Ministry of Commerce responds to gross domestic product exceeding Japan's more than 40 million people are not out of poverty

(Reporter Liu Ying) at the Ministry of Commerce's regular press conference yesterday, the Ministry of Commerce spokesman Yao Jian said that GDP data is only a reflection of national economic strength, compared to GDP data, should be concerned about per capita data. China's GDP per capita is only 3800 U.S. dollars, ranked 105th in the world.　　And according to the Chinese income of 1300 yuan poverty standard line, there are more than 40 million people across the country are not out of poverty. The latest figures show that China has overtaken Japan as the world's second-largest economy. However, it is widely accepted that the seating of the second largest economy should not be exaggerated blindly. Yao expressed the same point. He said there were 150 million people in China who could not reach the United Nations one-dollar income per day, that is, China is a developing country with a large number of poor people, followed by a global GDP of 100. And these are only at the data level. The quality of China's economic development has yet to be improved, in the course of economic development, the development of the social field lags behind, in education, culture, health and other fields, China still has a lot of development space.
