Don’t Believe What You Read About China

We used to read lots of stories about how the Chinese economic boom was only in the coastal areas, and that the interior has been left behind. That wasn’t even true in the old days, although the interior was and is still poorer. When I arrived by train at the central Chinese city of Wuhan in 1994 I felt like I was in Calcutta, swept along by a mob of people in a crowded, dirty and confusing train station. Here’s Wuhan’s HSR station today, in the “backward” part of China.

It is comparing a HSR Railway station(which is like an airport in luxury) with a non-HSR Railway station in Calcutta. :woot::woot::woot:
