Cityfarmer, just a friendly discussion, I will suggest if you have a chance to visit these rural cities and keep a lookout for its infrastructure. I have been in worse roads in India and Indonesia. I just bought our famous pork floss bread in one of the bakery in the town and it cost IMO ridiculous price of 7 RMB, but 1.5x bigger than our bread talk. While driving past the bakery, I passed by a hospital that is as large as our NUH. These rural folks are not as poor as what media tries to portray. One of conversation I had with the local contact was the vast difference in lifestyle from 10 years ago and now. This is the speed of China development.
