What kind of country is China?

China is both an industrial country and an agricultural country.

China is the world's second largest economy (after the United States), the world's largest industrial country and the world's largest agricultural country.

According to preliminary accounting, the gross domestic product (GDP) of China in 2065438+2008 was 900309 billion yuan, and the total economic output reached a new historical level of 90 trillion yuan for the first time, ranking second in the world.

Since the founding of New China 65 years ago, especially after more than 30 years of reform and opening up, China's industrial development has amazed the world. There has never been such a large-scale and high-speed industrialization phenomenon in human history: it took two or three hundred years from the industrial revolution in Western Europe to make about 20% of the world's population live in an industrial society; The process of industrialization in China has doubled the population living in industrial society all over the world in a few decades.

However, the mission of China industry to create and accumulate material wealth is far from complete, and China industry still has a long way to go. Creating and saving material wealth is the great historical mission of industrialization. Material wealth of a country or economy mainly includes the storage of natural materials and industrial products.

That is to say, the material wealth owned by the country, in addition to natural gifts, is mainly industrial products, especially the production equipment, buildings, transportation systems and various material infrastructures created by industry. Almost all the existing material wealth created by human beings that can be preserved for a long time is created by industry.

Moreover, the material wealth and even intangible wealth created by the primary industry and the tertiary industry have been "industrialized" to varying degrees. Strictly speaking, if there were no industry and no processing and manufacturing, human beings would still be in the wild era; Without industry, even natural wealth can't be used by human beings.

Judging from the historical mission of industrialization to create and accumulate material wealth, China's industrialization is far from complete. As far as the overall comprehensive quality is concerned, the industrialization of China has not really reached the middle and late stage. At present, one of the most important and urgent strategic tasks in China is still to continue to strengthen the industrial skeleton and truly realize modern industrial civilization.
