GDP-Japan, we are poor!

Ten times the GDP of China, Japan's population more than Japan, means that the per capita GDP of China was just catch up with Japan's 1/10

China's GDP for the second quarter more than Japan! United States New York Times and other Western media said: "the Chinese economy has gone through decades of order after dazzling development, in the second quarter of this year was finally over Japan to become the world's second largest economy, China's economic development of a milestone. ”

Into the 21st century, "beyond" is the overall growth of the Chinese economy is a key word: in 2006, GDP for the first time exceeded the United Kingdom, 2007, the long-term occupies a third of the country, Germany, and is now ranked 2nd in world economic output of up to 40 years of Japan surpass! digital growing, we really rich before?

Per capita GDP accounted for only 1/10 Japan

China has become the world's second largest economy in the world, but also makes people more confidence, but one with more than 13 million people of the world's largest population in the countries concerned, any amount after a billion denominator, average will become very small.

GDP over Japan, but Japan's population is only 1/10, this also means that our per capita GDP only just caught up with Japan's 1/10. The Commerce Department said yesterday, China 1.5 billion people do not meet the United Nations day dollar income standards. International poverty line is the daily income of less than one dollar a day, China is RMB 1196, i.e. $ 0.5 per day.

From the economic development of the layout, the structural problems. Industrial structural imbalances, China in the first and second industry focus too many labor resources, and rural development, regional development imbalances, 2008 Chinese 0.415 Gini coefficient higher than France, Switzerland, United States, also higher than that of India and Romania, Malaysia, middle income countries.

From education, health care and social security system, the Chinese public welfare undertakings remain to be developed and perfected, a serious lack of public investment in education, social security task difficult. 2008 urban registered unemployment up to 886 million, exceeding the population of Australia 1/3. Over 60 years old accounted for the total population of the country "not 12.5% aged old" is already a fact.

From trade structure, China is still in the low end of the global industry chain, export in consumption of resources and manpower than the major trade in goods, technology and knowledge-intensive small proportion of trade in services.

Keen attention to China's GDP over Japan's friends also called, "to some extent, China's GDP is achieved through the human sea tactics, green GDP is still a long road!" lack of benefit is our GDP economic ills, there are problems of double-counting. Such as overcapacity can also create GDP, business as long as the production of the product, whether it be a backlog in the factory warehouse or distribution channels, are GDP, such as many places everywhere on the road, some roads are repaired dig, dig and repair, each trim removal removal are calculated into the GDP, the GDP is social wealth should place a question mark.

China polarization serious

For per capita GDP ranked World No. 99 of China must also guard against the imbalance of wealth distribution. According to the World Bank's latest report, United States 5% of the population with 60% of the wealth. But China is 1% of households have national 41.4% concentration of wealth, and wealth is far more than the United States, becoming the most serious global polarization. China's Gini coefficient from 30 years ago at the beginning of reform and opening-up of 0.28 has risen to the 0.47 2009. From 1997 to 2007, the workers ' compensation proportion of the GDP decreased from 53.4% to 39.74%.

Japan overseas assets extremely large

"In fact, our GDP which is created by foreigners, the resulting value and profit eventually return to their country. Sun Yat-sen University economics professor lib, in accepting the yangcheng evening news reporter analysis that GDP in most of the money it is not our money, the Chinese people do not enjoy! so we should be careful not to create a false impression, it seems we have a lot of money, like all GDP will translate into people's wealth. "In fact we still an out-and-out poor!"

In fact, China GDP beyond Japan's international network of public opinion also heard, performance enough. "Japan's real GDP probably more than the United States. "Friends have started to settle accounts: 2004 Japan overseas total assets increased to $ 41968, this includes Japan overseas purchase of land has been constructed in a factory, and so on. And overseas enterprise sales, Japan overseas "money" has reached the 41968 billion + 3.5 trillion = 76968 billion, which is still relatively conservative estimate. This conservative overseas GDP, remains Japan's domestic 1.58 times GDP, equivalent to Japan overseas built a scale than their domestic GDP larger "assets Japan!"

On this view, there is no direct evidence of authority, but the lib, Professor from the GNP (gross national product) of Japan's economic analysis might bring us. "There is a very interesting question, over the past 20 years, everyone said that Japan's economic downturn, Japan is also essential not to mention their GNP is GDP per year, while only announced Japan GDP growth even gone missing year after year. Why are you doing? "lib, think, in fact, the only truly embody the GNP Japan human strength! Japan overseas salesman from extremely huge, including us those made in China, Japan, these products are not in Japan's GDP, but its huge profit but eventually return to Japan's purse.

"This deliberately low-key is a strategy, we must beware yet truly prosperous, they have become the target of public criticism. "The lib.
