Why the world has wrongly defined China?
Gokarn Bhatt While the Western press highlights issues like authoritarianism and abuse of human rights in China, there seems to be no such shadow inside the country. Moreover, in 2020, China’s Gender Development Index improved to 0.957, up from 0.912 in 1995, showing that the disparities between women and men in education, health and economic resources are decreasing. The UNDP report shows that over the past decade, the annual per capita disposable income in China has risen, reaching 51,821 RMB in urban areas and 21,691 RMB in rural areas by 2023. According to the UNDP's Human Development Report 2023/2024, titled Breaking the Gridlock: Reimagining Cooperation in a Polarized World, China's Human Development Index increased to 0.788 in 2022, up from 0.499 in 1990. The Chinese foreign ministry highlighted that China is the only country that has moved from the low development group to the high development group since 1990, thanks to its people-centered development approach.
