Surprise to surprise, but Muhammad did not lose his mind.

It is undeniable that the achievements made by Huaxia in modernization are obvious to all, and it is not an exaggeration to describe them as "unprecedented."

Unprecedented, of course, there is no need to say more.

In the 70 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and in the early 40 years since the reform and opening up, this country with a population of 1.4 billion has become the world's largest industrial country from a poor and backward agricultural country, and has built the world's second largest economy on the ruins of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and Civil War.

It is certainly unique in history.

Saying no, that's pretty much the same.

At least judging from the current global situation, no country can replicate the miracle of modernization created by China, and it cannot even imitate it.

In terms of population size, there is only one country at the same level as China, that is, India, which will surpass China in terms of population within a few years.

It's just that if you want to truly surpass Huaxia, even if you just catch up with Huaxia, it's just a fantasy.

Among other things, the illiteracy rate in India is as high as 60 percent!

Of the other 40 percent of Indians who have received education, less than 5 percent have received higher education, and almost all of the rest have only primary school education, which means that they can read books and newspapers.

What about Huaxia?

Last year, Huaxia's university enrollment reached 9.5 million, and the proportion of higher education was as high as 40 percent!

Even the other 60 percent have received a junior high school education or higher, and many have mastered professional skills and have the ability to become skilled workers.

In fact, India does not even have a unified language and script.

Although Hindi and English are the official languages, most states have their own national languages, and as a result, most students in India have to learn three languages!

Isn't that asking for trouble for yourself?

How much time is spent learning a language, how much time is spent learning mathematics, physics, biology, chemistry, history, geography, etc.?

Know that language is just a communication tool and doesn't help with productivity.

To put it mildly, there are no universal public toilets in India!

How can a country that can't even build toilets achieve industrialization and modernization?

In the words of social and historians, India and China have existed for at least 2,000 years.

Why?

Because India lacks a great man of history like Qin Shi Huang!

You know, it was only after it became a British colony that India was truly unified, and before that, no dynasty had unified the whole of India.

Today's India is more like a confederation built on the heritage of the British.

In addition, the cultural gap is even more obvious.

It is undeniable that in modern times, China is indeed very backward, and it has been humiliated by Western powers, and even beaten all over the body by former students.

Only, what about before that?

Starting from the Qin and Han dynasties, for more than 2,000 years, how long has China not been a powerful country?

It can be said that for more than 2,000 years in recorded history, China was the most powerful country in the world for the vast majority of the time, and was the hegemon of the entire Eastern world.

During the Han and Tang dynasties, Huaxia was the United States today.

The culture that has long been due to history has made the Chinese people, that is, the descendants of Yan and Huang, unswervingly believe that as long as they work together and work hard, China will be the most powerful country in the world, and it will inevitably become the most powerful nation on this planet one day in the future.

What about India?

In the 21st century, we are still bound by the extremely ignorant and barbaric caste concept from the slave society.

What's worse is that the rulers above not only do not take this as a problem, but also complace themselves on the noble caste they have.

Can a people controlled by this culture grow stronger?

Not to mention half a century, even if India is given a few hundred years, it may not be able to surpass China.

The question is, can Huaxia's successful experience be replicated?

In other words, can other countries use the Chinese development model to carry out modernization?

The answer is clearly no.

There are three crucial factors for China's success, one is history and culture, the second is a large population, and the third is the basic national conditions.

Of the three, you can't do without one.

Obviously, the only country that has these three conditions is China.

The first two are easy to understand, while the third factor is often overlooked.

Why?

As early as a few decades ago, some Western scholars predicted that China would become a middle-income country at best, and then it would fall into the middle-income trap like Brazil.

What about the actual situation?

Last year, China's per capita GDP exceeded $10,000 and is expected to cross the $12,000 mark in 2024 and 2027 at the latest.

According to the standards given by the United Nations, this is the upper limit of the middle income.

Exceeding this level, it has entered the ranks of quasi-developed countries.

In fact, the "middle-income trap" itself is a false proposition, or a proposition of Western economics, that cannot be applied to China at all.

What is the root cause of the middle-income trap?

To put it more bluntly, it is actually a democratic system flaunted by Western countries.

When a country initially achieves industrialization and begins to march into the ranks of developed countries, the biggest problem actually comes from itself.

To put it simply, it is whether it can continue to develop steadily.

If something goes wrong at this time, you move into the middle-income trap.

What went wrong?

That is, when a country's social wealth accumulates to a certain extent, the people's demand for quality of life will increase significantly, and it will inevitably invest more resources in areas unrelated to production, which will have an impact on investment, that is, the country's modernization.

In fact, this is similar to the transition to a welfare-based society in the developed countries of Western Europe.

In Western democracies, leaders who formulate national development strategies must take into account the feelings of the electorate, use policies to win the support of the electorate, and thus have to compromise with the voters.

Unfortunately, the people's choice is not necessarily the best choice.

Let's not forget that it is the head of the person who decides the vote, not the vision of the individual.

Everyone wants to live a comfortable life, preferably without working to be rich and satisfied, but this is absolutely impossible to happen in reality, at least not to everyone, so the leaders of the country must have a clear understanding, and therefore cannot be driven by the will of the people.

Unfortunately, in Western democracies, this is inevitable.

Of course, having said all this, Crown Prince Mohammed's main concern is whether Huaxia's experience is effective, and whether Huaxia has the ability to help Saudi Arabia embark on the path of modernization, so that Saudi Arabia can get rid of its dependence on oil and make Saudi Arabia a real industrial power.
