Definition of "developing country" from WTO.

China is no longer a developing country. The can say they are developing but that is no longer true.

?? So your link says anyone can present themselves as developing. what alternative definition contradicts this?
China surely has some very shiny metropoli, but there is a few decades worth of modernization to be done still as you go inland.
Fast forward to 2018, China and USA already agreed to WTO rules with China considered as a developing countries and thus granted special rights such as protection of its industries. Then USA unilaterally breaks WTO rules with tariffs with an arbitrary interpretation of "national security" and wants a signature of a one way deal where USA gets all the rights and controls but doesn't give anything. I'm sorry but history teaches you that kind of deals will get your citizens subjugated by foreign powers or foreign corporations.
