Brunei, the 'small country' in Southeast Asia, is more rich than Dubai? Why is the presence so low?

> > Can you believe it? There is a "small pocket country" in Southeast Asia. It is very rich but has a very low sense of existence. It can be described as almost no one cares. Its land area is only 5,765 square kilometers and the total population is less than 500,000 people. That's it. A small country that is not as big as China's first- and second-tier cities has an annual per capita GDP that is 6 times that of China, and its wealth is probably "gold everywhere". This country that is even richer than Dubai is Brunei, so why is it rich? No one cares about running oil? What kind of country is Brunei? >

When it comes to Brunei, a small country in Southeast Asia, most people should only have a vague impression. In fact, this country has deep roots with China. Brunei is one of the few countries in the world with an autocratic monarchy. As early as the Liang and Song dynasties, Brunei's The king has been sending envoys to visit China. During the Ming Dynasty, Chinese brave generals went to Brunei to search for gold. By coincidence, they also helped the king of Brunei to establish a new empire, so he was regarded as one of the ancestors of Brunei by the Brunei royal family.

Even the flag of Brunei was specially designed to commemorate the Chinese who made great contributions, but the good times did not last long. Brunei, a small country with very rich natural resources, became the coveted object of the colonists. , Since the 16th century, Brunei has become a colony of many countries, so the question is, how did Brunei become the richest country in Southeast Asia? Let's look down.

do you know? Before Brunei became the richest country in Southeast Asia, it went through nearly a hundred years of hard life. Not only was the economy and natural resources robbed, but even the people lived in very difficult times. The whole country fell into a very miserable situation. After the end of World War II, Brunei became a British colony, but they were very eager and persistent for independence. In the 1970s, Brunei and the United Kingdom officially declared independence in 1984 after a long negotiation process.

Joining the United Nations in September of the same year, Brunei finally ushered in its own hundred gardens, but it is not easy to restart the colonial life for a hundred years. Fortunately, Brunei is rich in oil and natural gas resources. Not only can it be self-sufficient, but it can also export in large quantities. That is, with these resources, Brunei has gradually embarked on the road of making a fortune. It is understood that these two resources have become the main economic pillars of Brunei, accounting for the total annual national GDP. 70% of the amount.

In addition, rich fishery resources have also brought great wealth to Brunei, but after discovering that the cake of resources has become smaller, Brunei has turned its attention to tourism and has become Brunei's second only second to oil and The second largest economic pillar of natural gas, developing a diversified economy, strengthening foreign investment and introducing high-paying technologies have allowed Brunei to stabilize its economic level and have the ability to climb to the top of the world. According to incomplete statistics, Brunei's per capita GDP is As high as 33,824 US dollars, many people ask, is it more rich than Dubai? Let's look down.

Can you imagine it? Brunei turned out to be a country that is even richer than Dubai. Not only does the palace look resplendent, but even many buildings in Brunei are made of gold. Speaking of which aspects can reflect Brunei's wealth, it is not enough to look only at Brunei's architecture.

First of all, this country is committed to achieving social wealth fairness. In terms of taxation, Brunei’s policies are very loose. There is no personal income tax, export tax, etc., and even corporate income tax and stamp duty are symbolic. Tens of thousands of ordinary people have tasted the fruits of wealth. In terms of residence, Brunei has no purchase tax or even subsidies. The main reason is that the population is relatively sparse. If Brunei citizens want to build their own houses, the land can be used for free. Just pay a small registration fee.

You may not imagine that almost every household in Brunei is a villa. On average, each family has two or three cars. The total local population is less than 500,000, and the total number of cars is 300,000. It is really rare, and in medical care In terms of education, the state attaches great importance to it. The people of Brunei have free medical treatment, free education, and even corresponding subsidies and subsidies. Under such a policy, Brunei has not only achieved medical treatment for diseases, but also has an education level. It is also generally high. Presumably this small country with an area less than half the size of Beijing will be more prosperous and strong in the future. What do you think of this?
