The U.S. House of Representatives recently passed a bill with 415 votes in favor and 0 votes against, affirming that “China is not a developing country (PRC Is Not a Developing Country).” This bill will also cancel all the benefits and benefits that China enjoys when it is a developing country. However, after the news spread to China, many Chinese netizens thought it was a means by the United States to suppress China. They posted on Weibo that China has a population of 1.4 billion and the gap between rich and poor is large. The Global Times also posted, “It seems that they are too worried China has developed.”
The United States passed the “PRC Is Not a Developing Country Act” (PRC Is Not a Developing Country Act), which means that as long as the United States has signed any agreement or joined any world organization such as the World Trade Organization (WTO), the United States will refuse to recognize China as a developing country. Advantageous position enjoyed by developing countries.
According to a report by “FOX BUSINESS”, U.S. Republican Congressman Young Kim pointed out that China has applied for development assistance and loans from international organizations by virtue of its position as a developing country, and spent hundreds of millions of dollars on infrastructure construction. In fact, it is a debt trap and a diplomatic scam. The “One Belt, One Road” initiative is a famous case.
After the news was posted on Weibo, Chinese netizens were also quite unhappy about being removed from developing countries. “The U.S. House of Representatives wants to make China a developed country” also rushed into the trending searches. The “Global Times” published an article stating that “it seems that they are too worried about China’s development”, pointing out that China has made great achievements in recent years, but the problem of unbalanced development still exists, and pointed out that China’s per capita GDP will only rank 60th in 2021 , which was not mentioned in the US report.
The “Global Times” also criticized that the United States “manipulated” China’s status as a developing country, obviously to suppress the development of China with a population of more than 1.4 billion. And Zhong Feiteng, a researcher at the Institute of Asia-Pacific and Global Strategy of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, also said that this incident was just a cover-up, in order to cooperate with the US containment strategy against China.
Zhong Feiteng said that China, as a developing country, has proved through Chinese-style modernization that the modernization path from development to prosperity is not unique to the United States. Therefore, the United States is worried that its own influence will be weakened. As a developing country, its deep and sinister intention is to try to convince other developing countries that China is not a typical developing country, and that it does not achieve a “great economic miracle” through an Anglo-Saxon market economy.”
In the end, Zhong Feiteng even said that the United States just wants to bind those countries that want to learn from China’s development path and development model to the United States; “Facts speak louder than words. When American politicians fear China’s identity, they will instead It proves the significance of China’s insistence on developing country status”.
In addition, Chinese netizens also commented, “If the United States really wants China to become a developed country as soon as possible, then the United States should give China more scientific and financial assistance.” The Chinese will not accept the “development” of China! Experts should stop bragging about it.”
Another netizen questioned: “A country that still has provinces that can’t afford eggs, a country where people live on the streets and is heavily in debt, and a country that has collapsed for more than 20 years, has become a developed country. American psychiatric hospital doctor Is it a strike?”
