    This is actually really great! While China’s rapid economic development has been immensely positive it also came with a few downsides and one of those has been the tendency for the population from rural areas to migrate to the cities, leaving the former with a weakened economic base as well as a relative lack of development and investment, and the latter with all the various challenges and issues that come with overcrowding. If initiatives like this can help heal some of that imbalance it will be a major win for China and for the overall quality of life of its people in both types of regions.
