Don't pay too much attention to China's historical GDP and world ranking, because as an ancient country, any economy is illusory. Moreover, all countries in ancient society developed independently, and there was no problem that the per capita GDP exceeded several times that of other countries. It is impossible to say that China's output value exceeds half of the world's, because in ancient times, all countries in the world were agricultural economies. In this case, the total GDP is made up of the number of people, and the total number of people is large. In the history of China and other countries in the world.

Therefore, GDP ranks high, indicating that it is already a bird of economic power. However, the standard of a world power is not only to see whether it is a strong country economically. World powers also include political powers, cultural powers and military powers, regional influence and world influence.

For example, during the Southern Song Dynasty and the Ming and Qing Dynasties, China was an economic power, and its GDP was one of the highest in the world. However, it was also beaten by northern nationalities and foreign invaders, and it was beaten into grandchildren, reparations and tributes.

Therefore, there is at least one criterion for a world power, that is, a country with territorial integrity, unity and no one to be underestimated. China is not yet, China still has the reality that Taiwan Province Province is separated from Hong Kong and Macao, China is often provoked and humiliated by neighboring countries, and China is still far from the goal of becoming a world power.
