在21世纪中国能否追赶美国?如果能的话,追赶美国的含义是什么?或者说中国如何追赶美国?在哪些方面是我们追赶的重点和优先领域?第一,中国将明显缩小与美国经济总量的相对差距。麦迪森(1998)按实际购买力评价计算,1978年中国 GDP 相当于美国 GDP总量的23.0%,到1995年上升为52.0%,2000年为60.6%,进而在2015年左右超过美国。但是,那时中国人均 GDP 仍然大大低于美国,中国人均 GDP 由1995年相当于美国的1/10上升为2015年的1/5,缩小人均 GDP 的差距需要更长的时间。第二,中国应该优先缩小在人类发展指标(HDI)方面的相对差距,这包括人们 In the 21st century can China catch up with the United States? If so, what is the meaning of pursuing the United States? Or how China catches up with the United States? In what ways are the priorities and priorities of our catch-up? First, China will significantly reduce its overall economic ties with the U.S. economy The relative amount of difference. According to the actual purchasing power evaluation, Maddison (1998) calculated that in 1978 China’s GDP was equivalent to 23.0% of the total U.S. GDP, rising to 52.0% in 1995 and 60.6% in 2000, surpassing the United States in 2015 or so. However, China’s GDP per capita was still significantly lower than that of the United States at that time. China’s per capita GDP rose from 1/10 of that of the United States in 1995 to 1/5 of 2015. It took longer to narrow the gap in GDP per capita. Second, China should give priority to narrowing the relative gap in the Human Development Index (HDI), including people
