There are 7 developed countries with a population of more than 50 million in the world, namely the United States, Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Italy and South Korea. Except for the United States, the other six developed countries have fallen into a period of long or short GDP stagnation.
The longest is that Japan has been 28 years, and the shortest is that South Korea has been 5 years. Others in Germany, France, the United Kingdom and Italy have been around for more than ten years. But the United States has made rapid progress and has not stopped. In the 1990s, Japan's per capita GDP was once 1.5 times that of the United States, and this year, Japan's per capita GDP may be less than half of that of the United States. Why are these developed countries falling into economic stagnation? Only the United States can be exempted from it alone?
You may be able to come up with many reasons at will. First, the United States has a population of 333 million, making it the third largest population in the world and the largest population among developed countries, with a large market and a great potential. Second, the United States has the highest technology level in the world, emerging industries are emerging one after another, and other developed countries are dwarfed.
It makes sense to think about these reasons, but if you think about it carefully, you will know that this is not the case.
These developed countries are all countries with a population of more than 50 million. There are only 29 people with a population of more than 50 million in more than 200 countries and regions around the world. For example, Japan has a population of 126 million, ranking 11th in the world. If the population and economy of these countries must stagnate, then most countries in the world will stagnate even more. Moreover, with economic globalization, the consumer markets of these countries are not just their own countries. It is untenable that small markets lead to the inevitable stagnation of economic development.
Speaking of scientific and technological innovation, these countries are all powerful countries in the world, and their R&D intensity and total R&D funds are at the leading level in the world. Moreover, Germany, Britain, and France are old-fashioned powers. How important is science and technology to national development? How can they not know how important science and technology is to national development? It is impossible to say that these countries do not attach importance to scientific and technological innovation. You said there are a few things that may be possible if you don’t pay attention to, but it is completely impossible if you say that no one pays attention to it.
So there must be a reason behind this strange thing, and this reason is the suppression of the United States.
Many people believe that the rapid development of the United States comes from the United States' technological strength, and technological strength is relative. There are two types of advantages to maintain. One is that I develop faster than others. Second, I let others develop slowly than I do. The United States adopted the second one.
Japan's semiconductor industry once led the world, leaving the United States as if it were in a turmoil, forcing Japan to destroy its own martial arts, causing Japan's semiconductor industry to suffer heavy blows. France's Alstom was originally in the competition with American companies, but in the end, the United States directly used improper means, resulting in Alstom being dismembered and acquired. I believe everyone knows how despicable the United States’ method of dealing with our country’s Huawei.
Under the various conspiracies and tricks of the United States, the other six developed countries with poor strength are simply unable to fight. They missed the strategic opportunity period for the development of multiple industries, while the United States monopolized many high-end industries. The most intuitive example is Huawei. The United States suppressed Huawei and seized Meng Wanzhou, which eventually caused Huawei's mobile phone business to plummet, and eventually most of its market share was eaten up by Apple.
Therefore, the other six developed countries have fallen into economic stagnation, which is not entirely formed by natural development, but is caused by the joint action of natural development and the United States' suppression.
This is like climbing, which is already very dangerous. As a result, there is a giant above his head and throwing stones downwards, which is naturally even more difficult to climb.
