What is the threshold of developed countries?

Developed countries are countries with high level of economic development, advanced technology and high living standards, also known as industrialized countries and countries with highly developed economies. At present, the standards of developed countries:

1. High level of industrialization, highly developed productivity and high level of science and technology;

Second, the per capita GDP exceeds 2w (the threshold may be raised in the future);

Third, the level of social development is relatively high, the illiteracy rate is low and the living standard is high.

Therefore, some small countries with rich tourism resources, led by Saudi Arabia, are not developed countries.

Will China become a developed country? Look at the above three points.

One: China's industrialization level is relatively high, its industrial added value exceeds the sum of the United States and Japan, and there is industrial overcapacity, which will greatly improve its productivity in the future. Don't worry about this problem. China is a big country in science and technology, and its level of science and technology is at the top level in the world. The number of high-quality papers and patent applications per capita is slightly lower than that of developed countries, but the growth momentum is fierce.

Second, China's per capita GDP in 20 17 was 8800+USD, and it should be around 10000 USD this year (it should be left behind, after all, due to the depreciation of RMB in the second half of the year). Suppose the threshold of developed countries becomes $25,000, then we will increase it by 1.5 times;

Third, China's social development level is at a medium level in the world; Nine-year compulsory education is barely popularized, and the illiteracy rate has been decreasing in previous years, but it has remained basically unchanged in recent years, slightly lagging behind developed countries. In addition, the living standard of China lags far behind that of developed countries or regions.

Therefore, in order to become a developed country, China needs to increase its per capita GDP by about 1.5 times, improve its social development level, reduce its illiteracy rate and improve its living standard. The latter three will be solved with the development of economy, mainly depending on whether you have enough confidence in China's economy. (I think according to the current economic growth trend, it should be nominally 10% in recent years, 8% in a few years, and it should be possible in 2030.
