中国经济的定位:由大国经济到巨国经济

The Positioning of the Chinese Economy: From the Large Country Economy to the Giant Country Economy

对中国经济位势界定的讨论是进一步制定中国经济发展战略的基础,不论从哪方面看中国经济都堪称"大国经济",但仅仅用"大国"定位还不够准确。本文以人口指标为主、兼顾国土面积和生活水平,运用五分位法来定义"大国"进而定义"巨国"概念,并指出中国经济定位应当由大国经济调整为巨国经济。巨国经济的总体规模性与内部多元差异相伴而生,规模性决定了强劲的经济发展的内生动力,多元差异形成了地区间互补发展的吸引力,综合形成了独特的"巨国经济优势"。既然中国经济的定位是"巨国经济",就应当用"巨国经济"的视角来考察中国经济的相关现象和问题,制定经济发展路线、目标和战略时也应立足于这一基本国情。

The discussion on the definition of the Chinese economy is the foundation to formu- late the further development strategy. No matter from which aspect, Chinese economy can be called ＂the large country economy＂. However, it＇ s not accurate enough just by using the word ＂large＂. In this paper, we used the population as the main indicator, but also gave consideration to the land area and living standards. The method of quintiles were applied to define the concept of ＂large country＂ and then ＂giant country＂, so as to put forward that the economic positioning of China should be ad- justed from the large country economy to the giant country economy. The great scale of the giant country economy is accompanied by the internal diversity. The gigantic scale determines the internal power of economic development. The diversity forms the attraction of complementary development a- mong different regions. Consequently, it is essential to study the phenomenon and problems of Chi- na＇s economy in the perspective of ＂giant country economy＂.
