American media is genuinely so busted lol like how can you write this article and expect to be taken seriously. Here are some more examples of their “journalism”

    the ‘rural areas being left behind’ are growing faster than anywhere on the planet, btw. all the chinese factories that people think are moving to mexico or vietnam are actually mostly moving to the chinese interior.

      If the “rural areas being left behind” in China are not counted in global poverty statistics over the past 40 years, the number of people living in poverty globally has risen. Yet, when you count the so-called “rural areas being left behind” in China in global poverty statistics over the past 40 years, the number of people living in poverty globally has fallen.

      Which means that there is literally like… one place on the entire planet where the rural poor are NOT being left behind. I wish somebody could tell us where it is.
