The United States approved a bill to deprive China of the status of a developing country.

The House of Representatives of the US Congress unanimously voted for a bill that requires the secretary of state to work to deprive China of the status of a developing country within the framework of international organizations, the Hill newspaper writes.

It is noted that 415 people voted for the act “China is not a developing country” (PRC Is Not a Developing Country Act).

“The bill directs the Secretary of State to ‘seek’ a change in China’s status … to (status) an upper-middle-income, high-income, or developed country in international organizations that include both the United States and China,” the publication said.
