Is China Still a Developing Country? Experts Share Their Thoughts! 🇨🇳🤔
Hey there! Have you ever wondered if China is still a developing country? 🤷♀️🤷♂️ Well, recently, some experts had a big discussion about this topic!
On a show called Talking China, two experts shared their views. The first expert, Mr. Liu Zhiqin, says that China is still developing. He pointed out that while cities like Beijing and Shanghai are very modern and advanced, other parts of China are not as developed. 🏙️🌄
He said, “If you go to the western part of China, you can see big differences compared to the big cities.” This means that not all areas in China have the same level of development.
Mr. Liu believes that because of these differences, China should still be considered a developing country and part of the “Global South.” The Global South is a term used to describe countries that are still developing and improving their economies.
But wait! Another expert, Mr. Li Cheng, had a different opinion. He said that China is the second largest economy in the world! 🌏💰 That means China makes a lot of goods and services, and its people are becoming wealthier.
Mr. Li said, “I disagree with the idea that China is very poor.” He thinks that many people around the world see China as a strong and developed country.
So, who’s right? 🤓 Maybe both of them have good points! It’s important to remember that a country can be very big, and different parts of it can be at different stages of development.
In the end, both experts agreed that countries, whether they’re in the North or the South, should be kind and understanding to each other. 🌍❤️
