Recently, the Internet has been dominated by Russian-Ukrainian news, and at the same time, our understanding of Ukraine may be limited to Ukraine's abundant beauty, and others know very little. But you can imagine that Ukraine's GDP in 1987 was $64.1 billion, while China's GDP at that time was only $273 billion, so it can be said that the economic strength is basically comparable to China's.
But now, Ukraine's GDP is only 156 billion US dollars, while the mainland GDP is more than 17 trillion, almost 100 times that of Ukraine, and Xinjiang's GDP in 2021 is more than 200 billion US dollars, which also exceeds it.
The granary of Europe
Ukraine's land area is about 603,700 square kilometers, the population is about 44 million people, and now the GDP is about 156 billion US dollars, per capita GDP of about 3545 US dollars, and the mainland 1.4 billion people, per capita GDP are more than 10,000 US dollars, it is conceivable that Ukraine has a lot of span, but do we know that Ukraine has the world's largest black land, accounting for about three-quarters of the world's black land area, and the northeast of the so-called mainland granary, black land accounts for only less than a quarter, at the same time, Ukraine also has rich natural gas resources, the reserves rank second in Europe, and rich iron ore Manganese ore, Ukraine has such a good hand, but now it is playing a mess, why?
When Ukraine was divided, it can be said that except for Russia, it was the most divided, so that it had a large number of industrial bases, as well as supporting technology and personnel, but when the family was separated, it was not ready, there was no sound management system, so many people only wanted to make money, no one sought development, sold state property at a low price, and slowly formed an oligopoly.
What does economic development depend on?
The United States is also one of the world's largest grain exporters, and also sells oil, coal and natural gas, but the United States does not rely on these to make money, but uses these as a means of competition, and the most profitable is to rely on science and technology and finance. Let's take a look at how much money Apple, the most representative technology company in the United States, can make in a year? In 2021, Apple's annual net profit reached $94.68 billion, which is also nearly $100 billion, which is almost the GDP of Ukraine for the whole year. Apple's raw materials and production are carried out in other countries, but most of the profits earned are their own, relying on industrial added value, that is, the added benefits of the most cutting-edge technology.
Let's take a look at the price level of Ukraine, the per capita income level of Ukraine is only more than 1,000 yuan per month, and many agricultural products are very cheap, the same black land rice, it is about 4 yuan per kilogram, and our northeast five permanent rice, estimated to be more than a dozen, but in Ukraine, imported things are more expensive, such as mobile phones, in Ukraine are not all popular, and the mainland, basically everyone has a mobile phone, The monthly income of Ukrainians can not even buy a mobile phone. This is the harm of not having an industrial base.
This also explains why Huawei was beaten so badly by the United States, the original United States rely on technology that piece, they do nothing, let the world work for it, it also divides the biggest cake, but now, Huawei has successfully broken through the manufacturing boundary, break through which side of technology, the United States does not want Huawei to share this cup of soup, so it has to want to recruit to limit Huawei, at the same time, like Aliyun, is also the largest cloud service company in Asia, but also in the field of technology can share a piece of the company, and other companies, not in the game, make money for teenagers , is to engage in takeaway, to make some business money.
Agriculture solves what, it solves the problem of food and clothing, and industry solves the problem of how you live, but technology and finance are the problems that determine how much you can get, so what do you think is the most important?
