and developed countriesKofi Annan，former Secretary General of the United Nations，defined a developed country as follows.“A developed country is one that allows all its citizens to enjoy a free and healthy life in a safe environment.” But according to the United Nations Statistics Division：There is no established convention for the designation of “developed” and “developing” countries or areas in the United Nations system.And it notes that：The designations “developed” and “developing” a re intended for statistical convenience and do not necessarily express a judgment about the stage reached by a particular country or area in the development process.The UN also notes：In common practice，Japan in Asia，Canada and the United States in northen America，Austrialia and New Zealand in Oceania，and Europe，are considered “developed” regions or areas.In international trade statistics，the Southern African Customs Union is also treated as a developed region and Israel as a developed country；countries emerging from the former Yugoslavia are treated as developing countries；and countries of eastern Europe and of the Commonwealth of Independent States(code 172)in Europe are not included under either developed or developing regions.On the other hand，according to the classification from International Monetary(IMF)before April 2004，all the countries of Eastern Europe(including Central European countries which still belong to “Eastern Europe Group” in the UN institutions)as well as the former Soviet Union(USSR)countries in Central Asia(Kazakhstan，Uzbekistan，Kyrgyzstan，Tajikistan and Turkmenistan)and Mongolia，were not included under either developed or developing regions，but rather were referred to as “countries in transition”；however they are now widely regarded(in the international reports)as “developing countries”．The IMF uses a flexible classification system that considers “(1)per capita income level，(2)export diversification—so oil exporters that have high per capita GDP would not make the advanced classification because around 70% of its exports are oil，and(3)degree of integration into the global financial system.”The World Bank classifies countries into four income groups.These are set each year on July 1st.Economies were divided according to 2008 GNI per capita using the following ranges of income：Low income countries had GNI per capita of US$1,005 or less.Lower middle income countries had GNI per capita between US$1,006 and US$3,975.Upper middle income countries had GNI per capita between US$3,976 and US$12,275.High income countries had GNI above US$12,276.The World Bank classifies all low-and middle-income countries as developing but notes，“The use of the term is convenient；it is not intended to imply that all economies in the group are experiencing similar development or that other economies have reached a preferred or final stage of development.Classification by income does not necessarily reflect development status.”2Helping Africa Prosper(繁荣)China's latest measures to boost China-African ties，outlined by President Hu Jintao on Thursday in Beijing，will enrich Sino-African cooperation and open up new prospects for the development of the bilateral partnership.Addressing the opening ceremony of the fifth Ministerial Conference of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation，Hu put forward five priority areas to expand bilateral interaction with African countries.He announced that China will provide a $20 billion credit line to African countries，to help them develop infrastructure(基础设施)，agriculture，manufacturing，and small and medium-sized enterprises.China will also help African countries enhance their capacity for overall development，and will work to promote peace and stability in Africa，so as to create a secure environment for the continent's developmen t.Other measures include an “African Talents Programme” to train 30,000 personnel in various sectors，offering 18,000 government scholarships，sending more medicalpersonnel to the continent，and projects to provide safe drinking water for the African people.These solemn pledges indicate China is expanding and deepening its cooperation to enhance its partnership with Africa in an all-round way.It is noteworthy that in recent years China has focused on helping build the continent's productive capacity by improving its infrastructure and boosting the manufacturing sector(制造业)．It is always better to teach people how to fish than to simply give them fish.Statistics indicate that by August 2011，China had built more than 3,000 kilometers of roads，over 2,000 km of railway,100 schools and 60 hospitals on the African continent.China's commitment also includes massive tariff cuts and debt exemptions for scores of African nations.China's generous assistance to Africa has helped improve the lives of African people and contributed to the continent's social and economic development.Expanding the depth and scope of China-Africa cooperation will also make their cooperation more sustainable.This conforms to China's commitment to developing relations with Africa based on equality and mutual benefit.For China，Africa's exports of crude oil，minerals，steel and agricultural products have played an active role in raising Chinese people's standard of living.On the other hand，China also provides Africa with much-needed products and technologies，and a vast market for its commodities.With the world economy still facing many uncertainties，China and African countries have everything to gain from forging healthier relations and seeking a win-win scenario(方案)in their cooperation.。
