If the Palestinian economy wants to catch up with Shanghai and Israel, it still needs to work hard!
At present, the legitimate land area of Palestine is 6250 square kilometers, with a population of 5.4 million, an economic volume of 140 billion, and a per capita GDP of 25900 yuan; If 8.2 million people from neighboring Palestine return, then the population of Palestine would be 13.6 million! Approximately equivalent to the population size of Wuhan and Tianjin in China. But Tianjin has an area of 11900 square kilometers, which is almost twice the size of Palestine; Wuhan also has an area of 8569 square kilometers, approximately 1.37 times that of Palestine! What does this mean? The population density of Palestine is still much higher than that of China's mega cities of Wuhan and Tianjin! The population density of the legitimate Palestinian territory has reached approximately 2176 people per square kilometer! It can be ranked in the top ten among major cities in China. This shows the high population density of Palestine! This indicates that Palestine has almost met the conditions for urbanization in the entire urban area! But the main weakness of Palestine lies in its economy!
The area of Palestine is similar to that of Shanghai, the largest city in China, but Shanghai is only slightly larger than Palestine. Shanghai has an area of 6341 square kilometers, a population of 24.76 million, an economic volume of 4465.3 billion, and a per capita GDP of over 180000 yuan! The population of Shanghai is over 11 million more than that of Palestine, and the total economic output of Palestine is only 3.1% of that of Shanghai. The per capita GDP of Palestine is only 14% of that of Shanghai!
From this, it can be seen that although Palestine is not comparable to Shanghai, it does have economic potential comparable to China's Wuhan and Tianjin! But the potential of Palestine has not yet been realized! The population of Palestine is definitely sufficient! However, efforts are still needed to achieve wealth and build a high-quality urban economy! At present, the total economic output of Shanghai in US dollars is approximately 670 billion, while that of Israel is 522 billion! Based on the potential of Palestine, it can be compared to Shanghai. So it means that the total economic output of Palestine can surpass that of Israel! In the future competition between Palestine and Israel, it depends on how to maximize the potential of the Palestinian economy!
