Comprehensive National Power ( CNP ) ( Chinese : 综合国力 ; pinyin : zōnghé guólì) is a putative measure, important in the contemporary political thought of the People's Republic of China , of the general power of a nation-state . CNP can be calculated numerically by combining various quantitative indices to create a single number held to measure the power of a nation-state. [ citation needed ] These indices take into account both military factors (known as hard power ) and economic and cultural factors (known as soft power ). CNP is notable for being an original Chinese political concept with no roots in either contemporary Western political theory, Marxism-Leninism , or pre-20th century Chinese thinking. There is a general consensus that the United States is the nation with the highest CNP and that mainland China 's CNP ranks not only far behind the United States but also behind the United Kingdom , Russia , France and Germany .

What are the Top Manufacturing Countries?
The world's top manufacturing country is the United States, and this has been the case since before World War II. In 2007, the United States' manufacturing output was $1.831 trillion US Dollars (USD). This is about 12% of the USA's entire gross domestic product ( GDP ), or $12,206 USD for every person in the 150 million-strong labor force . Still, the USA's output per capita is not the world's greatest — that honor goes to Japan.GNI per capita in 2009 : China (3,650 $) Higher GNI per capita compared to China

This article includes a list of China's historical gross domestic product (GDP) values , the market value of all final goods and services produced by a nation in a given year. The GDP dollar estimates presented here are either calculated at market or government official exchange rates (nominal), or derived from purchasing power parity (PPP) calculations. This article also includes historical GDP growth . In 1985, the State Council of China ( SCC ) approved to establish a SNA (System of National Accounting), use the GDP to measure the national economy. China started the study of theoretical foundation, guiding, and accounting model etc., for establishing a new system of national economic accounting.

Historical GDP of the People's Republic of China
This article includes three lists of countries of the world sorted by their gross domestic product (GDP) (the value of all final goods and services produced within a state in a given year). The GDP dollar estimates given on this page are derived from purchasing power parity (PPP) calculations. [ edit ] Background Using a PPP basis is arguably more useful when comparing generalized differences in total economic output between countries because PPP takes into account the relative costs and the inflation rates of the countries, rather than using just exchange rates which may distort the real differences in income. Economies do self-adjust to currency changes over time, and technology intensive and luxury goods, raw materials and energy prices are mostly unaffected by difference in currency (the latter more by subsidies), however this is taken into account by the price comparison surveys, such as the International Comparison Program, which are used as the basis for PPP calculations.
