A German professor who studies international issues has made a bold statement about China's development in 2024, and he believes that 2024 will be a crucial turning point for China, and three major events will also occur in China, which will have a profound impact on the coming decades.
The first thing has to do with the tech sector.
The professor believes that in 2024, China will make significant progress in the field of semiconductors and will gradually realize the localization of high-end chips.
In recent years, the competition in the field of semiconductors has become more and more fierce, and the United States and the European Union have launched a technical blockade on China's semiconductor industry, and the development of China's semiconductor industry has become extremely difficult in the past few years.
However, the technological blockade is a double-edged sword, which has suppressed China's semiconductor industry at the same time, but also made the semiconductor industry develop towards full localization, and in 2023, Huawei will launch a flagship mobile phone using domestic chips for the first time in many years, which is also an important achievement in China's semiconductor field.
Perhaps there is still a certain gap between this and the international mainstream consumer-grade chips, but I believe that with the passage of time, the gap between domestic chips and the world's mainstream chips will be reduced step by step, and finally achieve technological catch-up.
The second thing is that it has to do with international issues.
The current world pattern is generally peaceful, and although there are conflicts of interest between the major powers, they still maintain considerable restraint and avoid large-scale direct conflicts.
The general environment is generally peaceful, but the conflict and chaos in some areas are becoming more and more intense, and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine still shows no sign of ending, while the chaos in the Middle East has begun to spread, which has had a major impact on important areas such as international food production and oil.
China, as a world power, is clearly responsible, and in March 2023 China helped Iran and Saudi Arabia reach a reconciliation agreement.
In the past, Western countries have also tried to ease relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran, but in the end they all ended in failure, and the conflict and confrontation between the two countries will not end, and peace will never be reached in the Middle East.
So when China, Iran, and Saudi Arabia issued a joint statement, the reaction of the world's mainstream countries was unbelievable, and such an incredible thing was actually made for China to do it.
The rapprochement between Saudi Arabia and Iran has also greatly eased the escalation of the situation in the Middle East, and China has played an important role in this.
According to the German professor, in 2024 our country will play a greater role in promoting world peace.
The third thing is about the ageing of the population.
Starting from 2022, China has officially entered the era of negative population growth, according to official data, the number of elderly people in China has exceeded 300 million, and with the decrease in the number of births, the aging problem will be further exacerbated in the future.
It is obviously imperative to increase the protection and welfare policies for the elderly, and the imbalance in the distribution of pensions is also a problem that needs to be solved.
On the other hand, it is also important to improve fertility welfare and stimulate the growth of the new population.
The German professor is optimistic about China's solution to the problem of population aging, because China's economy is still growing at a high rate, and the technology sector is also breaking the technological blockade of the West.
The German professor firmly believes that as long as the pace of development does not stop, there are infinite possibilities. Kunpeng Project
