To think maps of 1st, 2nd and 3rd world countries are all over the internet. Omo dullard's full here.

from the coloured map you posted, so Turkiye is a first world country while Russia and China are second world because the US says so abi?

US did not classify countries. You can provide your own source of classification of countries. Even Chinese and Russian scholars know that their countries are not first world countries.
Primary school knowledge.

Isn't it obvious there is an error on the map..well that's an error and I admit and I fixed it as well. I don't argue blindly.
So can you help your friends provide proof China is a first world country?

Atleast Show us a proof where Russia and China even made a claim that they are first world countries.

What made Nato countries first world but China second, because US called them so? Una need mental evaluation.
A country even more advanced than the entire Nato is second , while Scandinavian European countries are first world. Ode

To be a first world country you have to practice democracy does China practice democracy

I am co-asking as well. It's been crickets since aside the insults. The guy CLAIMED China is a FIRST WORLD country. I expect him to back up his claims with facts, references, links, pictures e.t.c Perhaps their scholar that just arrived can help us.

What are the metrics for differentiating countries into 1st, 2nd and 3rd world?

The indices of growth and development are what is used to rate a country. Which are life expectancy level, infant and maternal mortality rate. Advancement in technology., Good Infrastructures ranging from health infrastructures to others that drive economic growth, GDP, GNP etc. Being a democracy or not has nothing to do with that. So many ignorant people on Nairaland. Na wah o.

If you know the indices of growth and development you won't say China and Russia aren't first world. Use those indices to measure both countries and draw your conclusion. That is if you know what Growth and Development is and their indices.

The First World consisted of the U.S., Western Europe and their allies. The Second World was the so-called Communist Bloc: the Soviet Union, China, Cuba and friends. The remaining nations, which aligned with neither group, were assigned to the Third World. The Third World has always had blurred lines


Please, can this end now?
These are not actually economic classifications.

Thank you jare. Don't mind the olodos.

Enugurangers:

I need a proof as well sir. They are calling you a prof.

I'm not a Prof but certainly not a dummy like those guys here.

You don't expect me to prove their case for them. They said China isn't a first world country (for goodness sake, no one even used that term again) and I replied by saying they're wrong because the ratings of countries like China, Russia, and co as 2nd World countries while the west that does the rating are called 1st world countries is PURELY down to ideological and geopolitical differences during the the cold war.

For example, West Germany was classified as 1st word while East Germany was classified as 2nd world. Why? Because the western part was ruled by the West (the US and its allies) while the Eastern part was ruled by the East (the Soviet Union and its Warsaw Pact allies). Hence, the classification was purely ideological because the the West and East were the same before the Berlin Wall was built.

Today, the story is still the same although it has improved compared to previous times.
The United Nations and other world renown agencies are no longer using 1st world, 2nd world and 3rd world ratings (you can only find the last one on textbooks or newspapers publications when referencing African and MiddleEastern countries). The new terminology now is "Developed and Developing nations". So, these people still basing their ratings on the old scale of 1st, 2nd and 3rd is wrong ab initio.

Now, when it comes to the United Nations Human Development Index used in ranking and classifying nations as developed, these guys forget that the HDI also has many challenges because some of its indices used in gauging such ratings are seriously flawed and at variance with some other bodies because they do not take somethings like population difference into consideration.

For instance, the full HDI 2020 list, starts on a count of 0.1 to .80. Any score .80 or higher is developed, and anything lower is developing.

In arriving at this list, the HDI is quantified by looking at a country's human development, such as education, health, and life expectancy.
Surprisingly, Turkey is on that list as developed, Honk Kong is there too, Montenegro and Kazhastan too, but China is not. Yet, when you compared some of the indices between China and Montenegro here: https://www.worlddata.info/country-comparison.php?country1=CHN&country2=MNE, you would agreed that China should be up there as well, not to mention the huge size difference in population and achievement in sectors like industrialization and technology that were ignored by the HDI.


Now, what about Honk kong, which is under Chinese rule as at present? Except people want to sell a stone that Turkey is more "democratic" and politically stable than China.

Should there really be the same HDI comparison between Qatar, Malta to China giving the sheer differences in the socio- economic and political culture/reality and geographical spread?

For example, San Marino, Saudi Arabia and Slovenia and Mauritius are ranked as developed nations because they score a rating of 0.8 or higher based on the HDI indices stated earlier. But the reality is that, these countries are not even up to some villages or one town in China in terms of population. What this mean is that supposing a city like Beijing which has 21 million people has excellent healthcare and top-notch human services, that qualifies it as developed region, it still would be termed not developed simply because some few areas in China lacked similar quality in the aforementioned indices. Meanwhile, San Marino which has a population of less than 34,000 people would be termed developed simply because the aforementioned HDI indices were easily spread across the nation which is not even up to size of my village.

If that is not flawed, then I wonder what is.

VKN23:

To be a first world country you have to practice democracy does China practice democracy

Another seriously flawed logic.

If democracy is the criteria for rating a country as developed (since all the agencies and organizations doing the ratings no longer uses 1st, 2nd or 3rd countries), then how would you rate Saudi Arabia, a monarchy which the UN HDI rated as a developed nation?.

The US do classify nations as developed or developing. Checkout the CIA World Factbook.

There are no first world, second world or third world nations any more. Those terms are gone now even though some people still use them loosely.

"https://www.history.com/news/why-are-countries-classified-as-first-second-or-third-world "

And those ( like some of you here) who wants to use them as a ranking scheme were described as "perfect nonesense" by this academic website:

"http://www.hartford-hwp.com/archives/10/150.html"

The proper term now is Developed or Developing nations. These are the terms the UN HDI is currently using to rank developed or developing nations of the world. And contrary to what you want to believe, Russia is rated as developed nation by the UN HDI.

Stop embarrassing yourself.

See as you have brought links here. You even added a screenshot, so you are not dull afterall. I was beginning to think you were.

Now do the same (links, screenshots e.t.c) to support the claim of your Minion that China is a first world country. We will be waiting.

East and West Germany were same before but not the same after the 2nd world war.

After the war,
East Germany = Oppressive
West Germany= Affluent

It's common knowledge that people were risking limbs and lives to cross from East to West just like North Koreans often try to cross to South Korea. There was an order to shoot East Germans that try to cross to the West.

The point is the ideological difference which led to the classification of 1st and 2nd and 3rd world countries, terms that no one uses any more.

- If you knew this, then why were you rooting for someone that says China is a "1st world country" ?
- Instead of correcting him/them that "according to ideological differences", China is/was a 2nd world country.

I am just curious.
