Israel** recently released a ranking of the influence of the world's great powers, which believes that there are currently three countries in the world with great economic, technological and military strength, which are "not to be easily provoked".
It is an emigrant, founded in 1776 and has a long history of nationhood. The United States has a vast land area of about 9.6 million square kilometers and a population of more than 300 million. Not only is the United States an economic powerhouse, with a GDP of $20 trillion in 2020, but it also dominates nearly a quarter of the world's economic output.
In terms of scientific and technological innovation, innovation centers such as Silicon Valley in the United States have given birth to countless world-class high-tech companies, and the United States has been leading the development direction of cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence and biotechnology.
The United States ranks first in the world in spending, reaching $778.2 billion in 2020, more than three times that of China, which ranks second. The United States has military bases all over the world, and uses its powerful air strike power to influence the world pattern. It can be said that the global influence of the United States is unmatched by other countries.
Russia also has a long history as the largest country in the world by area, spanning two continents, Europe and Asia. Russia has experienced a downturn after the collapse of the Soviet Union in the 90s of the 20th century, but has regained its national strength since the 21st century.
Today, Russia is the world's largest exporter of natural gas and the second-largest oil producer.
Russia also has strength in defense science and technology, and its advanced fighter jets and air defense systems occupy a place in the export market. Russia is trying to regain its Soviet-era global influence through a military strengthening strategy.
China has a long history and is an ancient country in the world with more than 5,000 years of civilization development. In particular, over the past 40 years of reform and opening up, China's economy has grown rapidly, its scientific and technological strength has been greatly enhanced, and the country's comprehensive strength has been significantly enhanced.
China has become the world's second-largest economy after the United States, with a GDP of 147 trillion dollars. China is also the world's largest country, ranking first in terms of total import and export volume.
In terms of scientific and technological innovation, China has increased R&D investment, made major technological breakthroughs in high-speed rail, telecommunications, e-commerce and other fields, and is transitioning to a high-end industrial chain. China's huge market potential and the Belt and Road Initiative have been echoed by more than 100 countries, making China an emerging global power.
Today, all three powers have significant influence in global economic and security affairs. The United States is firmly in the position of the world's largest power with its strong comprehensive national strength, Russia is regaining its strength and striving to regain the respect of world powers, and China is moving towards becoming a new type of world power.
Other countries must carefully consider their policy orientation when dealing with them. The global strategies of these three countries will have a profound impact on the future political and economic direction of the world.
