US magazine pushes best Country list 59th place in China's comprehensive happiness list

According to the August 17 Global Times reported that the United States "Newsweek" 16th for the first time launched the "Best Country" rankings, 100 countries in the world in education, health, quality of life, economic competitiveness and political environment, such as the overall well-being of 5 rankings. Finland, Switzerland and Sweden are the top three. China is in 59th place.　　The United States failed to enter the top 10, ranked 11th. Newsweek analyses that the "best countries" tend to be small nations of a single nation, with little or no geopolitical status and no harm done to others. America does not seem to be as invincible as it was 10 years ago. The report said that as a recognized future superpower, China's economy has soared, patent applications are far faster than the United States, and the number of well-educated engineers more than the United States. But the United States still easily overwhelms China on almost all major indicators. In the unspoken trading of the global system, many countries are willing to give the United States military and strategic leadership in exchange for higher welfare and living standards.　　In addition, the dollar's unique position is an important part of American power. Jindonglai, a professor at the Center for Sino-American Cultural Studies at Nanjing University, says the United States will be at the centre of the international system for a long time now and in the future. But the United States also has a lot of contradictions and problems, in the medical, education and other aspects of its short board. Jindonglai that China's rankings are also consistent with what most people feel. He said that China's economy has developed rapidly in recent years, and many aspects are better than most developing countries. However, there are still difficulties and problems in China, which need improvement in many areas such as increasing residents ' income, improving social security and improving the natural environment. ▲ (Luchang)
