Director Of National Statistics: Some Aspects Of China Are Worse Than The United States.

Recent state

Unexpectedly, our "world factory" has just surpassed.

The total economic volume is undoubtedly extremely important.

This is like eating. Without enough quantity, it is impossible to guarantee the basic living needs of the people.

However, when the basic food and clothing is no longer a problem, good and fine will rise to the main contradiction.

In recent years, China's steel industry has been hovering over expansion, overcapacity, continued blind expansion, and constantly losing profits. This is the most typical example.

Although China has long been wearing the hat of steel production in the world, but the big and not strong actual state has made our "big boss" hard to get up in the international market.

The purchase of iron ore is being slaughtered, and many high-end products still rely on imports.

Unlike in the past, Secretary Ma Jiantang has fully affirmed the remarkable achievements of our country. At the same time, he did not simply discuss the necessity of responding to the "second of the world" in maintaining the sobering sense of the total economic output from the narrow angle of GDP per capita. Instead, it made a comprehensive and meticulous X perspective to our economy and unreservedly demonstrated the gaps between us and the developed countries.

Please look at the three important facts he cited: first, China is lower than the world average in terms of the per capita possession of major resources.

Among them, per capita grain production is equivalent to 26.5% of the US and 54% of Russia. The per capita reserves of oil and natural gas are less than 1/10 of the world per capita level, and the per capita reserves of major metals are less than 1/4 of the world average level.

Two, in terms of labor productivity, China is not only far below developed countries, but also lower than many emerging economies.

In 2008, the GDP created by every employee in China was US $5855, which is only 5.9% of that of the United States, 7.7% of Japan and 24.8% of Russia.

In other words, in the ability to create wealth, an American "top" 16 of us, one Japanese "top" we 13, a Russian also "top" we 4!

Three, we also have an astonishing gap in terms of resources, especially energy efficiency.

In 2009, China accounted for 8.6% of the world's GDP, but consumed 46.9% of the world's coal and 10.4% of the oil. In the same year, the United States accounted for 24.3% of the world's GDP, coal and oil consumption accounted for 15.2% and 21.7% respectively, Japan's GDP accounted for 8.7%, and coal and oil consumption accounted for 3.3% and 5.1% respectively.

In fact, Ma Jiantang did not mention an important resource, that is, water. China's per capita water resources are only 1/4 of the world average, and water shortage will be a constraint factor for a long time.

We can find numerous convincing reasons for the above important gaps, but we can not deny the objective fact of the huge gap.

Facing the fact and paying attention to the gap, we can remain sober minded after leaping to the "world second", deeply feel the pressure of improving the economic quality, and then feel the determination to change the way of development.

Resources, belonging to "hardware", we do not have the advantage, "God" arrangement, human labor is difficult to change, so relying on resources to speed up the road has come to an end.

Labor productivity and resource utilization efficiency belong to "software". We are also in a weak position at present. However, the huge gap is both a bottleneck and a potential for development. It can be completely depended on people's efforts to reverse it.

Japan is a successful example.

As long as we recognize the direction, strive to improve software, we can break through the "bottleneck" and embark on a big and strong road.

For various reasons, the statistics department's reputation has been poor, and the National Bureau of statistics has also.

Last year, the "classic data" of house prices rose by 1.5% in 2009, adding to the trust crisis of the Statistics Bureau.

But this article by Ma Jian Tang has shaken my habitual understanding of the Bureau of statistics. "Feel" as the leader of the state authority department, the data enumerated are all "dry goods" that have not been injected with water, and have enough authority.

Thanks to Ma Jiantang for giving me and the people who also have a lack of "comprehensive understanding of China's position in the world economy".

It is also hoped that if the Bureau of statistics releases the "traditional" data that are "exhilarating" and "added" characters regularly, it will also be able to "track" and release "thundermen" data such as the difference with the "boss" for 100 years.
