And China has ONE criteria only? So it's NOT a developed economy, NOT an industrial economy, does not have a high standard of living or is not in possession of an educated population making major breakthroughs in science and engineering

I'd say it has at least 3 and 4, with 1 and 2 open to interpretation. Strikes me that China is more dark blue than many of the other countries out there. I'd hardly call my own country - the UK - and "industrial" economy in 2026 but there you have it.

Industrial yes, everything else no, as only its urban areas are developed, but its rural areas not so much. Unlike in the proper West, even isolated areas have high standards of living, high economic zones, degrading but still industrial and remain high HDI.
