about 7.5 billion and $10,000 per capita. China's per capita GDP is in US dollars, which is still slightly lower than the world average.

China has the world's second-largest GDP, but its per capita income is lower than Japan's.
