Despite China’s place as the world’s second largest economy and one of the most rapidly growing in the world, the Chinese government still classifies itself as a developing country. Being known as a “developing country” serves to China’s advantage, as becoming a part of the developed world comes with a host of expectations and responsibilities. A developing country, as defined by the World Bank, is “one in which the majority lives on far less money—with far fewer basic public services—than the population in highly industrialized countries.” Though the World Bank stands by the determination that China is still a developing country, the vagueness of this definition allows for argument. In the debate on whether China is developed or developing, the statistics speak for themselves.
