My own experience is different .While a village may not boast 5 star hotels, bars, expensive salons, malls and resorts it does have:
- Excellent schools
- Hospitals , both Western and traditional,
- Police Stations with a fleet of modern police cars.
- Technical Schools
- Modern Food stores with both frozen and fresh vegetables, fish and meat.
- Clean hygienic eating houses, tea rooms, noodle and soup houses.
- Hardware stores with facilities for rental tools.
- Farmers markets for produce and livestock.
-Vehicle dealerships ( small ones) for service and maintenance of farm equipment.
-Bus and where applicable rail stations.
- Public restrooms . lots of them.
- Water tower
- Power station or distribution substation/
-Feeder road to the nearest expressway.
- Where applicable a small trolley or train station.
- A single fueling station selling gasoline/petrol, paraffin, and diesel oil.
- Gas "bullet" . Or underground gas tank storing LPG for cooking and heating and a vending station selling LPG cylinders.
- There are lots of e-bikes and small neighborhood electric vehicles.

There used to be bathhouses and neighborhood rest room facilities but these have mostly vanished since China underwent a massive housing reform project and moved to a nuclear family system living in modern single family homes. Usually these are town homes.

A rural/urban divide is not about infrastructure but social. A rich village can have everything but still be village.

To me a village is one where everyone knows everyone and his parents and grandparents as well. In town the majority say 60-70 ppercent has rough acquantainence with each other approximately what they engage in. wheras a city provides maximum anonymity.

Without sharing personal information all I can say is that my work over 5 years made me travel over most of China mainly in Shanxi, Shandong, Xinjiang provinces and of course the main cities of Shenzhen Beijing and Guangzhou, as well as Hong Kong. Two cities I didn't visit was Shanghai and Wuhan.
What impressed me was not the cities so much , but the rural development in China and over the years I was there I watched the rapid transformation of the move from small walk-behind farm machines to bigger tractors, and then on to the really big farm equipment. I also watched the transformation of the common Chinese people in mobility from mopeds, light motorcycles, scooters to small cars, then larger SUVs.
But my information is out dated:
As for time line: All I can tell you is that I was there for the Beijing Olympics.
Shortly afterwards an accident and disability, terminated my work in China, but I stayed in touch with my friends and colleagues over there and my replacement who
continues to travel exchanging information.
So I am out of date but I do miss going back to China. Someday if by a miracle my mobility is restored I plan to go and travel on the Qing Hai Tibet railway. My life's ambition!

The railway around the Taklamakan Desert is also about to complete, China is a good place for the people who love to travel by train.

The most impressive is that the superpower India wants to make white people slaves, China never think about to be superpower not to mention make others slaves, no matter black or white.
