Thats true, there are many things that the United States is behind in. But as a whole they are definitely not

And notice! The hdi does not use “first world” “second world” and “third world” language! Shocking, I know

You’re absolutely right, the language they use is actually “ developing” and “ develop”

So China is not yet a developed country, is that more up to your standards??

It’s ranked as high human development, using its own language, for the record.

Yes, and those categories are widely recognized as following the order of high being developing, and very high being developed

Oh see but if you’re going to use a specific index as a source, you have to use its language! Bc otherwise you kinda just sound like a dunce who doesn’t quite understand what the hell they’re talking about :( “check the hdi” ok buddy I did and it proves you’re wrong bc your argument wasn’t based off the hdi, but another mysterious index with other language

Just a quick question, what do you think HDI is short for?

My post was saying that the country of China does not have a high enough hdi rating to be what is considered a first world country, or in other words, a developed country. Not part of that is wrong

China is trending upwards, which is a good thing and I hope they continue to do so. They have a lot of work to do. But the United States is not trending down

And that’s wrong, for a multitude of reasons. The hdi, the human development index, is an actual thing, you know. It’s regulated. It’s not just a phrase or any jumble of statistics based on development. And it places countries on a scale with 4 subcategories of development. Low development, medium development, high development, and very high development. China is ranked in the high development category. No first second third world, no developed vs developing. Do you know what it even is?

Im not arguing that china has a .797 hdi, that’s objectively true. But you seem yo have a big problem with understanding that .797 is not a great score. That puts it at roughly 78th

Its not my opinion that anything above .800 is whats considered “developed”
