This post is ridiculous! If you don't think China is a developing nation then you probably don't know anything about China beyond it's name. The very fact that you point out Canada's GDP in comparison reinforces how phenomenally backwards that comment is. Canada's GDP ($1.511 trillion) is only 1/3 of China's GDP ($4.402 trillion) while the population of Canada is 1/50 of China's population. How does that not support the view that Canada is MUCH more developed than China!?!

Here is some more reading on levels of poverty in China that might further enlighten you to China's state of development. A country with 12-13% of adults living on $1.25/day or less has some serious development in store for it yet.
