During the Tang Dynasty, China was the most developed country in the world! Now, the positive world number one is that our country is now the country with the largest acceleration of economic development in the world! There are also many negative firsts: The number of patent applications in the world is the first, and most of them are fake. In 2005, the number of patent applications in my country reached 470,000, and the number of trademark applications reached 650,000. The two figures add up to more than 1 million cases, setting a record for global intellectual property applications. Among the three types of patents, invention patents best reflect innovation capabilities. Three-quarters of my country's invention patent authorizations are owned by foreigners. As of November 2005, domestic invention patents accounted for only 24.38% of my country's patent applications. Japan applies for more than 400,000 invention patents every year, and the United States applies for more than 200,000 invention patents, both of which have the largest number of patent applications among their respective countries. For the 10 electronic information companies with the largest number of patent applications in my country, the sum of their applications in five years is only equivalent to the number of patents applied by IBM in the United States in one year. 97% of the world's intellectual property rights are in the hands of developed countries, and our independent intellectual property rights are less than 2%. We cannot help but see that in the global industrial division of labor chain, the Chinese are still in the status of "wage earners" to a large extent. At present, China's total scientific and technological human resources have reached 32 million, ranking first in the world. However, our country's scientific research results are not satisfactory: the output rate of basic scientific research is very low, and there are very few high-quality and influential research papers published every year. In addition, in recent years, our country's scientific and technological circles have been riddled with plagiarism, infringement scandals, and falsehoods. The wind of exaggeration. In 2003, my country's science and technology competition index ranked 38th in the world. From 1993 to 2003, the number of Chinese SCI papers was 253,566, accounting for 2.48 of the global SCI papers. The number of R&D personnel required to create a unit of GDP in my country is 3.68 times that of Japan, and the number of scientists and engineers required in China is 4.48 times that of the United States. This shows that measured by their contribution to GDP, 4-5 Chinese scientific researchers can equal one American scientific researcher. In tobacco alone, China ranks first in 8 of the world: No. 1 in flue-cured tobacco planting area, No. 1 in flue-cured tobacco production, No. 1 in the world in growth rate of flue-cured tobacco, No. 1 in the number of smokers... The number of people who die from road traffic injuries in China every year Ranking first in the world. China has 1.9% of the world's cars, but accounts for 15% of the world's traffic fatal accidents. In 2005, nearly 100,000 people died in road traffic accidents in China. China's traffic accident rate is 100 times that of Japan. The number of students enrolled in higher education in China has increased from 6.28 million in 1998 to 14 million now, ranking first in the world. Judging from the payment ratio, China's current expenditure on college students is more than twice that of Japan, which is "the highest in the world"! China's education expenditure as a share of GDP has been declining for three consecutive years. China's current investment in education as a share of GDP is 3.41, of which Social capital accounts for 1.94 of GDP. Among the 200 countries and regions in the world, very few have social capital exceeding 2. This means that ordinary people pay extremely high fees to support education. Our country is the world's largest coal-producing country, and our country's death rate per million tons of coal mining is also the highest in the world. In 2004, my country produced 1.66 billion tons of coal, accounting for 3.32% of the world's total. However, the number of fatalities in mining accidents nationwide was 6,027, accounting for 80% of the total number of fatalities in mining accidents in the world. In the same year, the United States produced nearly 1 billion tons of coal, but only 27 people died in coal mine safety accidents. my country's mortality rate per million tons in 2004 was 3.96, while that in the United States was 0.039. The number of fatalities in coal mine accidents in China was more than 100 times that of the United States. In addition, pneumoconiosis is common among miners. The cumulative number of pneumoconiosis cases in China is equivalent to the total number of pneumoconiosis patients in other countries in the world. China's real estate industry has set many firsts in the world: the ratio of China's housing prices to per capita annual income is as high as 12:1, ranking first in the world. The average profit margin of Chinese real estate is 30, ranking first in the world. Recently, the Ministry of Construction stated that my country’s urban housing private ownership rate is close to 82%, ranking first in the world.

On the other hand, Morgan Stanley chief economist Stephen Roach once said, "Currently, two-thirds of countries and regions are facing a real estate bubble crisis, and among all countries and regions with real estate bubbles, China ranks first." Do Chinese people really have a place to live? The number of people without any medical insurance ranks first in the world: In February 2005, the famous survey company Zero Point Company conducted a household survey in 7 cities across the country, towns and villages in 7 provinces. The result of the survey is: 65.7% of people do not have any medical insurance. That is, among the 1.3 billion Chinese people, 845 million do not have any medical insurance. The world's largest expenditure on public funds: Chinese officials spend more than 300 billion yuan on food and drink with public funds every year, and China's annual official car expenses are equivalent to more than 300 billion yuan in money, both ranking first in the world. The number of death penalty cases in China ranks first in the world: nearly 10,000 cases of immediate execution are sentenced in China every year, which is almost five times the number of death penalty cases in all other countries in the world combined. China's official-to-civilian ratio ranks first in the world: China's officially announced official-to-civilian ratio currently reaches 1:28 (one theory is 1:18), ranking first in the world. Ranking first in the world in foreign trade dependence: China's foreign trade dependence has reached 80%, which is much higher than the level of other developed and developing countries. The world’s longest working hours: China has become one of the countries with the longest working hours in the world, with per capita working hours exceeding Japan and South Korea. With the popularity of overtime, it is estimated that as many as 600,000 people die from overwork every year. The per capita shopping expenditure of Chinese tourists traveling abroad is as high as US$987, ranking first in the world. In recent years, the income gap between China's urban and rural areas has been widening. The per capita income ratio between urban and rural China increased from 2.8 in 1995 to 3.1 in 2002. If non-monetary factors such as medical care, education, and unemployment insurance are taken into account, China's urban-rural income gap is the highest in the world. Now that China's economy has developed and its comprehensive national strength has increased, it doesn't matter if China has the strength to build more world-firsts. It just might as well strive to build "the world's most livable city" and "the world's first university." In the minds of ordinary people, "the tallest TV tower" is not as important as "the hospital that reassures patients"; "the school with the most reasonable fees" is more important than the "biggest Ferris wheel"; no one would rather have "the world's most complete social security system" than "the most reassuring hospital". Where is the "World's Longest Arch Bridge" built... What the people are most concerned about now is: when will "Serving the People" be the first in the world, but this seems to be only after the realization of communism. This is another story that God cannot describe in time. joke.
