Officially, the US Senate unanimously agreed to stop dealing with China as a "developing country".

[The SC]

Senator Sullivan, a Republican from Alaska, proposed amending the Kigali Agreement to stop China's inclusion as a developing country: "China is not a developing country." The amendment passed by 96 votes to zero.

The institutes that shape American policy in the world such as the Rand Institute, the Washington Institute and the Mimi Institute drew this danger in the form of a scenario 40 years ago, so that American political thinkers warned of the next real danger, which is China and the need to contain China from the eighties, most notably the writer, thinker and former National Security Adviser Brzezinski .

To be noted here, China's national product (NNP) , GDP and GNPexceeds the national product of the European Union combined..

These metrics reflect different ways of measuring the scope of an economy. While GDP limits its interpretation of the economy to the geographical borders of the country, GNP extends it to include the net overseas economic activities performed by its nationals.

• GDP measures the value of goods and services produced within a country's borders, by citizens and non-citizens alike.
• GNP measures the value of goods and services produced by a country's citizens, both domestically and abroad.

Many sources now use the term Gross National Income, or GNI, as a synonym for GNP.

Makes sense. China is a developed country according to our resident chinese members. They no longer require exemptions or special considerations extended to a ‘developing country’.

Whether China is a developing country or not should be decided by the developing country standard of the United Nations, rather than the vote of the United States Senate.

Whether China is a developing country or not should refer to GDP per capita rather than total GDP. Otherwise, please list India as a developed country. India's GDP exceeds that of Britain.

Not really. China is a UNHCR signatory, yet it continues to commit grave human rights violations in the East Turkestan region. Not to mention territorial disputes, CITES violations, WTO violations etc., etc., etc.

While countries are signatories of UN/Multilateral conventions — and to a large extent try to comply with those guidelines — they still (sometimes) define national policies outside of these considerations. Quite unlike china, where it happens on the daily.

It will take another 100 years atleast for India to become developed unfortunately but won't mind voting India as developed.. But the indians don't realize not many countries want to list themselves as developed..

In my honest opinion many more countries have also hit the developed range decades ago now but still don't want to be included in developed and wanna stay as developing status for like another half decade if possible all tho they have entered the developed stages atleast 2-3 decades ago they still wanna remain as developing they wanna hide from that list.. They wanna reap the advantages.

Countries like:

Poland
UAE
Qatar
KSA
Brunei
Malaysia
Oman
Bahrain
Kuwait
Turkey
Kazakhstan
China
Croatia
Romania

Just repeating NED talking points won’t make it true. It’s not like America abides by UN conventions anyways. It disregard them whenever it suites them.

LOL. Like China is enjoying preferential tariff from USA.

When an Indian says that the sun is square, we must immediately understand that the sun is round.

Indians are used to lying and cheating. We need to learn to understand their words in the opposite direction.




In the fiscal year 2020/2021, India exported US $51.12 billion to the USA, of which US $20 billion came from telecommunications fraud. What a nation with a gift for fraud.

US ratified the amendment two days ago.

The American just being petty. I bet they think that it is unfair, and don't want to ratify it if they can avoid it.

Suprising that some Indian would support that !!

The Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol is an international agreement to gradually reduce the consumption and production of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). It is a legally binding agreement designed to create rights and obligations in international law.[1]​

​

..​

As of September 16, 2022, 137 states[5] and the European Union[6] have ratified the Kigali Amendment.​

..​

Details of the agreement[edit]​

Article 5 of the Montreal Protocol created separate standards for developing countries and non-developing.[15] Whether a country was categorized as developing or non-developing depended on individual economic conditions at the time of the agreement or pending special request.[16] Because the Protocol was created in the 1980s and countries economic situations have changed, the Kigali Amendment created three updated groups for compliance with the additional terms.[17]​

​

The first group, which includes the "old" industrialized countries, is committed to reducing the use of HFCs by 45% by 2024 and by 85% by 2036, compared to their use between 2011 and 2013. A second group, which includes China and Brazil, is committed to reducing its consumption by 80% by 2045. Finally, this deadline is extended to 2047 for the rest of the countries, including India and a number of countries in the Middle East,[18] which are large consumers of air conditioning.​

​

In addition, parties that experience monthly average temperatures over 35 degrees Celsius for at least two months per year, over a period of 10 consecutive years, may request a waiver.[19][20]​

That everyone’s a hypocrite? Yes. Really, read what I’m responding to before deciding to bestow us with your pearls of non-insight.

What, I was just coughing, hahaha. America was helping in Iraq with all the human rights thingy, I am sure none were killed and raped. No. Human rights violation at all. Fake news.

Well makes sense to me. China is not fully developed in socio economic terms but in terms of industrial and political competitiveness, it is actually far stronger than any country including the US.
