BBC documentary showing Shanghai in 1980.

At that time, XX% of Chinese in cities & almost XXX% of the people in rural areas lived in extreme poverty.

China was poorer than India & nearly all the African countries.

What it took for the incredible transformation that followed must be studied by all developing nations now.
