Ch... China doesn't have an advanced economy? I refuse to look up what the criteria are.
As the world’s second largest economy, they are an emerging market. This should naturally explain why the world’s 3rd largest economy, which is a bit above 1/4 of China’s, is blue.
Second largest? They produce everything. Its so funny that that statement is its own "always the same map" thing. Most of amerikas economy is fictitious capital and they produce little more than suffering but claim to be the biggest economy lmao.
"economy" doesn't mean products or production or industrial capacity or consumption or living standards
"economy" just means money, just the number of money that is dancing around
They’re on the path to first, but fictitious capital is still keeping the US GDP higher, so far.
Gdp lmao who cares? amerika is that joke about two economists passing $100 back and forth.
And yet Taiwan is coloured in on it.
taiwan has two giant companies that are keeping the whole economy afloat somehow
the economy absolutely does not trickle down though, average salaries are ridiculously low, no one can afford to buy a house, small businesses are closing every day
it's going to be very funny (and also even more tragic for normal people) once the llm bubble pops and the chip prices plummet and the whole inflatable bouncy castle flaccidly flops over
Now that I think of it, we don't get any cultural import from Taiwan in the west, unlike we do with Japan and Bad Korea. They must truly be miserable if we don't get any media coverage whatsoever in the style of "how wonderful life in Taiwan is in comparison with horrific Gyna"
Taiwanese cultural exports all go to mainland China
Music dominates there because there's too much bureaucracy with censorship and filtering from the CPC for mainlanders to compete
Jay Zhou and Mayday sell out arenas in the mainland like no mainland artist does
usa: "he's just like me fr" [advanced economy stamp]
