Chapter 80 25. Outlook: China in 20 years

I don't know if people who were familiar with this country ten years ago can still recognize today's China. The rapid development of the Chinese nation, new social lifestyle, bold urbanization process, modern infrastructure construction, astonishing economic growth, impressive diplomatic influence, financial resources and its international openness have turned China upside down. changes and is expected to propel it into a world power between 2015 and 2020. China's development, growth and reforms in various industries and fields will make it a superpower by 2030. The Chinese nation will become a technological power, but at the same time, it must also face many challenges that must be experienced to become a world power.

From now until 2030, China will implement energy conversion to save resources, so that it will become a world powerhouse in technology and energy regeneration. China has the potential to replace the United States and establish a new order: namely, China, the United States, India, Japan, Brazil, Russia, Germany, Mexico, France, and the United Kingdom.That is to say, by 2030, the EU will become the fourth largest "power" in the world as a regional entity. The goals of reducing poverty and ensuring universal education will be achieved, and China's urban and rural development and regional development will also be rebalanced.

The living standards of the Chinese people will also be further improved.Social reforms on issues such as labour, leave, the state retirement system and the social security system will also be completed. India and China will have 3 billion people.Africa will be the successor driving the world's development.China will become a super modern and super urbanized country with a population of 1.5 billion.Most of the population will be urbanites, and its nationalized metropolises will further develop.Fully ecological cities will emerge. China will further protect the environment, develop high and new technologies, and carry forward traditional, modern and modern cultures, as well as minority cultures that are the wealth of China and the world.Industrial, environmental, agricultural, social, tourism and transportation facilities will be spread throughout China.

World Bank Chief Economist Justin Yifu predicts that by 2030, China's GDP will be 2.5 times that of the United States.China's per capita GNP will also reach 50% of that of the United States (calculated based on the fact that China's population was five times that of the United States at that time). According to Standard Chartered, China's economy will be twice the size of the US in 2030 in a "super-cycle of sustained growth". The "super cycle" and the period of historic high growth in the global economy will continue for one or more generations.In addition, the world economy will also be brought to new heights due to increased trade and investment levels, urbanization and technological innovation, and the advent of the new economic era.

Economic indicators such as gross national product and foreign exchange reserves are increasing at an annual rate of 8% or more, and domestic and foreign investment and domestic consumption are increasing regularly, making China gradually become a world power. Millions of Chinese tourists travel in their own country, in Asia and around the world. China will become the leader of the world and have absolute influence in any international decision-making.Furthermore, she will take the lead in addressing various conflict issues or discussing topics related to global situations and developments.

According to the forecast of Goldman Sachs, by 2050, the status of countries in the world is still in flux.China will sit firmly on the top spot and the EU will follow! Also in the middle of this century, China is likely to rank ahead of the United States, India, Japan, Brazil and Russia.Great Britain, Germany and France (ninth) should follow Russia and maintain a good place on this list. Indeed, such a trend forecast is a bit bold, and the opinions of different economic forecasters are not unified. China's tentacles of influence spread all over: the mainland, Macau, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Chinese gathering places around the world such as Singapore, etc., coupled with the establishment of priority partnerships between China and many countries in the world, China will become a first-class cultural, economic and Financial Center.

China's influence and network are much larger than we imagined.China's strength in many fields will become increasingly prominent: such as soft power, clean energy, biotechnology, nanotechnology, information science, public health, robot design and manufacturing technology, international finance, international media, and exports of high value-added goods and services and other fields. The tertiary industry and service industry will account for more than half of its total business volume.China's stock exchange will occupy the first place in the world, and the renminbi will also become an important international currency.

China will be at the forefront of the world in air and sea transit and transactions.China will invest more and more directly and indirectly overseas, and its industry and agriculture will gradually move out. China's current leaders are gradually promoting reforms, trying to build a new system that can better listen to the voices of the people.These improvements can make public opinion more open and pluralistic.
