That village, in Jiangxi province, is still one of China's poorest. And it's far from the classless dream Mao espoused while he was there. Asia Sat, 26 May 2012 17:20:43 -0500 Conflating some poverty to what it is not. China's rural areas much better of than India' for a larger populations. Just see the public defecation difference (30 Million versus 660 plus million). How come nearly all of China is electrified? How come one province has given all its villages broadband.
