Talk about your views on this country.

China's international status naturally depends on its comprehensive national strength. There are many versions of comprehensive national strength, including early classic version, late version and China version. There are many versions, no one can agree with anyone, and there is no standard version. The early version focused on the country's political, economic, national defense, culture, science and technology and diplomatic capabilities. Later, he paid attention to national soft power, economy and culture. I don't know what the China version thinks, except that it is not recognized internationally.

China's comprehensive national strength was represented by the opinion of a foreign expert in the early stage. Take 1990 as an example:

First, economic strength.

China's economic strength ranked eighth in the world, which was consistent with the total GDP at that time.

Second, political power.

China is one of the five permanent members and one of the poles in the world triangle between the United States and the Soviet Union. Although it is much weaker than others, it does play a very important role. Political power ranks third in the world after the United States and the Soviet Union.

Third, the national defense.

1949 ranked eighth at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and 1990 ranked third in the world, second only to the United States and the Soviet Union.

Fourth, scientific and technological strength.

The scientific research strength is huge and the efficiency is low, ranking ninth in the world.

Fifth, cultural power.

The representative of oriental culture, the modern cultural industry is underdeveloped, ranking sixth in the world.

Sixth, diplomatic power.

Except for the booger countries that have established diplomatic relations with Taiwan Province, all influential countries have established diplomatic relations with China, ranking third.

Generally speaking, China's comprehensive national strength ranks sixth in the world after the United States, the Soviet Union, France, Britain and Japan. Other ranking methods, such as a ranking based on soft power, rank 12 in China and 16 in China, which have low recognition.

After the drastic changes in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe and the Asian financial crisis, Russian countries struggled for a sharp decline, Japan stagnated, the United States took the lead, and China developed rapidly. China and the United States became the two wheels of world economic growth. Great changes have taken place in the comparison of comprehensive national strength, but there is no qualitative change. Developed countries are still stable, while developing countries are still beating around the bush. Although they are developing rapidly, they still have to be left behind by developed countries, and Africa is still in turmoil.

Take 200 1 year as an example, then talk about comprehensive national strength;

First, economic strength.

Since 1990, China's GDP has surpassed Canadian and Italian in one fell swoop, ranking sixth in the world, and its economy should rank sixth. In this year, the top ten global GDP rankings were $9,900.7 billion, $4,574.2 billion in Japan, $65.438+0,948 billion in Germany, $65.438+0,456.5438+0.4 billion in Britain, $65.438+0,242.2 billion in France and $65.438+0,654.38 in China. Other important economies include Brazil, India, South Korea, the Netherlands, Australia, Switzerland, Argentina, Russia, Belgium and Sweden. It is worth mentioning that in 1989, the per capita GDP of the Soviet Union reached a peak of more than 8,000 US dollars, and the total amount was still ranked third in the world after the United States and Japan. 100 1 year per capita GDP dropped to 1750 USD, ranking 18 in the world.

Second, political power.

Russia's political power can't be compared with that of the former Soviet Union, but it still has great influence. It actively participates in coordinating various events in the world and uses India's dependence on arms purchases to expand its influence on India. As an extremely important member of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, it plays a great role in the six-party talks and has a great influence in the Middle East peace process. In recent years, China has expanded its influence on ASEAN and other neighboring countries. With the strengthening of economic strength, political influence has risen rapidly, but it still ranks third in the world, second only to Russia. The main political forces are the United States, Russian, China, French, British, Japanese, German, Italian, Indian and Canadian.

Third, national defense.

America is number one in the world. Russia declined from the former Soviet Union, with the number of combat aircraft reduced from more than 4,000 to more than 1000, tanks and armored vehicles from more than 40,000 to 1500, main battle ships from more than 700 to more than 300, and submarines from more than 1000 to more than 60. The quantity of these equipment will be further reduced and the quality will be improved. No matter how high the quality is, it will never be brilliant again. China's army is undergoing "slow modernization" (as used in China's annual military report), and its electronicization and missile level have been improved to some extent. The navy and air force have developed rapidly in recent years, and their national defense strength has surpassed that of Russia, ranking second in the world. The national defense forces of big countries are the United States, China, Russia, Japan, France, Britain, Germany, India and Italy, which is consistent with the ranking of national security index put forward by an Indian scholar not long ago.

Fourth, scientific and technological strength.

In recent years, China's scientific and technological strength has been greatly improved, but there has been no qualitative change or breakthrough. The development of science and technology in the world has not slowed down because of the development of China. In terms of the overall strength of science and technology, China ranks seventh. According to the ranking, it is the United States, Japan, Britain, Germany, France, Russia, China, India and Canada.

Since 1990s, South Korea and Ireland have made the fastest progress in science and technology, while Russia has dropped three places and China has risen two places.

Fifth, cultural power.

China still has no breakthrough in the field of culture, while Russia is still in decline. The United States is the first, French is the second, and China is the sixth. Diplomatic power.

The United States, the Russian Federation and China ranked in the top three.

In 200 1 year, in terms of comprehensive national strength development, Russia declined the most, Britain and France exchanged positions, and Britain developed steadily in recent years. Therefore, the most influential countries in the world in 200 1 year are:

One is America.

The second is Japan.

The third is Britain.

The fourth is France.

Fifth, China.

The sixth is Russia.

Seven is Germany.

Eight is India.

Nine is Italy.
