These are very nice and impressive! Thanks to the Party's great leadership!

Ah yes, China's famous Xiaokang border village strategy. Have to admit, they look pretty good, and it's a nice strategy to mark your borders.

What do the people in these villages actually do, are they farmers or do they have factories there ? Seems a lot of them are just brand new well planned little "villages" in areas where t here was nothing earlier.

The Chinese Hukou system doesn't allow poor peasants to flood the big cities in search of work and money, does it ? It is why your cities seem so well planned and good compared to a Mumbai or Karachi or Dhaka etc in the subcontinent.

It's a good option for a poor rural Chinese family to be shifted to one of these types of village/outpost areas. How does the CCP decide who gets to go there ?

India could actually learn from this kind of thing, too bad all our top leadership is always fighting with each other on retarded issues which will win them votes and keep them in power.

I can give you a quick answer.

Firstly, government offers direct subsidies to the residents living in the boarder. The subsidy amount is RMB 6,000 per person per year (one RMB = 12 India Rupee).

Quote from the Government Working Report of the Tibet Autonomous Region 2020

Secondly, tourism is the major income resource.

the following link shows the feedbacks from the tourists to the boarder area. One comment mentions: 旁边的村子建的非常好，也是家家户户都是农家乐. The translation is: the villages I saw are built very nicely. Almost all households there have their own home-based inn & restaurant that open to the tourists.

Thirdly, other than the individual subsidy that abovely mentioned, government also offers subsidies to the boarder village to support the economy development there. The subsidy amount is RMB 500k per village per year. The village have the flexibility to decide how they spend these money, e.g. on irrigation systems, seeds, agricultural machinery etc.

Fourthly, the big ticket procurement on agricultural products from the developed regions in China.
China has a unique supporting-mechanism to the less-developed regions. Basically, each developed province (e.g. Shanghai, Beijing, Guangdong etc) is mandated to support a prefecture-level city from Xinjiang and Tibet. Take Shanghai as an example, Shanghai's duty is to support the economy development of Kashgar of Xinjiang and Shigatse of Tibet. As part of Shanghai's economy support to Kashgar and Shigatse, the Shanghai-based companies will routinely make big amount of procurement there, mainly the agricultural products.

Yes, they look good. Though the big Chinese cities, from the imagery I have seen, seem to copy the unsightly skyscraper construction from Dubai and USA's cities.

Agreed. As long as political party system exists in India, as opposed to a party-less system, ridiculous issues will lead to unnecessary conflict to the detriment of actual development.

I like that.

 

[GS Zhou]

I like that.

Thanks. I also quite like it, although as a resident based in Shanghai, such mandatory supporting mechanism means I "lost" some economy benefits as such benefits are transferred to Tibet and Xinjiang. But so what? Just like a big family, the rich one always shoulders the responsibility to help the less-rich one.

I don't think you understand how hukou works, hundreds of millions of rural. Chinese travel to various cities to work, and if they can afford to buy a house, then they can apply for hukou in that city to access subsidize education medical and insurance, after a few years of stay depending on city. Hukou does not prevent ppl from working or staying in the cities, it's to prevent overwhelming the social security systems in place. Hukou makes social welfare is distributed by your origin, so let's say you pay pensions in Shanghai, yoh might only be able to access your pensions in your village, paid at a lower rate since living in the village is cheaper.

Thanks. I also quite like it, although as a resident based in Shanghai,

This village was designed and built by Shanghai, I guess they must be very appreciative of your help.
