Chinese GNP and its components in 2003 Billions of dollars Year C I G CA GNP 2003 5683.44 5596.30 2061.51 298.63 13639.88 数据来源：中国国家统计局 The figure above shows how Chinese GNP was divided among its four components in 2003. As we can see in the figure, consumption and investment account for nearly the same percent of the GNP, while in the US, the consumption is the biggest components and investment is greatly smaller than consumption. Perhaps this information can explain why the US is the rich developed country while China is still a developing country. The amount consumed by the private domestic residents was the largest in the U.S tells us that the disposable income of Americans was sound , which lead to a high level of GNP relative to population size. Now, let’s see the situation in China. In order to achieve a high level of GNP, the government always increases investment to compensate for the shortage of the other three components. The policy may be useful in some way, but people’s living standard hasn’t improved and there always a phenomenon that the rich are becoming more rich while the poor becomes even poor .In addition, government economists and statisticians may be better to think about other ways to encourage economy and increase the GNP relative to population size.
