How did china and Japan left the third world countries tagged on them

[Rebirth01]

China and Japan were amongst the third world countries not long ago but went into development with the speed of light leaving behind the other third world countries. Both countries went into conscious, planned economy and discipline. Both countries moved from consuming economy to exporting countries. They went into mechanized agriculture, went into science and technology. Today, both countries are industrial super powers. The remaining third world countries are still grappling with poverty,low technology know how etc. The third world countries should borrow from what these two countries has achieved in terms of development.

Japan was never a third world country before. You are referring to economy, it was a developed country, but it suffered from the cold world war. The country later become better again.

But if you are referring to only China as a third world country before, you are right.

The remaining third world countries are still grappling with poverty,low technology know how etc. The third world countries should borrow from what these two countries has achieved in terms of development.

The greed of some rich people and leaders can not make many developing nations have rapids developments. I posted this because of some politics that is going on in my country among business owners that prefer import than export for their selfish reasons.

I will say that one of the biggest lessons to learn from countries like Japan and China is the importance of invest in human capital and education, mind you factories, roads and technology is also important too but trained professionals or talented individuals are the ones that drive long term development or economic growth. However, every country has It's opportunities and challenges, so development isn't about following another country's path exactly but about adapting successful ideas to align with local circumstances or conditions and remain committed to long term achievements or goals.

For me China and Japan invested in their population of which they have so much of and made so much from it. Many third world countries that are suffering now aren't really taking advantage of their human resources potential and this is so important to actually be aware of what puts you ahead of others.
Africa especially have lots of natural resources but still they are backward even with a strong youthful population.
China and Japan will continue to expand economically because they have laid down amazing foundation for them to build on.

China and Japan didn't become developed overnight. They focused on education, discipline, technology, industrialization and long term planning. Like instead of them to rely mainly on importing goods from other countries, they actually invested heavily in factories and local industries that produce goods for export. A clear example is how China is manufacturing phones, electronics, clothes and some machinery that are sold worldwide, while many developing countries mostly import these products.

And clearly Japan also did something similar after World War II by investing in education, technology and industries like automobiles. Today, brands like Toyota, Honda, and Sony are known globally. All these developing countries should know that real development comes from investing in quality education, agriculture, technology, infrastructure and local industries, while also reducing corruption and encouraging productivity. No country develops by consumption alone.

You seem pretty clueless when it comes to timescales because Japan revolutionized many decades ago and spent a long time building up their manufacturing abilities after WW2, they were modernized before China even started to rise - back in the 1980's and 1990's, if not before. China in previous years had the highest population country in the world, so it really should be no surprised that their government managed to capitalize off that fact. They built out as the "factory of the world" at a larger scale than Japan achieved and ultimately changed trade flows because of it. Other countries like India or countries in Africa simply did not have the same centralized power structures to enforce such a wholesale plan for improving the country.

Third world countries have high rate of unemployment, this is because of how reliant they are on countries that are very developed already. You can see it in their very low gross domestic product (GDP) because of the low man power in such countries. There are many countries like that not only in Africa, but also you can see them in Asia, The Caribbean in the Southern part of North America and another good example is Venezuela that has the highest oil reserves in the world but having the worst currencies in the world and high inflation.

It's the same in our country. The greed of politicians and rich people knows no bounds. Most, if not all, politicians here are greedy. Even at the lowest levels of government, there is corruption. Yet many people are still fanatics of these politicians.

That's why I don't think our country has much chance of progressing like some of our neighboring countries. It's like a sinking boat. It never seems to move forward, and honestly, I've already lost hope. When a politician shows even a little bit of help, people praise them endlessly and become loyal supporters, not realizing how much they have already taken. Many lack common sense when it comes to politics.

I don't think we will reach the level that Japan and China have achieved anytime soon.

It's very easy to look up to the future or create a World of impossibility to be possible from your inner mind but takes a determined courage with consistency to actualize it.
It's not that the rest of the third world countries doesn't have the resources to upgrade into the mechanized global influence but politics of the riches getting richer over public funds has corrupted the mind of their leaders that they can't afford to implement budgets for such independence as China is.
Not all political infrastructures actually want an ease to the betterment of their nations because they knows the benefits of enslaving their citizens in the dark of underdevelopments.
So they prefers to import than to export.

After World War II, the United States rebuilt Japan's economy. There's no mystery to this. In fact, it's easily explained: Japan hosts U.S. military bases, which are essentially occupied forces, and the country is essentially a U.S. protectorate, with its economy serving to support the dollar-based financial system.

However, the situation with China is more intriguing. In order to finally split the already bad relations between China and the USSR, Nixon in 1972 offered China to host production from the United States (China would provide cheap labor), which eventually made China a global factory. Gradually, China became a powerful economic force.

An important difference between China's financial system and Japan's is that while the yen is a "derived" currency from the dollar (like the ruble or the euro), the yuan is not based on the dollar. This does not mean that the yuan is highly reliable. China, like the United States, has financial system issues, but it does indicate the independence of its financial system.

I got confused when you stated Japan as considered third-world country not long ago then I looked at Japans economic status, and was stated that it was never been labeled as third world country, but in history, Japan was actually referred as third world country, not in economic terms, but as a political alignment, something like a faction or grouping.  See: Third World

About China, China went from the richest, most advanced, and center of trade in ancient/medieval times, to a poor country, to a global economic power.  I think China has its own resources to make its country great. In times when China's economy becomes poor, it shows how internal conflict, constant warring through civil wars, and external pressure and conflict can weaken a once-wealthy country.   But Chinese history also shows that once these negative circumstance is controlled, it can regain its former glory of being one of the super powers of the world.

So when we are talking about economic development, it is all about how the civil and economic situation is being controlled.  It is also about the government trashing corrupt officials, and publicly informing the masses about the case and how it was processed, announcing the conviction through state media.

All in all, it is about weeding out corrupt and incompetent officials in office.
