Hong Kong is not a nation.lol :bash: :bash: :bash:neon said:
Second World includes all of Latin America and Eastern Europe
I would say at least in the countrysides (which house the vast majority of populations in these two countries), India and China are 3rd world. The parts of Asia that are growing quickly will be second world soon, but they are not there yet.

what is the standard of 2nd world??
The old definition of 1st, 2nd and 3rd world is 1st world = capitalist, 2nd world = communists, and 3rd world = everyone else. Obviously, with the collaps of communism, there needs to be a new distinction.
For me, the First World includes North America (US, Canada), All of Western Europe (EU 15 + Norway, Sweden and Iceland), Japan, SK, and Australia. These are very wealthy economies with large, diverse markets with wealthy consumers
For me, I would think the "New" second world would be those countries that are not quite up to snuff in regards to the first world (large structural problems, not as wealthy). However, they have a moderate amount of wealth. I would include all of Latin America as the "second world." In addition, I would add South Africa.
I would lump all other countries, including India and China, as the Third World. All of Africa north of South Africa, essentially all of Asia except Japan and SK (including Taiwan as a part of China), have large majorities of people that do not have the basic amenities of the first and second world, namely, access to education and at least moderate levels of development.
I think what we will see is the Second World remaining stagnant, with fast growing countries in Asia entering the Second World.

China is not third world, not even on History.DonQui said:
Third world is mostly decribed to some small countries in Aisa, most of Africa or South American Countries (things may change due to the economic development, especially for some of the South American coutries like Brazil or Argentina, or Mexico)
As a country with more than 1.2 Billion population (China)
you can never define it as a third country.

No, the three worlds concept is no longer used. Terms that have taken its place are developed/developing/underdeveloped nations.

who told you the number,you'r really bullshit.dont make fake data,will you???DonQui said:
where did you get that figure? less than 10% live in abject poverty, many live in relative poverty however, means that there's huge wealthy disparity between urban and rural.
was China classified as second world or third world during Cold War? China was communist but we never got along well with Russians.
Singapore is also third world?
