China is still a developing country. Though they do have a massive economy and have made massive progress towards improved QOL, they still have a long way to go. It isn’t just about the economy being big, it’s also relative to population size and general poverty/development. China’s cities are very well developed, but the rural areas are lagging behind.
Still I don’t see how it’s a developing country, the poverty indices are extremely low quality of life very good, by that metric the US should be an undeveloping country with its job crisis opioid epidemic, real estate prices running rampant, I just don’t understand the metric of what is a developed country if China isn’t one
Well, a big part of it is so that’s probably the simplest answer. The west decides the rules on this and then predictably applies it to the rest of the world. They don’t have an “undeveloping” or “de-development” metric, or else practically every western nation would fall under it.
