你怎么看中国去年的发展？

China’s development over the past year (or 2–3) has been impressive. The country is moving away from a model that places economic growth as the only important thing, and towards a model that emphasises quality of life. This is visible in a lot of ways in Shenzhen (where I used to live), among other places:
Continuous improvement of public space. Over the past 1–2ish years, Shenzhen has seen more parks, more greenways, more bike paths, etc. being built.
More homes being built outside of the city. Many major Chinese cities are surrounded by satellite cities. In the example of Shenzhen, this would include Dongguan (东莞）and Huizhou （惠州). Understanding that property prices in Shenzhen are ludicrously expensive for an average, there is a continued push towards moving people outside of the city to lower-priced housing. The key here is high-speed rail, which can link cities like Dongguan and Huizhou with Shenzhen very easily.
The development of mobile payments and the sharing economy has been incredible. In just the past 1.5ish years, we have seen companies like Mobike and Ofo invade cities with their shared bikes, enabled by the fact that everyone in China uses a smart phone, and most people use smartphones as mobile wallets. This is a new phenomenon still, but we have not seen the end of it, with there being huge potential in China for the sharing economy, enabled by WeChat pay and AliPay.
Over the past year, China has also made big strides with its space program, a topic that I’ve written about extensively for work. China is now probably the second most-capable single space nation (behind only the US, and ahead of any individual EU country). The past year saw China launch a quantum satellite, launch its first high-throughput broadband satellite, and the country’s private space industry is starting to develop. Moving forward, I believe that China will end up being the most powerful space nation from the perspective of governmental capabilities, though the United States will likely see its private space industry continue to innovate rapidly as well, funded by Musk and Bezos.
Some changes over the past year have been a bit concerning, though. We’ve seen more consolidation of power, more CCTV cameras being used, and now things like facial recognition technology becoming more common. As a law-abiding citizen in China, there is still nominally nothing to fear, but this is what we might call a slippery slope towards pure authoritarianism.
With that said, I am still optimistic about China’s future. The country has, over the past few decades, built a diverse and vibrant economy, and we are starting to see China take the lead, or catch up with other countries, in industries such as aerospace, mobile app technology, AI, etc.

中国去年或者说过去两三年的发展是令人印象深刻的。中国已经不再将经济发展作为唯一的要务，更关注生活质量了。这在深圳等地方就可以看的出来。我以前居住在深圳。
公共空间的持续提高。过去一两年，深圳建设了更多公园，更多绿道，更多自行车道等等。
城市之外建造了更多房子。中国的很多大城市都被卫星城市围绕着。比如深圳，被东莞和惠州围绕着。深圳的房价对于普通人来说太贵了，所以就推动人们在城市之外的地方购买低价的房屋。这里的关键是高铁，这样深圳和东莞以及惠州的连接就容易多了。
移动支付和共享经济的发展真是不可置信。仅仅在过去的一年半时间里，摩拜和OFO就入侵了城市，因为中国人都用智能手机，然后大家也都用手机来当钱包用。这依然是个新现象，但是远未结束，共享经济在中国拥有巨大潜力，得到了微信支付和支付宝的助力。
过去一年，中国在太空项目上也取得了很大进展。在太空方面，中国现在可能排名第二，仅次于美国，领先于任何一个欧盟国家。中国还发射了一颗量子卫星，以及中国的第一颗高通量宽带卫星，中国的私人太空产业也开始发展。我相信未来从政府能力的层面看，中国将成为最强大的空间国家，虽然美国能在私人太空产业上继续快速创新，主要是在马斯克和贝佐斯的推动。
中国过去一年来的某些变化有点令人担忧。我们看到了更多的权力巩固，更多监控摄像头被安装，而现在面部识别技术也越来越普遍。作为一个合法的中国公民，确实没有什么值得害怕，但是可能会产生一种所谓的滑坡谬误，走向完全的独裁主义。
话虽如此，我依然对中国的未来持乐观态度。中国在过去几十年来建成了一个多样有活力的经济，我们看到中国开始引领世界，或者追赶上了其他国家，比如在航天，移动APP技术以及AI等领域。

Highly impressive:
They have achievements at a much earlier stage of development than countries with similar achievements.
Some of these achievements have already been covered by Blaine Curcio
I will cover the economic side of things:
China has a GDP PPP Per Capita of $18,066 effectively ranking it as one of the “high middle income” countries, a remarkable achievement for a country of 1 billion people.
Infact have a look at this interesting graph:
That shows the performance of various countries between 1980 and 2016, what it tells us is that China was the fastest growing economy ever and the greatest improvement in living standards in those years (EG doesn’t count because all of its wealth goes to its greedy elites thus it has seen no improvement in the living standards of its people).

非常令人印象深刻：
他们取得成就的速度比其他拥有类似成就的国家快。
楼上提及了其中一些。我就说说经济层面的：
中国的人均GDP（PPP）为18066美元，也就是说中国是一个“高中等收入”国家，对于一个10亿人口的国家来说，这是一个了不起的成就。
让我们看看以下这张有意思的图表：
这张图表明了不同国家在1980到2016年间的表现，从中可知，这些年来，中国是经济增速最快的国家，也是生活水平提高最多的国家。
