Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that China should no longer be labeled as a "Developing Nation" by the United Nations.

HRES 687 is a non-binding resolution expressing the House of Representatives' view that the United Nations should stop classifying China as a "Developing Nation." It cites China's status as an upper-middle-income economy (per the World Bank), its position as the world's largest goods exporter, and its $679 billion in global infrastructure investments (2013-2022) as evidence that its economic scale no longer aligns with the "developing nation" designation. The resolution directly addresses international trade and aid frameworks where China's classification currently grants it preferential treatment under UN treaties. It does not change policy but formally urges the UN to reconsider China's status based on its economic reality.
