Are China and India correct in calling themselves "developing nations"?

Developing Nation status gives both an exemption to green house gas emission caps as well as trade and development incentives.Both have developed nuclear power and weapons programs and China has put a man in orbit.


With thier technological developments,is it fair to the rest of the world and specifically true developing nations to continue China's and India's developing nation status?

Are China and India correct in calling themselves "developing nations"?
Another term that is a bunch of bunk! They are both still third world as far as I can tell. They will say or do anything to keep getting the billions of investment capital by corporations looking for cheap pliable labor and no environmental restrictions.
Reply:yes they are still developing nations by the contrast of the economic condition of majority of their people with other developed countries
Reply:Its the West that has called India and China developing countries .A developing country means that it`s risen above third world status but is not yet fully industrialised . Developing


doesn`t mean the country is lacking in technology only that vast areas are still rural and don`t yet have infrastructure
Reply:It is the rest of the world that has given them this designation. Their nation as a whole is certainly developing. The creation of a few pieces of technology doesn't change that. You have to look at the bigger picture. Most of China is completely rural. Both countries are still in their infancy as far as infrastructure is concerned.
