China Is 80 Years Behind

Categories: East Asia, China, Development, Economics & Business

Simon World points to an amusing new study published in People's Daily (the official propagand mouthpiece of the Chinese government) today. The study, conducted by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, concluded that “China is still a less developed country that is 80 years behind the US, France, Sweden and Germany [1]“, in terms of social and economic development. Of course, the study did not discuss political development at all.
