Didn't I get a text message on my cell phone the other day saying that China just built an aircraft carrier?

Answer the title question: China is about to enter the service of an aircraft carrier, but it is not independently developed. It is a medium-sized aircraft carrier of the former Soviet Navy "Varyag" bought directly from Ukraine, with a standard displacement of 65, tons. This year, it has been intensively modified, painted and cleaned.

Answer the question: At present, China's GDP is equivalent to 1/3 of that of the United States (only 1/8 1 years ago), making it the second largest economy in the world.

If China's economic growth rate can continue to reach nearly 1% on average as in the past 3 years of reform and opening up (which means doubling every seven years, such as the current GDP base is 1, the GDP will be 2 after seven years, 4 after seven years, and 8 after seven years ...), and the economic growth rate of the United States continues to be the level after World War II, China will be in 23.

but! Between 215 and 22, China's demographic dividend will disappear (that is, the annual increase of the working population over 18 years old will gradually be less than the annual increase of the elderly population over 6 years old), and this hard condition that supports every rising country in human history will disappear, which is a considerable challenge to the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!

there is one last point: GDP is everything, and GDP is nothing! Is GDP invincible? In 184, China's GDP was 1/3 of the whole earth, but it was burnt down by a small broken island country half a world away, and it had to apologize and pay compensation;

In p>199, there were more than 1.2 million regular troops in the Qing Empire, more than all the troops in Europe, but more than 2, improvised Eight-Nation Alliance drove Lafayette to Xi 'an on the ground in China.

before July 7, 1937, the GDP of China (excluding Northeast China and Taiwan Province) was twice that of Japan, but in eight years, Japan wiped out nearly half of China ...

Furthermore, in the Song Dynasty, the Dasong Empire was the most developed civilization in the whole world at that time, and its status in the world was richer and more civilized than that of today's old America, with the regular army of Dasong Empire reaching 1.4 million! However, it is the most humiliating era in China's history. Almost except Yue Fei, it has been repeatedly defeated ... abused by nomadic people in the north ... abused as much as you want ... < P > The core competitiveness of the current China model is actually "three lows and three highs", that is, low wages, low interest rates, high pollution, high energy consumption (and one low and one high is forgotten ...), investment and high.
