对我国发展中国家地位的思考与建议

Thoughts and Suggestions on China’s Status as a Developing Country

本文分析了高收入国家与发达国家在概念上的差异,指出不能将世界银行认定高收入国家的标准,作为区分发达国家与发展中国家的标准。本文提出用发达国家末尾集团的人均GDP作为发达国家的"门槛线",并结合日本、韩国、新加坡等国的发展经验,以及国内各省人均GDP发展现状,做出了相应预测:我国人均GDP至少还需要十年才能够达到发达国家"门槛线"。据此,本文认为我国作为全球制造大国、贸易大国,既要认真考虑发展的外溢效应,承担相应大国责任;也要认清发展任务的艰巨性,以便更好地维护我国发展中国家的地位。

This paper analyzes the conceptual differences between high-income countries and developed countries, and points out that the World Bank’s standard of high-income countries cannot be used to judge a country is developed or not. Therefore, this paper puts forward that the per capita GDP of the group at the end of developed countries could be taken as the threshold of developed countries. This paper makes prediction: it will take at least ten years for China’s per capita GDP to reach the threshold of developed countries, according to the experience of Japan, South Korea, Singapore and other countries, as well as the current situation of per capita GDP of domestic provinces. As a global manufacturing and trading nation, China should not only consider the spillover effect of development, take on the responsibility of a major country;but also be aware of the arduousness of China’s development tasks, maintain the status of China as a developing country.
