At present, there are four recognized developed countries in Asia, namely Japan, South Korea, Singapore and Israel.

But many people think that China is a developed country, but in terms of per capita GDP, China is not a developed country.

developed countries refer to those countries with high level of economic and social development and high people's living standards, also known as high economic development countries. Developing countries, also known as developing countries and underdeveloped countries, refer to countries with low economic, technological and people's living standards, as opposed to developed countries.

most of the developed countries are in the post-industrial stage, with the service industry as the mainstay. While developing countries are in the stage of industrialization.
