Secondly, the developed financial system and the world currency dollar, the strength of the United States began with finance, and the United States plundered Britain, Europe and the world by relying on a strong financial system and became the richest country in the world. The dollar is the world currency. The United States borrows money from the world with US dollars as the world currency, with an annual interest rate of 2%. Then, by printing money, the annual inflation rate is 5%. You can get rich just by borrowing money from the world. Then, American financial institutions control the pricing power of global gold, oil and commodities, manipulate commodity futures prices and make huge profits. In 2020, the price of oil futures fell to -30 dollars, which was the result of manipulation by American financial institutions.
Third, the US economy is strong. The United States has maintained the number one position in the world for 125 years. In 2065,438+08, the total GDP of the United States reached 20.49 trillion US dollars, accounting for 24% of the total GDP of the world, ranking first in the world. Japan's GDP is 4.97 trillion US dollars, ranking third in the world, while Germany's GDP is 4 trillion US dollars, ranking fourth in the world.
Fourth, in terms of military strength, the US Navy has a total tonnage of 3.52 million tons and a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier battle group of1/kloc-0. The U.S. navy can completely challenge the navies of all countries in the world, and its military strength ranks first in the world.
Fifth, the United States is the largest educational country in the world, and the best universities are gathered in the United States. Among the 50 universities in the world, the United States accounts for 28, and among the top five universities, the United States accounts for 4, namely Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University, Harvard University and California Institute of Technology. Excellent universities not only train a large number of talents from all walks of life for the United States every year, but also attract outstanding students from all over the world. For example, the best students in Tsinghua went to the United States after graduation, and most of them didn't come back. People from all over the world who study in the United States finally choose to work in the United States, which is tantamount to the obligation of the whole world to train the best talents for the United States.
Sixth, there are many powerful technology companies in the United States, such as Microsoft, Google, Apple, Qualcomm, Facebook and so on. Modern civilization originated in Europe and developed in the United States, such as the use of electricity, electric lights, computers, networks and airplanes. These great inventions all started in America, which has strong innovation ability.
Seventh, in agriculture, the United States ranks first in the world, with a total population of over 300 million and only over 2 million farmers. These 2 million farmers not only feed the whole country, but also export food to the whole world. American food exports account for 10% of the world food market, ranking first.
Eighth, in terms of cultural export, the United States is also the first in the world. The history of the United States is very short, only more than 240 years. American Hollywood blockbusters are exported to the world, and the United States exports its values to the world through Hollywood.
Ninth, in terms of energy, the United States lacks everything. In terms of oil export, the United States is already the world's number one oil producer, not only self-sufficient, but also exported to all parts of the world.
However, as a developed country, the economic growth rate of the United States has reached its limit, and even the 3% economic growth rate of the United States has not reached it. From the perspective of economic growth rate, the United States will be surpassed sooner or later, but from the perspective of economic aggregate and per capita GDP, it is difficult to surpass the United States in a short time.
