That's our country.
As one of the largest countries in the world, we have the world's largest industrial production capacity, and the manufacturing industry contributes to a quarter of the world's industrial output value, so the overall development is still very good.
This time, according to the experts of the Korea Institute for Development Strategy, the evaluation of the mainland's Global Leadership Competency Index is introduced:
Since ancient times, China has been a country with global influence in many fields such as culture, economy, and politics.
In particular, with the advancement of economic opening up and modernization, China's ability to become a global leader in various fields has been continuously enhanced.
For example, from an economic point of view, China has become the world's second largest economy, accounting for an increasing proportion of global GDP year by year, and also has the world's most complete industrial chain and the world's largest market.

As one of the permanent members of the UN Security Council, their role in world peace and development has become increasingly prominent, for example, in many major international affairs, China has played the role of a responsible major country, promoting the development of the international order in a more just and reasonable direction.
Finally, in terms of culture, China's influence is also expanding around the world, especially with the improvement of China's international status, the Chinese language fever continues to heat up around the world, and more and more people have a strong interest in traditional Chinese culture and modern civilization, which makes China's global leadership ability more and more obvious.
