This is another great illustration of China's development, even in its poorest rural regions. We've just arrived at the train station of Yabuli, a small rural town with a population of 50k and a ski station in Heilongjiang province, which is the second poorest province in the country by...

I just spent over RMB 20k in the local Yabuli economy for our 4-day stay there. How's that for a "European free rider", dear anonymous idiot?

When the box says ‘Made in China’, where do people think their money goes? And what do they think they are spending it all on?

On busier days during the CNY and weekends, there are trains to Harbin from Yabuli South station, which is located directly in front of the ski resort.

Yabuli is small but rich, it's like the Davos of China.

Living in China, when I go back to London it's so rundown.

China's government has more to do to help its poorest citizens. While "extreme poverty" has been eliminated, there are still about 200 million people in the most remote parts of China which are living on less than $10 dollars a day, but more than $4.20 per day. As of 2023, 90% of China’s rural population had tap-water coverage. The same report said rural tap-water rate is expected to reach 92% by end of 2024. The thing of it is that China's government is fully engaged in raising more people into a higher standard of living. The government and CPC are under no illusions that everything is perfect. China is now fully engaged in a program of "Common Prosperity" to continue to raise the remain population into a higher standard of living. Some of the 2035 goals of this program are to: 1. Per capita GDP to approximately double (from 2020), reaching levels comparable with “medium-developed” economies. 2. About 80% of the population would fall into the middle-income bracket 3. Ensure equitable access to public services (education, healthcare, social welfare) across the population by 2035. 4. Narrow development gaps between regions (e.g., richer/coastal vs. less developed inland) and between urban and rural areas. Partially through increasing urbanization from 67% (now) to 80%. 5. to “basically achieve socialist modernization,” which intersects strongly with the common prosperity agenda. 6. Broadly establish eco-friendly modes of work and life; by 2035, achieve “Beautiful China” goals: improve the environment, reduce emissions (or stabilize them), and make lasting gains in ecological protection. 7. According to a human development analysis, by 2035 China expects to reach a Human Development Index (HDI) of over 0.85, which would place it among advanced nations. I continue frequently taking trips into China's deep countryside, deserts, and its remote mountains to see this progress. And its heartening.

I stuck my camera out the car window and filmed a drive-through of a rural village in Zhejiang province, leaving Anji County (Huzhou) and entering Yuhang District (Hangzhou). Shangougou Village (山沟沟村) is small and serene, nestled among the bamboo-carpeted hills. It has just a few streets, a scenic area, a handful of shops, some greenhouses, and a cluster of large village homes. Shangougou is administered by Luniao Town (鸬鸟镇) about 7km away, where you'll find the closest hospital, fire station, and other basic services. It's very similar to the villages of Anji County, but one thing stands out: the houses here seem to be reserved for personal use (and aren't outfitted as guesthouses for tourism). But at the same time, it doesn't seem like many people actually live in them full-time. My guess is most working-age residents work elsewhere, and these villages come alive mainly during holidays, while the elderly stay behind year-round. This vision of rural life isn't representative of rural China on the whole, but it is very typical of the countryside in wealthier coastal provinces like Zhejiang and Jiangsu, where rural prosperity looks less like dense economic activity and more like this: big houses, nice modern infrastructure, and very few people except for holidays. Most people in China would call this level of development "富农村" (rich countryside) and see it as a standard of success that rural areas anywhere else in the country should aspire to - though whether less well-endowed regions can realistically achieve this is another question.
