I don't think any country is going 1st world next. More like most 1st world countries are going 2nd world.

Wrong.

Public healthcare, stable and transparent democracy, lack of widespread rioting and no mass shootings put it firmly in 1st world.

Without oil and religion tourism they are on zimbabwe level.

Theyre slowly developing oil-independent tech and even new gen Arabs are turning atheists so things arent looking good for them.

China is way behind on a lot of per capita metrics, as a data point China gdp per capita is $14.1k lower than Romania at $14.8k, Poland at $18.5k and Iran at $20.3k

Its an enormous country though with 1.4 billion population so while they are probably a superpower they are still way behind the US and its not even close

To be true first world nation per capita metrics need to be at least at western European levels, China is way behind on a per capita basis

A lot of countries have oil, look at countries like Russia and Venezuela they have as much oil as the Gulf nations, but for some reason the Gulf nations are far more developed, their way of life is antithetical to the US/western way of life but to say they are rich because of oil only is not giving them enough credit for being reasonably organized, that said first world nations generally have strong gender equality rights so until they fix that they will always be considered somewhat backwards
