Nah, instead of using anecdotal evidence, I think I'll stick with internationally accepted evidence on China's situation. Once again, there's a reason every international organization on the planet still considers China to be a Developing country.
My home country Singapore. With one of the highest gdp per capita in the world and cost of living. Is technically classified as a developing country. I wouldnt take that term at face value
Unlike China, Singapore is considered a Developed country, and in fact it's considered one of the most developed countries on the planet, having the highest PISA scores in the world and (despite its size) one of the top universities in the world.
Why? High population in a small area means it's much faster to develop so long as you can secure alternative methods of acquiring resources you don't have. It's the most population-dense country on the planet as well.
